Best Foot Forward by Lesley

Hey people. Lesley here with a little assemblage number for you.

As usual, i didn't really have a clue where i was going with this piece when i started out. But i did have houses in my head.

I glued the small cube together and gave it a coat of gesso and then a wash of grey paint. There was some printed tissue on my desk, so they got glued down with another wash of paint over the top.

I used the mini plaques in wood and greyboard to decorate the sides of the cube. And then added some texture balls (very messy!) A few little bits and bobs from my stash and some words were added.

The roof is actually a building block donated by my twins and painted. This was placed on top of some driftwood discs. I added a couple of eyes and a rusty spring.

The house looked a bit weeny, so i attached it to a vintage porcelain leg from an old doll. It wasn't too stable, so i mounted it onto a fancy atc.

Finally i added some dots using a white acrylic paint pen.

I can see more houses on legs being made........perhaps a whole street!

Thanks for reading.
