because I have been enjoying having time to myself at my desk!! The house isn't really falling down around me, but it might pretty soon if I don't start getting a couple of chores done around here!!
This week's prompt from Journal 52, is 'Somewhere, a Simple Place.' Here is my dream, a simple treehouse in the trees. Long before the show Treehouse Masters, I have wanted to live in or have a real grown-up treehouse! I had a great one when I was a kid, with a window and a sandbox underneath. And I have even created a treehouse picture before because I love them so much. (but that project is long gone.) Someday, maybe I will find this simple place in the trees!
And I took a few pics along the way . . .
When I ran out of my favorite gel medium getting the background down . . .
Mixing the paint with glazing medium to make it more transparent . . .
Painting the background . . .
Wetting the cardboard so that I can pull off the top layer! (Thank you Becky G. for showing me this!)
Planning the pic and the size of the paper piecing . . .
The real pieces ...
The finished project . . .
The quote, "It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all." - Laura Ingalls Wilder
My favorite, when we are old and gray and widowed...we can live in a tree house and call it "club 31"!
