New Hobbit Holes 13

Delays caused by lots of little fiddly bits (chimneys, pottery, bee skeps, a fence and a gate, tables and benches, and a couple of doorsteps which appear in the next post. Much trial and error, mostly error.


Three different tube sizes for dormer windows.
Kitchen foil and grease proof paper ones seem about right.


One of the new holes is to house a seller of honey,
hence the bee skeps. 
They are made from thin silky thread
bound round a Greenstuff former.
Then a coat of Balor Brown washed with Agrax.
The other was to be a potter though not a very good one.
Then I realised he'd need a kiln
so the other hole will belong to someone else.


The bee skeps are now on small balsa benches
and two other benches are ready for the pots.
The fence is balsa though I'd prefer something more substantial.


It took me three goes to come up with a set of steps that I liked.
Coffee stirrers!


Top soil has been delivered.


For both.
The gate is an improvement. 
A substantial post allows for a garden wire 'hinge'.
The chimneys look OK with pots made of ball point pens.
The pots are perhaps a little large though.
I'm also not sure about the rows of clover.
