How creative! I guess you can make them to match any house..
They are like Gnome homes..How do you do that? Is that the exact shape of the rock or do you add to it!
They are terrific.

The roof line and chimney are wood filler......the rest is just the shape of the rock....that's why rock hunting is so much fun. You have to use your imagination. For my son's BD I made him Hobbit Houses.. low, green turf roofs & round red doors. Monique, I've seen what you do on wood...imagine what you could do on rocks....

Your rock homes are amazing. Now this is something I have to try. I love adding interesting and unusual things to my gardens and these homes would be perfect.

Boni: They are marvelous and imaginative! This sparked my interest and I'm pretty picky about crafts and "cute" things.

No, Karalyn, it's product you can buy at HD, for example. One of the products is this...

Those are so cute, such creative talent.
I know when you have something so cool to do it's hard to make just a couple.
