Pretty Pater Dolls

Just started, but happy.
Paper Doll's by Kate Davies. Or look here for everone else's versions.

The Hedge Shed

Top view.

One side will be for rubbish bins, the other for wood. We've planted a Boston Ivy to cover it, so it will end up looking like a hedge.

We love bling.

The Apple Arbour

Our favourite material for the minute... reinforcement steel bars. Twitched together, then covered with a smidge of chicken wire and ferro cement render.
Note the path. The bottom path has thyme planted around the pavers. All of the pavers were free cast-offs.

We added pigment render to the top. The reo will rust and the pigment will fade, together.

It doesn't look this fake rust colour in reality.

The tops of the reo here are covered first with polystyrene balls and then ferro cemented. I like them this colour, they look like garlic flowers before they shed their cowl.

My Christmas Shed (Ala The Bus Stop)

This is the shed at the top of the block. It's the best shed you could possibly ask for, especially with a ribbon and a card for My Christmas Present! Unbelievable.

The back part of the roof is glass, to enable Begonia's to flourish. We've since decided to put an old tank inside too, for sea-weed-juice manufacturing. I'll take a photo when it's done. You'll see it's perfect. The paint Ross made with cement oxides (pigment)t and lime and Bondcrete. Very cheap and has a gorgeous patina. Prettier than it looks here.

Inside view. Note the old safety hat. Begonia's. The brown pot on the shelf was cast concrete inside an old woven basket.

The thing hanging there is an old, dry Durian skin.

Dad's Wagga

Made from: army blanket, army trousers, Armstrong and Ross tartans (various types of each), Mum's old clothes, my old tartan kilts, etc.

You can't say he's not clever. I help but that's about it.
