WOE'S TAVERN










This little building was inspired by the Simpson's TV show and seemed a natural subject to continue my little footprint buildings.  It fits in a 5" x 7" frame and is scaled to match HO model trains.  I have 24 kits of this building I'd like to offer for sale.  They're waiting for instruction sheets to be made. It's all laser cut card, papers, acetate, except for the water meter and smoke stack on the roof.

Just Ride The Waves

 










Some of this year's ornaments.  A state of mind to go with this year.  An anonymous surfer quote etched on the base as a mindset for dealing with the virus and other challenges in life.  So much is beyond our control, so we have to go along for the ride and anticipate the next one.    These are cast resin, set into laser cut Poplar wood bases.  There are LED lights in the base, activated by pressing on the bottom.  Most are bound for collections.  A few are still available.
