2012 Spring Fling Ye Old Shoemaker Shoppe Exterior


kellyannmo

I am sure everyone has heard the story of the "Shoemaker and the Elves," well this is my take on the story......

My vision on the story is a little shop on the edge of a forest surrounded by trees and wildlife... but .... still close enough to the village so he gets patrons. The Shoemaker's shop doubles as his home. Of course as the story goes, he is a poor Shoemaker, and struggles to make a living.... until the elves show up during the night spreading their magic and creating wonderful shoes for him to sell.....

Thankfully, those same little elves must have come and visited me as well :)

The entire exterior is paperclay stones and bricks. I "coppered" the roof, "dirtied" up the windows (the Shoemaker is obviously too busy making shoes to be concerned with window cleaning) and plopped the whole build in a slightly overgrown landscape.

I thought about enclosing the bottom half of my greenhouse addition...I like what you did, it turned out well. And I wish I had thought to do that with the farmstand addition...I couldn't think what to do with it...you did wonders with it.
