We have been collecting (Oh, tell me it's not "hoarding")
these vintage wooden rules (or, if you insist: rulers) for years.
A hammer and wood chisel easily pops them apart...
but boy-oh-boy does it do a number on the chisel tip!
The vintage lens that I found along the way... just "fits!"
His hat is heavy manila card stock that I photocopied
images onto, from a vintage German children's book
of monochrome illustrations and songs.
Then I (surprise factor) coffee-stained it!
I love his red wings...
I'm thinking of incorporating some coffee-stained and tattered
cotton canvas fabric strips along the front panels of the door,
some vintage slouch stockings... and I have to begin thinking
about finishing his head!
Wishing you a restful weekend... Daryle
Daryle your birdhouse shrine doll is a delight to behold. I love all the different details you've added to the birdhouse. I look forward to seeing the slouch stockings!
