  1. Thankyou very much for this info and I like that you found them with two different measurements that made the same size brick (because I only understood one of the measurements) to cut. Thanks again :thumb: I am doing my daughters homework for her. Her teacher Mr. B. had the class read a book called "The Dollhouse Murders", I was not given this assignment (of reading the book) however I was elected by my daughter to "help" her with the rest of the assigment which is to build a dollhouse (from whatever materials you have on hand) not from a kit. And it has to be scale. 1 - 12 The house itself and all of the furnishings has to be made by hand (again no kits allowed) so here I am trying to do everything from scratch. Not as easy as she thought. The house on the cover of the book looks a bit like the Garfield. I have started some of the furniture but it's hard for me because I haven't even started in on the house yet. The best part, here it is, my daughter has told the whole class that it will have everything except running water. Some of the houses that have been brought in already from the other kids are absolutely fabulous. They have really great imaginations. I'm going to try and take some pics and post them here as soon as possible. Thanks again for the help, as always I'm sure I'll be back for more.
  2. Hello every one I haven't been around in awhile and I'm at somewhat of a lose. There's alot of things that I seem to have forgotten and I would really appreciate any help that you can offer. What I'm looking for is the measurements for making bricks out of egg cartons. Was there a tutorial for this? I'm sure someone wrote a tutorial for it somewhere but I can't remember right now. Any help would be fantastic, thank you in advance. Dar

  9. I would love to look but your link isn't working, might be me? not sure tried three times.
  10. I painted my brass hinges with black paint they look great!!
  11. Sorry should have said red/brown brick with marbling through it with grey grouting.
  12. I'm wanting red brick with kind of marlbing through it.
  13. Hi everyone, I'm just a little bit, okay more than a liitle bit stuck. I made paper claybrick siding for my house (I used an impressions matt for this, yes I know that I'm cheating but as paper clay is non toxic I can put the matt back in with my cake decorating things) Any ways I made the paperclay bricks and put them on the side of my house and now I want to paint them. I want them to look fairly realistic in the sense of coloring - I don't want them to be just red, brown, black and white. But those are the colors that I want to make it look right to me. #1 How do I do the grouting in between the bricks? #2 Any suggestions as to what colors to use to achieve brick coloring? How much paint? Waht kind of paint? #3 Any suggestions as to how to apply said paint? #4 After painting and grouting does the brick work need to be sealed with any type of sealer? If so what kind? I don't think it should be shiney. Thank you in advance for all of your help this is one of the last things I have to do to finish the exterior excluding the landscaping, and I know that I'll be right back here asking for more help. This will be the first house that I will be landscaping and if it turns out well I may go back and do my other houses and this is good practise for my Beacon Hill that's hiding under my daughter's bed.
