LPCullen Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I'm trying to figure out pond or creek placement on my lil fairy house I'm working on. Can y'all look at these and tell me which idea you like best? This one shows the house centered on the back of the base and places just a small pond on the left-hand side of the house, where you see the pond drawn in black. This one shows the house centered on the back of the base and places a small pond on the right hand side of the house, and the pond would sort of disappear into the base. This one shows the house centered on the back of the base and places a small pond in the middle. This one shows the house centered on the back of the base and it would be more like a creek that disappears into the base, or a larger lake or pond. This one shows the house sitting off to one side of the base and a creek running through the property. There would be grass on both sides of the creek. This one shows the house sitting off to one side of the base and the creek or lake or pond would disappear into the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audra Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Instead of the right front corner, how about more of the left front corner and disappear into the base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I like option #5, house at side & creek running through property. That means you could have a little bridge. I like bridges. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I also vote for a bridge! Or a bench with option #1, only the pond 1/3 bigger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrchob Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I like option #5, house at side & creek running through property. That means you could have a little bridge. I like bridges. Me too! Could have both a bench and a bridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary11 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I like #5 as well. It will look really cute with a bridge and a bench. Some rocks here and there. Can't wait to see what you go with!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdlnpeabody Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I like the idea of a creek and a little bridge, but I wonder about the proximity to the house itself. If you can't put the house on a slightly larger base, could you do a combination of #5 and #6? Put the creek at the front edge, but turn it along the side, leaving a little spot of land for the bridge to connect to in the corner, and run the rest of the creek at the adjoining edge? Just an idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckMouse Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hmmm. I'm assuming this is the front of the house? How about putting the pond in the back of the house - then add a picnic table, a bush or two, maybe a fishing pole neglected on the side of the pond. And I agree with Jeremy - a slightly larger base would allow for more creativity with the pond. Or a stream / creek. Than a bridge would fit nicely.

havanaholly Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 #5 suggests something along the lines of a garden RR layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chellebelle Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I've done ponds and creeks in several of my dollhouses, and put them in where they best fit once I have the base figured out. Check out my gallery for some ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
