I recently scored a free box of wood scraps and in it was this fabulous old cedar block. I decided to paint it and turn it into a "city block". I think it might be a good block for the Vintage Wood Figures to hang out with.
I like very much how you painted this cedar block: the colours, the particulars and your graphic sign. I love also the labirinth of your foregoing post, it's a bright idea!
Dear Joel, we follow and love your blog from Italy! I wanted to tell you that the italian Vanity Fair wrote about you, would you like me to send you a copy? Ale
famiglia Parentini - Hello Ale, wow I had no idea. I would totally love it if you could send me a copy! I'll send you a little toy or something in return. Could you email me so we can exchange information? jch200@mac.com
This looks like so much fun to play with! I love the variety... the way it looks like day or night, and how the white side looks kind of foggy or wintry. Another great simple idea, Joel!
My 5 year old son and I were inspired by these and your paper city... so he did the drawing and we shared the painting and came up with this. My 3 year old son loves playing with them.
Thanks for your very enjoyable blog and lovely ideas.
love it-- well done!
