Info Post

The third project in the mantle is a haunted house that a candle lights up.  I
am doing this in real time....warning...this project may come with a glitch or two.
In the original mantle in PB catalog, this little doozie priced out at $99.00.  It is
metal and is fairly large, about 21 inches tall.  Scale is important when putting
together compositions, so I went hunting.  Hobby Lobby has a suitable (at this
moment anyway) paper mache house for $5.99, the larger one on the right.




I spray painted the house with the black hammared metal paint.  Since this is
paper mache it would be foolish to put a candle in it, so I am using one of my
small battery operated candles.  I will be painting the inside of the house in a
yellow wash to help illuminate it.  This house is half the size of the PB house
and a tad bit plain.  I am not sure if it will be dwarfed in the space by the rest
of the composition.  Hold on with me here, I will need to experiment a little.
Any suggestions???
