Irene's House

 

Once the cellar was well underway I could start on the cottage above.

 

 

The piece of blue insulation foam will be the castle wall that the cottage is built against.

 

 

Here you see the castle wall taking shape as I decide how much wall to keep and how much to eliminate so you can see into the interiors.

 

The fireplace hearth is again a piece of foam, thinner than the castle wall, but shaped and painted into a brick surface. 

 

The Kingdom of Junedale

 

 

 

The beauty of a project called 'The World of Possibilities' is that you never have to be finished.

 

The day after the US election I was looking for something to occupy my head.

 

 

I decided Irene needed a home.

 

Who is Irene? She is Ruthie's mother. She was banished from Oroarium, the kingdom of the Dragon Prince. She was not allowed to take her daughter. 

 

She was welcomed to the Kingdom of Junedale and given a grace and favor home adjoining the castle wall.

 

It is a Greenleaf kit I bought years ago. I will be making changes.

First off it needed a cellar.

The cellar is connected to a series of tunnels for smuggling people out of Oroarium. From the cellar a secret stair leads up to Irene's house.

 

 One of Irene's friends is checking out the secret stairway.

 

The cellar is far enough along that I can start on the house above.
