WINTER HOUSE

Carrying on with the snowy theme, here is my Winter House.  I picked up a wooden house, which was all in pieces, at a junk shop and used the gable end with windows for this mixed media work.  The wording says, 'baby it's cold outside' and 'I really can't stay.'  Often when I am working on a piece lyrics of a song come to me.  There are shadowy figures behind the windows.  The first layer is text and then lace and net with paint.  Other bits and pieces, including, a watch face, buttons, a ceramic number, a tree made from model magic and punched out shapes have been added. When the Spring comes I will do one for that season and then Summer and Autumn until I have a complete set!
