      THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I really appreciate your detailed feedback! I have never been a fan of music my videos. I have never used it because it's distracting to me. I also try to only speed up parts like me "squeezing glue out or something" LOLOLOLOL! I'm glad my "Music-less videos" are OKAY with YOU!!!! Thanks Again for your AWESOME FEEDBACK!

    I just found a great little dollhouse that I will renovate, and it has egg carton stones, so this is so timely! The chimney needs work, and the foundation, but one thing I won't do anything to other than cleaning, is the hand painted wall surface! So much better than wallpaper! It is a Tudor cottage with a thatched roof made from faux fur! I am so pumped to do this!

    Hi Gretchen; came across your channel about 2 months ago I ♡ "Trust the process" your awesome ! I liked and subscribed to your channel before I finished watching your first tutorial. I hope you respond to comments. Mostly because I'm trying desperately to accomplish/finish my miniature dollhouse. You see I recently was involved in an accident which unfortunately involved a laser/led light and it burned my retina. In turn it left me blind in my left eye and I have limited vision in my right eye. It's a matter of time 2years max b4 I'm unable to see at all. My bucket list b4 this happens is completing my dollhouse so my home made for the most part miniatures have a permanent place to call home. I correspond with a speech to text recorder and hope my words don't get auto corrected (as they have) and I'm unaware . With that being said I am so impressed with your tutorials but this has got to be one of my faves. I love the cobblestone look and how easy it looks. Your links bring me to Amazon USA for products and im in Canada. Could you please tell me the actual name of the compound/filler/grout fill your using once carton pieces are glued down painted, and coated. I thought it was a plastic wood of sorts but I keep getting taken to a spackle with a pink lid. I do if not mistaken recall you saying this product you used for the grout was one of your "Go to" choices. I'm trusting in the process Gretchen 😊 Please in a reply to my comment I'd be ever so grateful if you could just write out the name of what it is you used to make these cobblestones come to life and look so darn beautiful. I have the modge podge, I have the gorilla glue I just need to know what the fillers name is then I can get it on Amazon Canada. Im told that compounds, fillers and spackles are all for different uses as well your links are obviously for USA purchases and not bringing me to the correct places in the Canadian Amazon. I apologize in advance for any possible typos, i also look very forward to your reply. I've completly become a loyal & dedicated subscriber to your channel. I look everyday for new content. Keep safe, be well and keep em' coming. I am so hoping you can find time to respond to this comment. Tysm

I truly apologize for the delay in responding! it takes me a while to get thorough ALL the comments, in the midst of filming, editing and creating the stories! Rest assured i will always respond! If you ever need to ask a specific question like this just email me. I don't get as many emails, right now anyway! LOOLOL! So regarding the "grout' it's actually just "joint compound" which is used to patch dry wall. seams. I use DRYDEX brand Spackle, some of the formulas are pink when wet and then they dry white or grey. But i'm sure any brand would work. DRYDEX is the common brand at the home store near me.

    My brother in Sweden lives in a house built in 1720. I’m. making him a miniature to give him in June.

    I do enjoy your work, fantastic work. you have great ideas and techniques. Do you have any more stone work, far as tearing the shapes of the stones, how do you do this. I need some help on this matter. I'm making a scene with a long stone walk way.

      HI ALAN! My technique is very random seriously every which way. The only time I try to be neat is if I'm trying to make bricks( then I try to cut decently straight)😅.

      @recoveringsoul755 2 года назад

      I've seen people use hot glue to make stone fireplace, put blobs of glue down, then paint. But they'd look more smooth, like river stones, not this rougher texture.
