At last the etched metal house is complete.The walls are attached and steady and the roof is on...all windows and doors open Ok.My etched metal house is 11cm high and 6cm at its widest.This is the first time I have made something personal to give away so I am hoping it goes to someone who will treasure it.If anyone would like to try to win the etched metal house all you need to do is leave a comment and your first name so I know who you are.If you don't have a blogger account then just send me an e-mail instead(its at the right hand side from here).After two weeks I'll randomly draw out the winner. Oh If you want to see the detail more of each side look at the posts below this one Ok.They also explain a few items that I have used as well.
Front door above and door open from the side below
Same side with door closed.Optical lens is folded under the window here but if you haven't seen what is under the windows look in the posts below this one
Other side window is next
Lastly is the back door
and with its door open
How exciting and I look forward to seeing who wins the house that Annette built LOL
hugs

Just look at all of the imagination you have managed to include in this house. Lots of thought, love, memories, not to mention talent. I have enjoyed watching this come to fruition and have my fingers crossed that it will find its way to Texas!

Wow this would be quite the win Annette! I would cherish it forever! Reminds me a little of a Micheal Demingo! How do you spell his name?? Love his art too though. One day I am going to make some myself. I love sculpture. When my kids are bigger I will weld again! Would love to do metal jewellry too. This would be an awesome thing to swap on don't cha think? Wonder how many sculptors we might have in the group? Hugs, Sanna

ReplyDeleteAre you crazy?!?!?!? You are giving this beautiful house away on your blog? When I first started to read the post I thought you made this for a close friend - the details on your house are stunning and I love all the texture in the metal, the ephemera and that everything opens! If this beauty made it to my house I would definitely treasure it!
ReplyDeleteOMG Annette
ReplyDeleteIt is stunning. You really should get it published. But if you are giving it away I would love to find a special place for it in my home. You could come and visit it any time you like.
Martina
You did a terrific job putting it together without soldering! Fabulous... would love to give it a good home.

ReplyDeleteHi Annette,
ReplyDeleteYou have created a gorgeous piece of art here, thanks so much for offering it up as a gift, which I would of course love to win.
I did this class in Sydney with Jenny just a couple of weeks after you did it at Evvie's.
Thanks Again,
Rob
WOW Annette. Your house is just amazing! What a fantastic treasure you have created. It has been fun to watch it develop. I can't believe you would give it away. It is too precious.
ReplyDeleteYou put all that effort in just to give it away randomly?! The house is truely amazing, I've enjoyed watching it come together.
ReplyDeleteHi Annette - I have to agree with everyone else - such an amazing give-away after all that effort and love went into making it!! I think you can be very sure that whoever "wins" this will be finding a very special spot for such a treasure - I know I will if it is me!! Absoltely stunning.

Oh Annette!!! This is just too gorgeous and would certainly take pride of place amongst my collection of opa's (other people's art)!!! lol
ReplyDeleteConsidering how much I love etching, but don't think I'll ever get around to doing it, having an etched "anything" from other people would be fabulous. I'm fortunate enough to have a few of Jen Crossley's pieces...lucky me huh!
How lucky I would be! That is one beautiful house! Thanks for sharing such a treasure. Stacey
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fantastic !
