Making a DIY mole house

I've always liked the idea of an underground house for the mole family but I really can't afford an official one at this time! Also, making a mole house has been in my mind for some time now so I took the decision to build one! There are some instructions in a issue of the sylvanian magazine but it didn't really appeal to me! I decided I want something to have both the inside of a mole house but also a front side with a yard and door that I could use for photos! I searched online an I found many beautiful pictures of fairy and hobbit underground houses so I made a draft drawing of what I want. It is supposed to be under a hill but it also has a nice front yard, window and front door!
I started two days ago,I decided it would be fun if I share the procedure with all you in the forum, however long it takes to finish it!



 Sorry I didn't take more detailed pics of the procedure so far but I will try to explain what i did. I used air drying clay to make the front of the house! I made a thin layer ( I actually rolled a bottle on the clay to make it thin enough). I cut the door and window on paper first and then used them as guides to cut on the clay.

Trick or treat!

Haha LL, now you have inspired me for another photo with mushroom baby! Seems like it will really need your hug and affection, because it's getting dark and it is left alone in the scary woods

 Well, the rest of the story goes like this...
... Suddenly three scary figures appear behind the bushes, a mummy, a ghost and a witch! Poor mushy is about to scream and cry... But just then... the figures approach and... reveal their faces! They are the Mulberry kids all dressed up, returning from their Halloween party! What a relief! They help little mushroom to find its way back home safely and... that's how this story ends!
