Housing Project 255-257

Making a house everyday for a year.

 #255- Mother goose had a house. These are all based on nursery rhymes

 #256- Fly away home

"Ladybug! Ladybug!

Fly away home.

Your house is on fire

And your children all gone.

All except one,

And that's little Ann,

For she has crept under

The frying pan."

#257- Turtle dove house

"High in the pine tree,

The little turtledove

Made a little nursery

To please her little love.

"Coo," said the turtledove,

"Coo," said she;

In the long, shady branches

Of the dark pine tree."

I fell behind a bit this week and only have three *shame*, but I will catch up soon.

I am going to take the position that I put enough effort into the first 5 that it excuses the total lack of it in the last 2.

#254- I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS house

Housing Project 241-247

#241- Jungle house

I happened upon this book at the library, Fantastic Architecture: Personal and Eccentric Visions, and have been taking inspiration from it this week. This first house is from a picture of Las Pozas, a surrealist palace built by a guy named Edward James. I want to go there.

#242- Gargoyle house

#243- Calamity tower house

#244- Fun house

#245- Temple house
