Vulture's Roost has grown a lawn...

I had this lawn mat that I had forgotten about, I think it looks much better than the moss.  I am also thinking about changing out the tree, I saw this one setting on the shelf of my studio, it will need to be grunged up a bit for my taste. You have to remember I am only using stuff I already have to finish the house. Any money spent will be for contents made by other miniature artists. This is my Recession House ~
I made a little stone walk way and edging for the lawn from egg carton, I am not finished painting on it yet ~
The Zombunnies don't seem to mind that the grass is artifical, but I don't think they eat grass anyway ~
The big so far view ~

I will be making a give away post tonight or tomorrow so stay tuned.

Victoria ❤

    Oh, it's coming along fabulously, Victoria. I love how you have done the stone walkway and edging and the lawn mat looks great (I don't think the zombunnies will mind it being artificial either) This has to be one of my favourite houses, simply stunning :0)

    Hmmm, Victoria...... I think that lawn needs some DEAD stuff in it! LOL! It looks so neat and tidy.... NOT a bad thing...... just maybe less spooky than the "Address" suggests! Actually, I LIKE the tidiness.... just maybe the color is too green? Don't listen to me...... you are creating a Really Amazing House.... Recession or Not!
    (Maybe a Creepy Ghoul trimming it with shears?);0

    Thank you Heidi. Yes I think there a lot of Recession doll houses being built.

    Thanks Lori ❤

    Thanks Ascension, I think the new grass looks better too :)

    Thank you Julia, I just don't have the speed like you and Hywel do :)

    Yes Betsy I agree. I almost didn't put it down because it looks so perfect, never fear I will think of something to spook it up. I think it looks way too tidy.

    It looks great, Victoria! Most of my projects are done with what I have on hand. The challenge makes it fun...sometimes frustrating but mostly fun. Love what you're doing with your "recession house." :)

    This is looking - if it is still possible ;) - better and better Victoria! I love the stone walkway and the trees.:D The lawn looks so green - maybe a bit of siena colour would be nice addition to it? Anyway I know you will find a great solution on this tidy green;D

    So fun to be reading on what you have been up to, V. I especially love it when you update on Vulture's Roost. Always full of surprises, creativity and humour. This house is obviously a labour of love and I love it! :)
