Christmas Notebook

I pulled out some of my Putz houses I made a few years ago. They need bases and embellishments. As you can see, I like the vintage style. Simple design and a smaller size than many being made currently. The larger ones are beautiful, too, and I hope to make some one day, but I do love the small ones.

This green gabled house is the one I decided to work on next.

This can give you an idea of how large it is. The house, with roof overhang, is five inches wide and an inch deep with a roof width of one and a half inches. It’s three inches tall. You can also see how bowed the front is. That will be an easy fix when I glue it down to the base.

The back…

Inside construction…

Now I’m going to experiment with printing on acetate for the windows. The yellow cellophane I have isn’t quite the right color. I’m going to try printing some. Will let you know how that turns out.
