The Garfield Blog: River Rock Foundation

River Rock Foundation

While the front of the house features pretty lattice-work on the foundation, the back portion of the foundation is sadly bare. One inexpensive and fun solution is to hot-glue river stones on the foundation. A 99 cent bag of river stones from Hobby Lobby was enough to cover the bare portions of the foundation, with plenty to spare. It felt like working on a narrow jigsaw puzzle, trying to find the right stones to fit perfectly ...

I also have a blog on the garfield now as well and are recording my progress as you have. The riverstones look nice. I too wish we had a hobby lobby in New Zealand as so many people buy supplied from there that I can't find here at all. How are you going with your paper clay bricks?; August 19, 2011 at 4:58 PM
Sans! said...: I love the look but always thought using stones make the structure heavy. Then again, the dollhouse is already heavy so what's another few kg, right?; August 20, 2011 at 10:38 AM
Sumaiya Mehreen said...: The paper clay bricks are not progressing as fast as I would hope. There is a little one on the way, and I have been so tired...but my leave from work starts in a week, and I will embark on a mad rush to finish bricking the dollhouse before the November due date :)...wish me luck!; August 20, 2011 at 3:17 PM
