CARDBOARD AND CLAY HOUSE
This is one of my most favorite pieces, and it was so much fun to make. I used cardboard for the main structure, then paper mached over that, it does have a few wood pieces on the inside just for support. When the mache had dried I covered the house in joint compound which made it look like stucco, then I aged it with paint and stain. The bricks are made from earthen clay that I placed on my fireplace to dry.
All the windows have vellum in them with pictures of people glued to the vellum.
There is a night light attached in the back, and it makes the perfect little light with all the people looking out.
