This little house has gone through several changes. First it had a roof made from Mahogany seed pods. But it seemed too small so I cut it off and replaced it twice.
The walls are made from rocks stacked and mudded with concrete patch. The base is 3/4″ oak, mounted on a lazy Susan.
The door and window are a slab cut from a pine log that was hollow in the center.
I installed five LED lights: Most behind the front door give a warm glow and one in the attic for a peculiar shadow effect.
The foundation to this house is an inverted 10″ plastic pot.
The original front door was Melaleuca bark. I carved three different windows but it ended up looking like a jail door.
Window panes didn’t look welcoming.
Fun making shutters with knobs of clove but it looks like it’s braced for a storm.
The first roof on the right was too small. This roof was too bowl-shaped. I took it off and reframed it.
Oak branches bound with raffia, sitting on a food storage top, bolted down. The roof is now removable to give access to the light control.
Lights on.
The front door and windows are cut from the same old pine log. Even though it is about 1/2″ thick it is translucent to allow some of the light through.
Bark welcome mat.
The three jeweled pieces are made by my wife: The most attractive part of this house, and my life.
Two-part epoxy holds these glass beads onto the plexiglass window.
More vines.
Done.
