Other Specifics
Photos
At least four photographs of the building are needed to complete your 'My House In The Village'
piece-- one each from the front, back and sides-- but the more photos, the more helpful it is to the
artist. If there are special elements you would like highlighted, please include close-up photos of
these details.
It is always helpful to include a brief description of the colors used since photograph color can
vary. Paint chip cards are welcome and encouraged.
Composition
Each 'My House In The Village' piece is individually sculpted from resilient baked clays and painted
with durable baked porcelain paints. Since each piece is sculpted from clay rather than poured
ceramic, the pieces are heavier in weight compared to commercial collector village pieces.
Size
The size of each 'My House In The Village' piece varies according to the type of building it
replicates. For example, a potting shed will be much smaller in scale than a Victorian era mansion.
A typical two-story home will average approximately six inches by eight inches.
Lighting
A light bulb size opening is sculpted into the bottom of each 'My House In The Village' piece.
Thus they can be lit to blend in with your lighted village or stand beautifully alone as a lighted
house art piece. Corded 4-watt light bulbs are available in lighting stores year round and in most
department stores during the Christmas season. Corded light bulbs are not included with your 'My
House In The Village' piece.

| Please Note: It is important to understand that while each piece will resemble your home as closely as possible, the finished product will not be an exact architectural duplication. 'My House In The Village' pieces follow the spirit of other collectible village lines such as Department 56 and are artistic interpretations of architecture. The medium of clay does not allow for precise angles and details. That is why most potters create simple forms such as vases and pots. Large companies that produce commercial ceramic houses employ artists that spend hundreds and hundreds of hours sculpting a single piece that can then be used as the template for a mold that will make thousands and thousands and thousands of duplicate pieces. 'My House In The Village' is not a mass produced line of pottery. Each piece is an original created by hand just for you. |
