House No. 169: Grey Tree House

House No. 169: Grey Tree House
collage, pencil, and ink on matboard
7 in. x 6 in.
169/365; 06/18/11

Today’s house is an homage to Misha at 365 Trees. (What up, Misha? Shout out to a fellow 365er!) I have made a couple other tree houses already, and I am certain this is not my last of the year.

I started with a photo of a tree that I had clipped aeons ago and glued it to yet another piece of scavenged stock. (Again saved from my classroom’s trash.) This one was a thick piece of mat board with a lovely creamy texture. There is some vellum collaged on there as well. There are a few types of graphite and inks on the surface.

House No. 33: Groundhog House

House No. 33: Groundhog House
ink on paper
11 in. x 8.5 in.
033/365; 02/02/11, Groundhog Day

We take this break from our regularly scheduled alphabet houses to wish you and yours a happy Groundhog Day. And, as I do every year, I wish that Puxatawney Phil would bite the guys in the top hats. Poor little rudely-awoken bugger.
