  1. I've decided to try a new technique with the roof. I have no idea if it will work ... I took skewer sticks and placed them on the roof, and then put glue in between the sticks. I then take 1/2 inch strips of paperclay and roll it around the sticks, pressing them down in the center to adhere them to the roof. This is what I'm coming up with. What do you all think? Compliments of LPCullen
  2. Jimmy has finally gotten the roof all paperclayed, and he came up with his own design for the top of the roof. I'm not real fond of it, but it's his design, and he's the roofer. I went ahead and put a dirty wash on the roof. Now, for the color of the roof--I couldn't tell you what I did. I mixed red iron oxide, burnt sienna and toffee brown until I came to a shade that I liked. Compliments of LPCullen
  3. The Coventry is now finished, doors are in, etc. Tell me what you think! THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE, INCLUDING PORCH AND ROOF SIDE OF HOUSE BACKSIDE AND UPPER ROOM SMALLER ROOM DOWNSTAIRS, KITCHEN? BACK SIDE OF HOUSE, OTHER SIDE UPPER ROOM ON OTHER BACK SIDE LARGE ROOM ON BOTTOM Compliments of LPCullen
  4. These pictures aren't very good, but they are ones that I took to show how I paperclayed the rooms with the bay windows. It was not easy, LOL! This is the bay window before paperclay. It's a difficult angle too. Kinda glad I didn't wallpaper it. Almost. Got some of the paperclay in. Now it's all finished! When doing interior trims, I put the trim in first and then paperclayed up to the trim, like around the door frames. On the edges of the house, going toward the outside of the house, I used my fingers and sort of "tamped" it down. Of course, once I have paperclayed, I always do the "stippling" to texture the paperclay. Compliments of LPCullen
  5. Figured I'd give you all a recap on the Coventry, since you may not have yet figured out what we are doing with it. I saw this house, and I thought, ADOBE!!! Consulted with son-in-law to get his opinion on whether what was in my head [scary thought, that!] could be transferred to this little house. Plus, I have NO CLUE what adobe should look like! He came over, went over things with me, was astounded at some of my thoughts and plans for how this was going to happen (he's never encountered paperclay before), and helped build part of this house. The outside of the house, except for the roofing, is mostly finished. It is all paperclayed, and then painted with a color wash (or I may have done that twice) of Toffee Brown. The floors are stained with Red Oak and then polyeurethaned twice, and the trim work is also stained with Red Oak, as are the ceilings, and then wiped off and allowed to dry naturally without polyeurethane. The interior of the house is paperclayed and left natural, but I have to go back and fix the cracks.... I also need to get pix in the day time, because the true colors are not showing up. Here's what it looks like now. Compliments of LPCullen
  6. After having roofed for a while, I decided that I like my old way of roofing better, and I have stuck Jimmy with the job. He began roofing, put on his apron, finished the front, and then had me put in skewers for the back. And then had about 1/2 bottle of wild turkey .... But I must say, he's doing a right fine job, even if he is quite funny, LOL! Compliments of LPCullen
  7. Let's see, where were we now? Ah yes, I remember. Sorry for the delay. When we last left off, I had paperclayed around the porch area, and then I did the one bay window beside the porch. Today I put the porch railings on, and then I finished paperclaying the exterior of the house. I have to let that dry before I can do anything else to the house, since I've already messed up one area by hitting it on something ... BTW, I'm not sure if what I am doing is going to work yet, but I've got a picture in my head of what I want, and hopefully it will come out. I'm still debating about paperclaying the interior of the house, or wallpapering some areas. I haven't decided yet, but because I've already stained the ceilings, I will probably go ahead and paperclay because I'll need the offset of the "plaster" against the ceilings, plus the windows I want will need the plaster too.... Tomorrow I also have to go take pix of the roof that I want to copy. Another person who will think I am nuts when I knock on their door and ask them if I can take pix of their roof, LOL! Oh well, I'm used to it. So, can anyone tell what I am doing yet? Compliments of LPCullen
  8. I've finished gluing some pieces together, and I've finished some of my staining. I know I've been silent about what I'm attempting to do with this house--partly because I'm scared I won't get it right, and partly because I want it to be a surprise! I've begun paperclaying some of the exterior. I've also learned another lesson with paperclay--and that is to either take your diamond ring OFF your finger before beginning, or turn it around so that the diamond doesn't jab into the paperclay and gash it. Wanna know how I know? I'm wondering, can anyone figure out what I'm gonna try to do with this house? What does it say to you? Compliments of LPCullen
  9. Now that Josh has "put some of it together", I've got to go behind him and glue it, because he didn't. I did enjoy watching him work though, and showing him what we do. Of course, he's now back in school and we won't see him again for a while. Anyway, I've gotten some of it glued together. Compliments of LPCullen
  10. Didn't get much done on Day Two. Mostly I was getting Josh's advice and input on what I wanted to do, and trying to convert him into a miniaturist, LOL! I did get him to put some things together for me. And then I had to go back in and glue the things he put together, because he didn't, LOL! Compliments of LPCullen
  11. I like this house a lot! The porch on it reminds me of a Travis Tritt song though, and every time I see the picture on the box that song starts playing in my head. I think I want to modify it a bit from the box though. Still not quite sure what I want though. I may need to consult with my new son-in-law, the architect-to-be. Hmmmm..... I stained the floors red oak, which I'm starting to like a lot. I use Minwax stains. I use the oil based and not the water based. Although I like the water based ones for their lack of smell, I don't like the way that they penetrate the wood. I then began dry fitting the house together to see how it went, and OF COURSE Jimmy took over. He began gluing and taping, and I said honey, don't you think you should see how that second floor goes in before you glue that all up? He said no, it just lays on top. No it doesn't. It slides into the windows and the edges are part of the window sills. Now we gotta figure out a good way to put that second floor in ... should be fun! Compliments of LPCullen
