Orange Glitter Houses

Hello friends!  Hope you have been doing well this week.  I have a few works in progress to share. And I seem to have had a thing for orange lately. I hadn't really thought about it until I was putting this post together. Typically, I don't use a lot of orange - but it has certainly appeared in my studio this week.

First up is this Halloween project that is currently on my work table. (Pictured above.)  A wonky house (pattern by Howard Lamey) and a worn out fence.  I deconstructed and altered a pristine white picket fence to make it look run down and weathered.  I painted the house bright orange then dry brushed with some black paint to give it an old and dirty appearance.  The roof is hard to see from this angle but it is a dark green. So far the base has a few layers of paint with more to go. The house is not finished yet either - there is more to add to the roof. This is the first house I have done that will not have any glitter on it - unless I change my mind and add just a touch somewhere!

I also have this house in the works..This is new pattern I designed, inspired by other houses with towers I have seen.  The paint color is "melon pink" but it's a orange-y pink.  I like how it looks with the with slate gray trim.  The tower will have a bit of gray trim near the top and this one will get a frosting of glitter.  :)

And in keeping with the orange theme here's a finished lime green house with melon trim and a happy snowman peeking over the fence. This one's probably headed for the shop or the craft sale in a few days. 

Thanks for reading!  I hope you're having a creative week.  I'd love to see what you have been up to.
