Well,since I blogged anything last I finished a Canterbury and cracked the box of the Beacon Hill. I did another paperclay roof on the Canterbury and I had better success with this one, but square tiles are much easier than fishscale ones,like I did on the Orchid.

So,the Canterbury pictures are in my gallery,it turned out pretty cool.

Now for the B.H.....I dont have any real direction here,but I rarely do starting a new build. Gotta say,Im not excited about the looks of that siding,I was expecting a thicker wood. Now I know why some people use it as floorboards,I can see where it would be good for that. I usually cover stuff in paperclay,but dont see where that would really fit with this house,it doesnt lend itself to any sort of tudor~ish or natural materials look. Its all Victorian. I could see a haunted house,but Im not in the mood for that. I cant do normal,so I guess it will be a shabby chic,old abandoned house look.Ive done several of those. I'll probably end up using the siding and doing some age paint effects. Im a little cash short right now,so much of this project will have to be what I have on hand to use,I should be OK there.

Also I want to stick with a paperclay roof,but maybe a grey one. I just dont know if I want pastel shabby,white shabby or dark shabby....this house is at its best dark I think, its just so dramatic. Like an aging Hollywood moviestar from the 40s...."Im ready for my close up Mr. Deville...." lol...thats from Vanity Fair.hmmmmmmmmmm...................."It was a giant white elephant of a house"...Im doing that instant writing thing where you let your left brain take over and write whatever it wants...lol......the haunting of Hill house....where bricks met neatly,doors were sensibly closed and whatever walked there walked alone....or Salems lot....the Marsten house....could a house be evil,sort of a Beacon.....OMG...I better stop Im freaking myself out.....
