Here I am again....scrambling with my basket in hand, hoping to make the
scribble picnic party this week
...and I made it just in the nick of time! CABIN is this week's theme and let me tell you just
how much it kicked my butt! There were many lessons learned throughout the entire process of this piece. At one point, everything in my 'cabin terrarium' seemed like one giant, green blob, leaving me feeling discouraged. Thankfully,
hubby came to my rescue, showing me how to create more depth by balancing out my colors more and so forth. It's a beautiful, finished piece, and I couldn't be happier! And I'm
really thrilled we make such a great team! (wink)

You did it, smoots! Just under the wire but here it is and it looks smashing! As i said on your instagram too..but well, ok, that is not the best descriptor to use here for a glass terrarium! Hahah. Anyway, I love all the little details and how ransacked the cabin's rood tiles are too. Such a clever and unique concept! Bravo! Love it. So glad too you let me be a part of the process here and there. Waht a team indeed. I hope you know how proud I am of you when you read this in the morning! This is my last piece to visit. So glad you joined in. Thank you so much again!!
ReplyDeleteIts a gorgeous project, it makes you want to step inside and feel the magic of the scene you created.

This is an adorable interpretation. Yes I am learning how important depth is to a piece this totally works thanks for sharing your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteGlad you snuck in under the wire dear because this is magnificent, so colorful and different.
ReplyDeleteAdore the washing on the clothes line and the twinkling string of lights. I remember when we all used to do tie backs on our curtains, now they are really only seen in a country setting along with ruffles and such! The greenery is so pretty and I love the sprigged yellow 'wallpaper' background.
Beautiful art Alex. . . . . and your team member needs to come assist me perhaps!!!!!

Adorable!! I'm so glad you persevered and got control of the green blog! All the lights and darks of the greens are awesome. It turned out wonderful :) And I love those twinkling little lights!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Glad I came back to find this. This is so fun and whimsical with such great colors. I bet it would be very inviting for a fairy to take up residence there.
ReplyDeleteThis is so charming, really a beautiful piece. I love all the details and how friendly it is.
ReplyDeleteSome pieces are like that..... we have to keep on going until it feels good to us. So nice that you got just the right sort of help.
Looking at this makes me smile and smile.
So sweet and precious, just like you. I would join you in that daring cabin for a cup of tea. Back from Oregon and trying to catch up.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out absolutely lovely. Green is a difficult color for me too. I love how you worked it out. Beautiful. I love the terrarium look as well.
ReplyDeleteWow, so many details, no wonder you barely finished up in time to post! I am curious about the jar (?) just outside the door. And I half expect to see a little elf come bursting out of that door at any time.
ReplyDeletethis makes me think of christmas, the lights, the flowers and mushrooms, the yellow curtains, very cheerful. what a great last minute piece,
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day.
very clever and pretty idea :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever interpretation of the theme, Alexandra! It turned out amazing — I love it! You and Michael make a great team, for sure.
ReplyDeleteSuch a brilliant idea, a cabin terrarium. It looks so inviting and magical that I could just see myself living there especially under those twinkling lights. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo beautifully done..a truly magical world!

Oh this is so beautiful, amazing, gorgeous, charming and adorable! I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteOh that's beautiful, I love it! I think it is one of my favorite pieces of yours.
ReplyDeleteAlex,
ReplyDeleteI thought I had replied here but must have been on Instagram or somewhere in la la Land. Such a delightful picture and the cabin is very exciting - want to see inside.
