House No. 107: Foil House

It’s not apparent in this photo, but this house is very thick and sturdy and has a bit of dimension. It's quite satisfying, really. Once again, the metallic scrap is from my bottomless magpie nest, and everything but the glue is upcycled.
I pulled out the colors that I used on this house because when I saw them next to one another they looked very seventies color palette. I thought I would have a go. I especially like the maroon foil and thought it would make lovely shutters.

Some more shiny paper and other scraps fished from my magpie nest were the materials for this simplified colonial style house. I often like to do very detailed work, but I also like to occasionally break a houses down to its barest elements, an icon or symbol for “house.” And today, I also broke down “tree.” Or green lollipop. It can go either way.

House No. 101: Silver House

I dove back into my magpie collection and fished out most of the silver foiled paper to make today's house. It took forever to dry because the foiled paper is largely not porous and did not let air get to the adhesive.
I like the contrast of the painted matte paper against the shiny silver and the movement created by all the scraps and angles of cut paper. This house felt like play.
