Plaster Houses

Welcome Home - Plaster House Assemblage

While doing the Hand-Formed Sculpture class with the inimitable Miss Stephanie I made a ton of samples — mini houses and cast ornaments, hearts, stars and a few shriney-type things. As time has gone forward I've been incorporating some of those starter pieces into finished assemblages. Or shrines. Or maybe, shriney-type assemblage thingees.

Finished...Sacred Mouse House

Sacred Mouse House Assemblage

Sacred Mouse House 18" or so high (I really need to get measurements BEFORE I post. eesh) and with arms, probably 8" wide and only about 4" deep.The head is made of plaster over a foam base.
The house was made by me out of cedar shingles, maple veneer "siding", mica windows.
Animal ribs for arms. Wire for hands and feet.
Hard to get shots of the house interior but 'head', 'body' and heart are visible through the 3 windows.
Door wired closed.
