And I Did It Again!

I played for a bit in my basement studio last night and this afternoon. This time I used an oatmeal container cut in half. Charlotte Lyons was my inspiration. http://www.housewrenstudio.typepad.com/ Scroll down to find her lovely house. Mine is more elementary.

The door could use some work. I was just so thrilled to leave it hinged. Usually, I come unhinged, so anything I touch that doesn't just seems sort of special to me.

This one actually has an out house. In my old book stash I found a paperback remake of an old Sears Catalog. So, I covered a blank Scrabble tile with a bit of that and put it in there next to the potty. Then I was inspired to add a touch of wallpaper to the inside of the out house too. I find it charming. And look! It even has a step.

This time I added a black dog. I still miss Max, whose untimely death disturbed me greatly.

And it seemed like it needed the goose. There is no goose that I am missing.

I LOVE making these. And, I feel so much better when I am making something.

Soon, I shall have a village. Five seems like a nice size village. Two down, three to go!
