I listed two new houses to Etsy. I made the following one a few weeks ago, and for some reason I don’t remember, it was set aside. Yesterday, I was sorting my stock and realized it hadn’t been listed. So, I took care of that as well as listing a house I finished yesterday.
The colors are derived from the card that I used to make the base of the Putz.
My original pattern didn’t have chimneys, but I decided to add them and am glad I did. I love the way they finish off the look of this house.
The colors turned out well. I like this combination a lot. To compliment the grey, I brushed artificial snow on the bottle brush trees and sprinkled them with vintage silver glitter.
The second house I listed is a smaller-than-usual Putz house in a pretty light green color.
The Christmas card I used as a base is one of my favorites.
A tiny deer stands near the front door.
I used a post and board fence to reflect the one on the Christmas card.
I reduced the original pattern by 15% and I like the smaller scale a lot. I’m going to try some of my other patterns in this smaller scale.
These Putz houses have been listed to my Etsy shop. ChristmasNotebook.etsy.com
