Artist's Boathouse

Artist's Boathouse

This is my Spring Fling '10 entry. It is a fantasy dream house where an artist lives on a beautiful lake and rows to wherever she needs to go. It is meant to be a place full of happiness! She has a place for her boat, a kitchen, studio, veranda, bedroom and rooftop lookout. A dock welcomes visitors. I used Paperclay to create all of the brick, stucco, tile work, and wall treatments. As you can see, I added on to the original kit as well. Most of the items in the house I either built, painted and/or altered in some way to keep within the overall feel of the piece. The decorative designs on my house are meant to reflect the beauty of the sun, water and life itself as seen in the suns around the windows and door frame, the fish and wave graphics, the tree of life motifs and the meandering vines. The water was created by painting on paperclay covered styrofoam and then adding self- leveling gloss gel medium and spreading it to look like water. Look closely, you may find something familiar from last year's fling! I hope my house brings a smile to your face.
