I love the colors of your stonework! Very pretty!

I do, too and I love your trim with it!

The stones are wonderful- real? Very neat and detailed- love it!

Thanks, all. The stones are polymer clay. I took a couple of colors (i.e. a little brown and a lot of white) and rolled them together but left them with some variations, still. Then I pressed them out into thin sheets (maybe 6" by 12"), baked them and then broke them apart. By doing a bunch with different colors, I got a lot of variations in the stone colors which I thought turned out pretty. They were then glued on the walls and grouted with paintable caulk mixed with brown paint. Because of "raising the roof" I had to do something to hide the serious irregularities in the walls. I was going for a "Thomas Kinkade-ish" look.

That look so real. I wish I could work with the polymer clay. I can never get it soft enough and only made a dozen eggs about seven years ago. :lol: Your stone work is great.

Wow - I am going to use your technique on one of my houses. It looks so realistic.

Love your stonework :wub:
