When I originally made this house, a la Mode Stuff Linda suggested I name it after “The Incredibles” – you gotta admit, their house is pretty super fantastic: But I did a little research and discovered that this kind of roof is called a Butterfly roof, and the man who designed it and used it…
Waaaay back when, before I’d discovered my art quilting groove and before blogging was mainstream (really, there was a time when this was so!) I used to subscribe to Fine Homebuilding, and several other shelter magazines, and dream…dream of the day that I would have the budget and time to commission a beautiful house built…
Hey There! I’ve got a new “ask Candy” over at Alamode Stuff – it’s about how to add one of those “grab my button” boxes to your sidebar! One of the things I’ve been wanting to do with my houses is to give them better names than “Flat roof” etc… Alamodestuff Linda suggested naming them…
Well, I finally made some new Mod House Ornaments in a new color palette I call “Pine Forest”, with shades of brown of the bark and the carpet of old needles, the green of this years needles and bit of blue sky. So what do you think – would you like to move into the…
I’ve been building a set of Mod House ornaments in my new “Pine Forest” palette. I was hoping to have one finished by the end of the week to show you…but I don’t work that way. I prefer to work on all 6 at once, each wee house side being it’s own study in composition,…
Hello! I hope you had a grand weekend! I’ve been a busy beaver here online and added all sorts of new stuff to my site, most of all I finally had a huge (for me) shop update! I’ve also got a nifty new tool from the folks at SlideDeck to help point out the newest…
Although I’ve still not recovered from jet lag and adrenaline hangover, I just had to tell you all how fantastic taping my 2 segments of Quilting Arts TV was! Because my plane arrived too late for me to get to the studio the afternoon before my taping date, I made sure to get there bright and early (7:15AM)…
I’ve been showing you the new mod house ornaments I made for Quilting Arts Gifts, the article/pattern comes out next Fall. Each individual house is featured in its own post: Shed Roof (aka Sled Roof, thanks Aimee!) House d’Incredibles Slanted Roof Tall Gable Flat Roof Short Gable But (IMHO) these are best shown as a…
I have reveled in the fact that I’ve been able to show something new on the blog everyday this week as I’m winding down the school year! Next week summer vacation starts in earnest, I can’t wait to put together all the stuff I’d like to get done! For now, here’s my last house, it’s…
Today is my last day of school! My students give their presentations, and (the theory is) I’ll grade those, get final grades calculated and posted and then I’m done! (Well, except for graduation on Saturday…) I fell asleep at 9:30 last night, I must be tired! Anyway, I’m having fun sharing my wee little houses…
My name is Candy Glendening...and I’m addicted to color! I dye fabric so I can have just the hue & texture I want, and then use it to make art quilts and “everyday art”.
