Today's house is a transatlantic collaboration piece done with Kirin of Illustrating Rain. The inspiration for the finished piece was the name of Kirin's site.
Here is how we collaborated separated by nearly 4,000 miles: I sent to Kirin a PDF template for a house, which, in turn, Kirin returned by email beautifully illustrated. I printed and assembled the house, glued it into an upcycled plastic cube, glued separated gold thread around the top so that it would look like rain (That inspiration came from the French expression il pleut des cordes or Les cordes de pluie, which translate as it's raining cords and cords of rain.), and photographed it in my backyard.
It was a treat for me to work with such a talented and whimsical illustrator. Thanks, Kirin! Please visit Kirin's 365 project site, In Animate Me for more terrific work.
I love this collaboration! Beautiful job, ladies <3

ReplyDeletemaybe you all are thinking it but a sense of decorum prevents you from speaking it. So I will simply say that this house is full of golden moments make sure you see it next time you're in town. ♥
