Less the imminent detailing, Scary Mary's Place is done:

AND how it looks on The Board:

...now I'll pick out another hovel to putter around with as I plod my way through The Flowers.

Interesting mix of stone colours. Did you think of picking out an individual brick here or there to give it more of a mixed feel, or is there a specific reason the stone work is in starkly distinct patches?

It matches the paving/cobblestone mix, which gives you, the viewer, some idea where the building material came from. AND the bricks/cobbles represent areas of the building that have been patched...shoddy construction.

Ah, my first suspicion was that it was to deliberately show a patch job. Well there ya go!

That might indicate our minds flow in the same channels...seek therapy; you're young: save yourself!

The weekend was rather unproductive craft-wise. I did start on the Seeress' Hovel, The All Seeing Ivy's Place:

...AND a little work on Flowers #2-4:

...I have the stonework & pavers done with the Mushrooms awaiting highlights; SO there may be more photos tonight or early tomorrow...or not.

Later the same day: I just keep doing just "one more thing" to Hovel #2; AND now The All Seeing Ivy's Place is done:

...how it fits on the board:

...I'm starting to believe that I'll finish the board...of course, I believe in a LOT of silly things.

Oh my goodness Deafnala, That town is going to be a cacophony of colour!

I LOVE IT!

The "Seer's" house certainly fits the bill. Why be a creepy old lady peering through the blinds when you can add a large eye to your house and let it do all the spying on the neighbours.

"Ivy!"
"Yes malcifur?"
"Dirty Daniel is putting things in your rubbish bin again."

Cheers

The flowers are going to be amazing when they are done.

I like the name "All Seeing Ivy".

Thanks, Matt...glad you like it. Color-wise there are only two choices for moi; i.e., black & white or the usual explosion-in-a-paint-factory look.

Thanks, weismonsters. I have great hopes for the Flowers. I'm glad you like them.
While it's just a take off on the All Seeing Eye, I also like the sound of The All Seeing Ivy...finding or converting the right miniature should be fun also.

Blimey!
Seems that I have missed a few updates....

(Sorry, sir....)

The upside to missing things is that I get to catch up on the riot of progress that you have made all in one go.

All the new stuff is excellent, a real treat, with the eye and flowers being my almost-favourite parts.
That honour goes to those leaves: They look amazing!

Great work, yet again, Amigo.

Thanks for the kind reply, Paul. All the positive reactions are most appreciated.
I've been enjoying the process. I have a road trip coming up, & it seems like I'm trying to cram in as much painting & modeling as possible before I go. I don't enjoy travelling; but going from point A to point B without going through the intervening distance still isn't an option.
