The goal was for me to be finished today - at the latest. I've been stumped, confused, frustrated, boggled, puzzled and only changed my mind a half dozen times in the process and can honestly say I've had a Wonderful time building this house! :angry: It's not quite done yet. Actually if I made a list of what has to be done it would seem I'm still only about half there but I think in actuality I'm nearly to the end. I've finally made all the final decisions, my last minute changes are in progress and I think the rest will come together fairly quickly.. I swear for me half the time in building is trying to figure out what I'm doing LOL :huh: So here's the newest changes to the Orchid

The new paperclay on the front :

Once I get the windows in the door installed and the roof on it will be time finally attach the entryway which I'm planning to do as the last thing with the Orchid's exterior. Next here is the new windows for the openings I made in the ends of the house. I still cannot find the gallery glass.. but because I really don't want to mess these windows up I'm thinking tha I may finish the house with them as clear glass and use the gallery glass on them later - it's the one thing I'm really disappointed in, but I hated to spend another $15 on paint that I already have - somewhere So here's the window - got 2 made - one more to go :lol:

And now for the inside which I've been staring at - even with the arches that I dry fit last time I was still not really enthused about how it was turning out. Now I've got the shrine area in. I still need to put up a shelf and I've got a few more smaller arches going in around the back of the windows - Now it's starting to look my vision :lol: The figures on the top probably won't stay there.. but it looks like it needs somethign up on that ledge... but what?

David -

You did a great job with the paper clay .... very expert.

You're right about the 2 small figures in the alcove. If you want to have them there, I think you'd need to construct a shelf above the existing shelf. But then, you'd need something to go on the lower (original shelf)....not much help...I know.

Your Orchid is looking fabulous.
