Pothouse

Something I did when I was on a pot kick. I have a couple more, but I never finished the pumpkin house-- couldn't decide on a window treatment, but the roof kicks ass!

This one has a thatched roof, and I've been told it looks "ghetto" because of the plaster falling away and the bricks showing through, but I like it.

I just wish I'd taken a picture before I sealed it. Even though it's not a gloss finish, there's still a shine. Oh, well.

I need to finish the pumpkin one, though, before Halloween.

Also, I need to work on a few more, for selling. I tend to give my stuff away before I can sell it; not good for someone who reallyreallyreally wants to be self-employed.

Oh, yeah, I just remembered I have a teeny little Valentine one somewhere-- think I'll finish that one, too. And all the rest of the stuff I have going. I'm tellin' ya, I have to have too many things going at once, because I get bored after a couple of hours on one thing. And I start going blind, too, and the colors get all wonky. I work small, usually, and after a while all the colors start looking the same, no matter what media I'm working. Beads, paint, fabric, metal-- I just keep switching. Papier mach矇. Wood. Clay. Whatever.

I want to try welding, soon, as soon as I get all the weeds out of the backyard. No use learning if I end up setting the neighborhood on fire. And I'd just get yelled at. A lot. But it sure would be nice to know I could do it.
