front of houses
back of houses
I've been participating in Kristin's Summer of Color blog meme making little houses in her suggested color palettes. These are my houses from the first three weeks. To answer a few questions, they are tiny (the one on the left is a standard size dice), which will give you an idea of the scale). They are made of wood, generally painted with acrylics. The base of the one on the right is covered in coral colored paper with a wood grain. You can read more about that house at this link. You can read about the house made out of the die here.
The color palette for week three is grey and lavender, with a pop of plum. I used grey and lavender paint and added plum die cut paper. I call this one "The House of Timeless Miracles." I added a grey star to the front and words on lavender paper on one side.
On the back, I added a clock and a grey circular window. I also put a version of 14 (for 2014) on the side. To see what other people are doing with the week three colors, click here. The meme is only half over, and it's not too late to join in. I'm sure having a good time with it!

Excellent Rinda. Love your little houses.

So cute. If you hadn't pointed out the dice, I would have imagined them to be about 4-5 inches tall. They are so tiny, I can't imagine how you make them. I do a lot of Artist Trading Cards (2.5"X3.5") and often need a magnifying light to help me.

These are so good! I love how you have used the theme of the dice to do the number 14 on this one.
Ah someone else doing houses - fab stuff
love how you are incorporating so much detail and symbolism on each tiny piece
Hi, super cute houses, didn't realise the were so tiny as my daughters have a couple of dice that are 3"x3" from when they were very small. lovey idea.
Just adorable, loving this weeks colours. BJ
Love seeing each new house.
This week's is my favorite!
I'm trying to find exactly the right word to describe these - if I say "cute" I somehow feel I'm underestimating their power. They are way more than that.
Very sweet little house, great to use the colours this way, bravo!
What a great idea. Love all of them.
So cute! I love your little houses so much, Rinda. And with three you have a mini-neighborhood now! :o)
It does look like you are having a great time with the Summer of Color. I had planned to participate but just haven't jumped in yet! Your houses are so cute!!
Those small houses are lovely. I'm sure they'll look good exhibited in the right place. Lovely.
It's such a good idea to have a theme for SOC. Love all three of these little houses, maybe my favourite so far is this latest one with the clock and the star and the number 14 in dice face.
they look cool x
Saw these on FB, they are so sweet :o)
so cute! Love your SOC neighborhood.
Oh Rinda! these are wonderful, what a fabulous idea. They will make such a cool and quirky collection :o)
Your little houses are so cool :-) I like the clock on this one, Strangely I like looking at clocks :-P
Another sweet little house!!
I just love your little houses and this one is no exception! So adorable, beautiful, and such a creative way to use the SOC colors!
Love the houses! And the purple one is definitely my favorite!
Love these tiny wee houses - I wonder who lives in them...faeries? Leprechauns? They are delightful.
I love looking at your little houses and what you've come up for each week. I'm glad I didn't miss this one in the backlog.
