Little Boxes on the Hillside - literally :)
Ever had great fun taking part in a swap, and then got to the end of it, looked at all the lovely little pieces of art you have been sent, and then thought "now what do I do with all these??"
I did :)
So I made this.
It doesn't fit anywhere near all of my new houses on it, because as the swap hostess I am lucky enough to have a full set of 55. That is despite it being huge (my foot wasn't in there deliberately but I have left it in for scale). But I have set it up so that the houses are interchangeable (all stuck on with velcro) - so they will all see duty on the hillside at some point.
Before the velcro went on:
It's just a cheapo box canvas coloured with acrylic washes - took no time at all, but I really like how it looks with it's little town in place.
love your little house street and notice that you have kept one of my needle felted houses..glad you kept this one for yourself.
ReplyDeleteYour sea side hill is just perfect to show off those gorgeous houses ! What a fun and interactive art piece you have now !
