Whimsical faces, Garden art.
All of my faces average 10 1/2″ long by 5 1/2″ wide and weigh about 2 lbs. Each face is first carefully sculpted in clay until I achieve the desired expression. I then create a mold that allows me to reproduce the faces in various types of cement. The coloring is mixed in with cement. I finish the process by cleaning and then sealing the face.
Whimsical birdhouses designed to order.

The medieval houses (500 to 1500 AD) of the very rich were made out of brick, but because brick was very expensive, most chose to build the half-timbered houses that are now
Commonly referred to as Tudor houses. Blackened oak wood was used to make the framework and plaster was used to fill the spaces.
Roofs were thatched or tiled and some houses now had glass windows and chimneys.
Houses had two or more floors and servants slept in the upper rooms.
Most houses had stables where their horses were kept.
Those who lived in the country grew their own fruit and vegetables and kept animals for meat and dairy produce. Rich merchants that lived in towns would have purchased food from the local marketplace.
Whimsical houses come in a range of different designs and sizes.
I create these houses designed on historical records of medieval houses. They are finished with sealed and painted plywood and mahogany, The stained glass windows are antique, and the roof and siding with the aid of fiberglass resin will allow these houses to endure harsh weather for years to come. These are not just houses for our feathered friends, but are designed to be lasting pieces of garden art that will impress your friends for many years to come.
