My first completed project

In 2006, after several years of looking at stacks of unfinished projects, I decided to do something about it. My first completed project was a seamstress shop with an upstairs workroom. I added a porch and foundation to the Real Good Toys wall hanging house kit. The bricks were made from basswood brick strips I purchased from Earth and Tree.  I used several shades of acrylic paints to achieve the brick look that I wanted. The round ornaments on the trim were made from Sculpey that was pressed with part of a snap from clothing to give them a round, multi-leveled appearance. Most of the items were either kit bashed or made from scratch.
