Popsicle stick hiatus


Here is a random pic of Tweety I drew for my wonderful boss (she truly is a wonderful person). "FMS" stands for Fleming Middle School, which is my place of employment.

SS Viking




Okay...so here is my little viking ship. It's not exactly how I pictured it in my head but I guess it will have to do for now. If I could just figure out how to construct and hoist a good and sturdy sail...

Is it done yet?







Here is a little house I constructed this afternoon. Quite frankly, I am not exactly sure of the look I was going for. As a matter of fact, I am not even sure if it's finished! What do you think?

Getting smaller...





















Here is a smaller loft I've recently constructed. Unlike the other structures you've seen, I actually purchased 1:48 scale furniture online for this project. On the bottom floor is the bathroom, kitchen, and den areas. The second floor includes a large bedroom. As you can see, the staircase and space between each stair is not exactly proportionate to the rest of the house, so I may add more steps.

All aboard! Well...maybe not.


Here is the "Train Station." For some reason, this one doesn't do much for me, which would probably explain why I have it hidden in one of my closets now! Perhaps I should do more to it?

Rescue me!


Ahhh, and here is my baby! I call this structure "The Lifeguard." On average, most of the structures take about 2-2 1/2 hours to construct but, surprisingly, this one only took about an hour. The idea for building the lifeguard post swam in my head (all puns intended) for several days, so I guess I really unleashed once I got the glue gun in hand.

Our Town



Here is a pic of Mason's little town which consists of the carport/loft (far upper left corner), the jailhouse, and McBride's Burgers. (As you can see, I've made a slight change to the burger stand. The sign reads "building the best burgers since 1980!") Of course, the structure directly across from the carport is Tatianna's three-story loft, so I doubt if she would appreciate me applying ownership of the structure to her baby brother.
