RE: Beach Wednesday ~ McClük Goes On Holiday ~ Pre-Excerpted From: "McClük -- One Fowl P.I." ~ Original Photography and Original (Somewhat Long) Story ~
That was a fun read, in more ways than one.
How did you make the tiny beer cans? It makes me smile when I imagine you making them. You should consider selling them for use in the more realistic dolls' houses.
Howdy, glad you enjoyed the fowl read...I hope there will me more. (Like to have a dime for every time I've said THAT)
The beer cans were for this highbrow art project:
The Boys Playing Liar's Poker, Lubed With Some Heavy Imbibance
As for the all-important cans, they were pretty easy. Little dowel rods, with labels added and inked pop-tops. I need to paint them silver first, next time. But I was in a hurry to get them done for that project. "Why do anything early, that you can put off until almost too late", I always say's. Hmm, doll houses, might be onto something there. That and tiny hamster hay-bales. The sky's the limit...
I vote doll's house, as I have one set up in my studio and love all the little things. I even sometimes set up shots to use as inspiration for sketching out rooms. The good thing about being an artist is we can hold onto childhood trappings and play with dolls and no one questions it, now if I were an investment banker that might be a different discussion with clients. :)
Now, if you ever visit Toad Hall I'll make sure to plunge a large field of beetroot into the sand before your arrival so I can announce, "Welcome to beetroot beach!"
Our cat loves (actually loved, but that is a post I cannot yet make) our beach but the chickens never venture down there. Possibly they think the gulls and herons far to fancy for their countrified ways.
Hee hee. I look forward to a much-improved, or at least sized, Red Beet Beach. One day, I hope to make it to your corner of the world. And much fun would be had by all. We can dream, can't we? (As if anyone could stop either of us...)
So good we are artiste's, as I would no doubt be drummed out of the banking business. Or just about any other business as well. Maybe that is why I spent a good part of my life in the forested parts of the world. Maybe I can make you some beer cans for your house one day. Wouldn't that be fun...
Ha haa, very non-upscale chickens, compared to Puss. And unfortunately, if I read that correctly, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It took me a month to be able to write about the Stinkmeister. My heart goes out to you and W.A.
