Whimsical
houses Wall hanging
As you will probably see in the future, I am a very big fan of wee houses. I have them all over my house, every room, all decorated with various themes and techniques. I have also joined in Tando’s 12 houses of Christmas, a year long project. You can find these on the Tando FB page and You tube. So when i saw the whimsical house kit i knew it was perfect for my product focus project this week.
Materials
Grey
board sheet cut to 8” x 8”
Journal pens
Posca Pens
Woodware whimsical stamps with clouds and rainbows
Rubber dance floral stamps
Strong glue
Rusty vintage wire
Thin wooden stick/branch
Patterned paper or Gel print papers
Instructions
First I cut a piece of greyboard to
measure 8” x 8”. I then took a mix of patterned paper and gelli printed paper
and created a “scene” of sky and land with rolling hills etc. I took the Tando Moroccan
stencil and painted over the top blue bit to make “clouds”. I also added some actual
clouds and rainbows using stamps and hand painted the colours in. I cut out a
sun from scrap yellow paper and added that the background. I added some
stamping and doodling around the sun. To finish I added runny paint drips,
doodling and some boarder stamps.
Next, I started on the wee houses. I glued the main body of
the houses onto some book pages I painted white and the roofs onto some black
paper. Once dry, I sanded down all the edges and distressed them.
Once all the houses where dry I began adding them to the background canvas.
I could only fit on four of the houses, so I punched holes in them, added some rusty wire and hung them from the bottom of the canvas.
At the same time, I punched holes in the top and made a hanger from a piece of stick and more rusty wire.
I hope I have inspired you to have a go at your own whimsical
houses.
Thanks for looking
