Please Note: It is important to understand that while each house replica pottery piece will resemble
your home as closely as possible, the finished product will not be an exact architectural duplication.
'My House In The Village' replica houses follow the spirit of other collectible village lines such as
Department 56 and Lemax 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 of hours sculpting a single piece that can then be used as the
template for a mold that will make thousands of duplicate pieces. Also because 'My House' replicas
are completely hand crafted, there will be small tooling marks and other texture differences that
demonstrate the method of hand work. 'My House In The Village' is not a mass produced line of
pottery. Each house replica is an original created by hand just for you.

Other Specifics
Photos
At least four photographs of the building are needed to complete your personalized 'My House
In The Village' house replica-- 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 from your house are welcome and encouraged.
Composition
Each 'My House In The Village' house replica is individually sculpted from resilient commercial
grade polymer clays and painted with durable porcelain and acrylic paints. Since each house
replica 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' house replica 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 replica house will average approximately six inches by seven
inches.
Lighting
A light bulb size opening is sculpted into the bottom of each 'My House In The Village' house
replica. Thus they can be lit to blend in with your lighted village or stand beautifully alone as a
lighted art piece. Corded 4-watt light bulbs are available in lighting stores year round and in
most department stores during the holiday season. Corded light bulbs are not included with your
'My House In The Village' house replica.
