Gorgeous, gorgeous. I am doing a 1/12th sort of like this next summer and may do a 1/48th this winter so yes, inspiring, set many ideas rattling round my head. Thank you.
Wherever there are hurricanes, you'll find homes raised --sometimes required by local building codes. A building can be a generic beach cottage, or with touches like stilts, it could be made specific to a particular place. Along with the deck, this makes for an impressively accurate miniature. Congratulations!
Inspired by the Duth baby houses of the 18th Century. 1:144 scale rooms by Nell Corkin; 1:12 scale cabinet by Gilbert Mena. This piece is sold; a similar pierce can be ordered.
The Tower House
A small English castle of the late 15th century, with later additions.To see this original design from concept to completion, go to the January and February 2009 archives.This one of a kind piece is now in a private collection
Sunday Painter
A forest cottage made from a real walnut. The painting in the foreground is an original watercolor. This piece has been sold, but I bring new walnut cottages to every show.
oooo I like it, it's very inspiring :)
ReplyDeleteOh, it is so adorable! I love it! <3
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love it. (Are the stilts an East Coast thing? I've lived in California all my life and have NEVER seen a beach house raised like that...)
ReplyDeleteThe stilts are to help prevent damage from high water. Some beach houses have them - after Sandy, it seems like a good idea.
