France’s Christine Pecaut adds the most charming villages to hair barrettes.
The array of textures, foils, crackles, and canes that she lavishes on these small wonders tells us how exciting these miniature scenes are to her. Such whimsical detail.
Maybe she wasn’t thinking of our current circumstances but she reminds us of the beauty and importance of the places that shelter us. She’s here on Instagram and Etsy.
“Home is the memories we make on the inside. The outside is a symbol of those memories,” explains Nashville’s Lindsay Black (oddlyand company).
She specializes in polymer home portraits and she’ll even put up your decorations as she did here.
You can imagine why Lindsay limits her custom homes with their precise details to just a few. She’ll re-open her shop on Etsy in February for next year’s orders.
Minneapolis’ Chris Baird came to the rescue when I couldn’t locate Tuesday’s artist (Nathalie Sgard).
Of course, I looked at Chris’ Etsy page and found her on Facebook and was smitten by her little houses and villages made of scrap. They’re patched and pieced together in the most nostalgic and charming ways.
I’m away from home at Clayathon this weekend. It’s a big event with lots to inspire you. Join us at StudioMojo for a look over the shoulders of some of our most amazing polymer artists at work.
Happy Thanksgiving! Nashville’s Lindsay Black (oddlyandcompany) will finish this season’s orders before December 1. Isn’t that impressive?
Her custom home ornaments, small replicas of houses are highly sought after and she limited her production this year to have more family time. Give her a hand for making a plan and sticking to it.
If you’re like me, you’re telling yourself that you’ll make yourself one of these someday. I think we’d all be surprised at the skill and dexterity required. But it is tempting to try.
On a lazy Thanksgiving afternoon, take the tour through Lindsay’s houses on her Instagram.
Nashville’s Lindsay Black (oddlyandcompany) creates home portraits in polymer. “Home is the memories we make on the inside. The outside is a symbol of those memories,” she explains.
In her miniature versions, the grass is mowed, the flowers are blooming and all is right with the world which is a comforting thought.
You can walk through her tiny custom scenes on Instagram, Facebook, and Etsy.
Does this make you want to create your own real estate?
