Specialty Door Revisited

Taking the cue from Ed's previous post, about the small door installed on a tree hole

I made one, with a few extras, to fit between tree roots:

Great. Some of those projects are more fun that the big ones.

Cute. Think you should add a mini-mailbox with the name A.Squirrel printed on it.

Yep, it was fun. And similarly as the response to the San Francisco door w as, part of the fun is knowing/anticipating the positive response it will g et, later. I've had similar anticipated and resulting responses from child ren who have recieved the child rockers I donate to fund raisers and to chi ldren, of poverty status, to whom I give chairs to.

Yep, any little tidbit of accessory or "something different" appeal, to pro mote catching one's attention. The ladies mentioned the doorways would lik ely attract the attention of many buyers.... hinting I should make more!? Similarly, the small wheel barrows I donated last fall caught many gardener 's eye as quaint and unique. Several of the women master gardeners want on e for themselves, so I have these on my list of to-dos.

A master of whimsy, you are ... really love that kind of stuff, along with the attitude/mindset it takes to bring it to life.

Well done!

I've had lots of practice with whimsy and the like. Having no children, ma ny of my past "token" projects were for nieces and nephews, as they were gr owing up. These days, I now unload these tokens on their children. One on ce requested a Harry Potter magic wand.

Thanks. I was happy it came out as well as it did. The first attempt didn't have an inner wood core and the main body distorted all sorts of ways, when trying to add other aspects to it. An inner wood core is a must.
