i would love to see pics of your progress/project.

as a genre, i believe it is in the folk art category. as a child, i was fascinated by small, rounded wood houses for little people and nature spirits.

during a mad mushroom harvest in the late 60's / 70's, my late husband and a carpenter friend ended up somewhere in the high mountain desert of nevada building little wooden hobbit cottages for some people. or so the story goes….
