Two weeks ago I got a huge commission by a client to create 77 of my little village houses. You might remember them from this past holiday season and my winter banner:
My sweet client, Dee, has asked me to create 11 different themed villages (for holidays & seasons). This first village is "Summer" and she requested that they be painted with lime greens and hot pinks and the rest she left up to me...glitter, buttons, whimsy, whimsy and more whimsy. So...here they are all ready to be shipped out today and on their way to Texas. My goal is to complete one village every two weeks, and I will share them with you as I complete them. They are so much fun to make!
so adorable! congrats on the nice comission, what a fun way to make some bank!

These are sooo adorable! I wonder what they'll be used for! Too bad you won't be able to take a picture of all 77 together, that should be a nice little site to see! :D

Those are great. I think the watermelon one is my favorite. It would be fun to see where and how she is going to display them.

These are wonderful! What a fun idea, can't wait to see the rest of the villages : ) I think my fave of this group is the cabana--is it 3-d? Very cute!

I LOVVVVEEEE the Cabana one! Reminds me of the beach. Miss you! Let's do lunch soon. Do I need to make an appt at the small village mayor's office? :)

awwww, you guys, thank you! I can't tell you how lovely it is to get these accolades in my inbox! I have asked my client to send me photos of the village when she has it set up.
Yes, Jen, the cabana one has an awning that I made out of heavy canvas paper.
Already working on the next village...a "cupcake village"...sweet shops, etc...photos soon!
