I've been Super Busy these last couple of weeks with my art show. It's going into it's 3 weekend--wow! that went fast--it takes months to get ready for these types of shows, and before you know it, it's almost over. I'll be sad to see this weekend come to an end--it's such a fun show, and it's been good to me--almost too good. I'm running out of art, and this is when I get a little nervous. So I've been making lots, and this week I got an idea. My husband had these pieces of wood in the garage, and asked if I wanted to use them, and of course I said yes, but I had him cut them into house shapes....
...and then I started to get my ideas...
.....and one idea always leads to another....

...a very fun way to use up those old wood pieces that you have (or even the new ones).
I'll be taking these with me this weekend--maybe they'll find their home, but it won't bother me if they don't--I like looking at them--they inspire me to make even more!
And this is such a fun and unique show--for instance--a sight in the field right across from my booth....
They inflate it each day of the festival at 5:00 sharp, and then someone gets to go for a ride--very fun!

Okay now that's a way to wrap up art fairs, with little art left! You are the Queen of great ideas and your little houses add to the list of fun, unique creations.
wonderful wonderful!!!
Oh wow Diane!! How very ingenious of you. My goodness, now you have me thinking and wanting to make little house too, little crooked houses would be fun. Nicely done, I applaud you. ::clap::clap:: :) Have a great rest of the week Diane and sell, sell, sell!
I love how your inspirations works, so creative of you! For some reason i think these would make gorgeous clocks too...wishing you a wonderful time at the show!
Ohhh, I just love those whimsy houses. So cute. I am thinking that they will find new homes this weekend !! Have fun! :)
I'll bet you sell everyone of those little houses! You know how they say some people wear their heart on their sleeve? Well dear thats where you wear your imagination! Hugs! deb
these are gorgeous little hourses, Diane, love them
I just love these little houses. I was wondering what paint you used. Is it acrylic?
I love what you've done with your little houses Diane! The owls are very precious indeed. Glad to hear you're having fun at the show, and that balloon is just the greatest idea.
It's no wonder why your art is selling out. It's so pretty and so fun and to top it off useful for hanging things too!
Love the houses! The one with the owls and rulers is my fave!
Adorable Houses. Safe Travels and Terrific Sales...
Love love the eyes on those hootie owls! Sounds like you are making money and having lots of fun at the same time - doesn't get any better that that!
Love your houses. What a great mixed media piece. Those owls are a HOOT!
Good luck with your show, yes all that work then it comes to an end really fast. Happy Fall,
Lesley
I'm really into houses, and these assemblages are truly adorable. I especially like the Coffee House, since I'm a huge coffee fan. I have some of that same lumber. I really, really must try something, although I can't draw, so I'll have to figure out a way to make something more my style. Thanks for the inspiration.
Went to the Yankee Peddler web site. Looks like a fun show. I can see why you do so well there. Your art is fabulous for this event. Good luck with this final weekend. At least you don't have to bring back too much product.
Hi Diane! Always love your beautiful artwork. I have some wood pieces cut up from a moving crate we had that I plan to paint, collage or whatever. I have to admit, when I'm ready I will be looking again at your work for inspiration!
I'm so glad to hear you are having a great show!! Not a bad reason to need to create more pieces...haha!
These houses are adorable! Love the hooks, too....makes them practical and beautiful at the same time :)
Hope they all find new homes this weekend!
These really caught my eye, so much so that I shared it on Google+ so hopefully lots of other people will see how beautiful they are.
Especially love the owls and the coffee house (and I hate coffee!) Maybe you could make a tea house next time!
So glad to hear you are having great success. Those wood houses are beautiful. Have a great weekend. Tammy
I adore your little houses!!!! I just bought some blank wooden houses off Etsy. You have totally inspired me, now I can't wait for them to come. Gorgeous!
Love the house shapes Diane - can see why you're eager to make more! Isn't it wonderful how something so simple can spark inspiration?
Love these houses. My husband's cousin is a carpenter and he stopped in the other day and guess what, he has extra pieces of wood perfect size for me to make some of these. Mine will not be as professional looking as yours, but I think my daughters will enjoy having one made by mom! Thanks for the inspiration, once again!
I tried to send you an email asking you to check out my blog with a house I made which was inspired by your houses....totally different then yours of course. So, thank you for the inspiration and to see what I made, feel free to go to by blog: www.craftyviolet.blogspot.com
Diane,
your houses are such little magic pieces, I love them all, but mostly the one with the butterfly- in rosa tones :-)
I`m sure they will very quickly run away from your booth.
Hugs,Dorthe
Oh Diane, your houses are fabulous creations. All your art works are inspiring every time!
Hugs Anja
