House of Memories

Time for another great challenge at Creative Artiste this month, as alway the mixed media/altered art theme is anything goes. 

This is my project I have made for you this month.  

An altered house

This is what I pulled out of my stash to to start my creating process.

I took out some of my metal belts that I have collected from thrift stores, thought they make a interesting roof on my house.  I also took an end of some wood I found in my husband's scrape pile to cut into the shape of my house.

Her are some other views of the house.

I  painted my house with gesso then painted it brown and green paint and then added crackle paint to give the house a vintage look. I added a belt piece for the peak, a wooden bird and a number  and a strip of melt drywall for interest.  I added layers of colours to give everything a vintage look. 

Side view

The roof was made of one of the belts.  I painted the belt with gesso and copper paint then added colours to give the roof an old vintage look. 

I added an old surveyor ruler to the side of the house.

Had lots of fun creating my vintage house.
