It T'was The Day Before Christmas...A Mail Art Poem...

It t'was the day before Christmas,

And look what I see,

2 pieces of mail art,

On my doorstep-lucky me!

One from Katerina,

Christmas mail art in Blue,

And from Dean Marks, 

Official Erni Deco.

So thanks my mail art friends,

For sending such  treats on,

I wish you wonderful times,

During this holiday season!

A Garderobe Is A Medieval Toilet...

...but it can also be a closet, of sorts. Google it and you will probably find some pretty good images of what one looks like. Anyway, a few weeks back, when it was way too cold to work in the garage on doll house "one" (the Tudor), I had happened to be flipping through Brian Long's book "The Authentic Tudor And Stuart Dolls House", trying to get some inspiration.
It was there that I came across the garderobe. I decided it would be small enough to build on my work table in the warmth of my basement. I also had enough leftover bits of balsa wood/masonite board lying around and it could make a nice addition to the house. Plus, it was fairly easy to build. Yes! I could manage this.
So, I begin to build.

Some of the materials required.

 

Now, you won't be able to see ' inside' it as it's a bit of a 'fake' ; but, I do plan to put a door or a curtain, in front of the spot where it's located on the inside part of the room. That way, who ever is looking at it, will just have to use their imaginations as to what might be going on.
