It is the 1st of July and time for another altered/mixed media challenge at Altered Eclectics.
This week I decided to alter some houses. I cut a couple of blocks from my hubby's wood scraps. I had a problem cutting out the windows and doors so my hubby ended up finishing them for me.
I painted the blocks with Gesso then decoupaged the houses with some designer papers by Studio Calico. I used several different patterns from the pack and then added a wash of colour over the paper, using a different colour on each house. I added different roofs to each house, burlap, game pieces and metal belt findings. Next I added some finding and numbers to the homes to make them unique. The add ons include numbers, fence, crown, key, stamps, gears, and a bird.
Here are some closer looks
