This finished house will end up in someone else's possession but I will be getting a kit for myself and then I can make all the alterations I would like! I am so glad I had the opportunity to work on this project.

Rik Pierce Workshop - New Zealand March 2013
Rik will be visiting the southern hemisphere next year to run his Fair Rosamund's Bower workshop. With the cost of shipping being what it is, he was concerned about getting his display house to this part of the world. The Australian organiser of the workshop got a kit sent out and asked me to put it together for the event and I wanted to share the end result with you. I'm quite happy with it and I hope the master will be too!!

What a lovely project. It will be interesting to see your take on it.
ReplyDeleteSorry - I obviously didn't make myself very clear...this is my take on it. I've just finished all the work on it and it will be on it's way to the Gold Coast (Qld) shortly and then on to New Zealand. Hugs - Lidi
DeleteGreat project! I would love to take one of his classes someday if only he would come to my state. Also love to get one of his kits and see what I could do too. Lol
ReplyDeleteWow looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteyou have done a BEAUTIFUL job making this kit. I know Rik and everyone else will be very impressed. I look forward to seeing how you finish the kit that will be yours.
ReplyDeleteLidi: You've done a really beautiful job on this! Lucky new owner!!
ReplyDeleteI love all of Rik's creations and appreciate the work involved in each project having done his Storybook Cottage myself. Congrats!

I think she meant that when you get the kit for yourself (not this sample house for the class) she interested to see what you may do differently. Still it IS a lovely project. Rik is so very clever!

This is just lovely - I'm sure he'll be very impressed. what a multi-talented lady you are.
ReplyDeleteYou've done a wonderfull job!
ReplyDeleteI haven't finished mine yet but it's getting near completion.
And a great opportunity for you guys/girls in Australia
Wonderful job, I have only done paperclay once so far and I really liked it. I still have not figured out how to get over the fact that mine left gaps after it dried. Any suggestions? I would love to take one of His class's, maybe one day. Though I live in Canada, and I dont think he comes here?
ReplyDeleteJenn
Paperclay does shrink occasionally depending on drying conditions at the time but it is also very forgiving and easy to fix. Just get a little paper clay and fill in the offending gaps and it's done. Once painted, you will never know there was a problem! Hugs - Lidi
DeleteBeautifully finished, Lidi, and so romantic.

Hi Lidi! You've done a great job, I'm sure Rik will be impressed. I don't know Rik or his work, but it is gorgeous to see.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Ilona
Quel magnifique manoir! le travail de la pierre est parfaitement réussi. Apparemment le travail de la vannerie n'a pas de secret pour vous!!remarquable!!!

What a great project. It looks awesome! I sent Rick an email full of questions a few years ago and he phoned me in person - what a nice guy.
ReplyDeleteA super nice guy! And always ready to share his knowledge! Cheers - Lidi
DeleteMe parece un trabajo precioso y muy bien planeado y terminado. El resultado es inmejorable
ReplyDeleteFelicitaciones!
Lidi, thanks for following my blog!
ReplyDeleteI am just exploring yours, and what wonderful baskets you make!
I am also a big fan of creative paprclay although I did not do much with it as yet.
Just saw the gorgeous fisherman stuff, great work!
and now I am going to read more of your blog.
Hugs,
Gee
Thanks you very much!
DeleteGee - welcome to my blog! I love working with paperclay and I'm sure you will have a lot of fun with it too!
ReplyDeleteCheers - Lidi
Beautiful work and designs.
ReplyDeleteHello Lidi,
ReplyDeleteLovely baskets! I have not done any paperclay and I had not heard of art. Maybe you could make a tutorial I sure would like to learn that craft. Your baskets are great.
Many hugs and kisses, conny
Hi Lidi,
ReplyDeletethank you for joining my blog lately - that gave me the chance to find yours! Your baskets are breathtaking - and I'm convinced "the master" will love how you brought his house-kit to life. I didn't even know there are kits available of him - well, still so much to learn... - and so much to put on my wishlist if I'll ever win in the lottery... ;O)
Greetings from Germany
Birgit
Hi Birgit - welcome to my humble blog and thanks for your kind comments about the baskets! I don't think Rik actually sells his creations as kits - I got this one to do for the NZ workshop and let me tell you it was fun. However, you could always try and ask him because he is a very obliging gentleman - you never know your luck in a big city!! Cheers - Lidi
DeleteHi Lidi, I just love your rendition of Rik's project, how I would like to do the class with him. I have never used paperclay or built any kind of dolls house and am yet too nervous to begin the lighting for my poor Petit Parterre. As someone else suggested, a tutorial in paperclay use would be really helpful. I would love to build this kit too, I must put my thinking cap on.
ReplyDeleteAlso Lidi, Just to let you know it took ages for your blog to load on my computer, we have mobile broadband. Perhaps you could reduce the number of posts that appear on your page, I think there are sixteen at the moment. I don't know if anyone else has had problems accessing your blog. Just a suggestion. And your new colourful baskets are great, Spring is definitely in the air.
ReplyDeleteLidi, it's wonderful! Of course Rik will be happy with it - how could he not be? You have done a great job. I am looking forward to seeing your version in the flesh when you do it.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sandie
Thank you Sandie - and look forward to your next trip up our way!! Hugs - Lidi
DeleteMaravilhosa! Belo trabalho é um estilo que eu gosto muito!
ReplyDeleteHi Lidi, Its gorgeous. I signed up for this class next year but unfortunately not able to go now, really gutted. As always you have done a wonderful job and I look forward to seeing your own completed kit.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes - Morag
Are you getting a kit for yourself? Hope so and really sad you can't make the workshop. Hope all is well with you Morag! Hugs - Lidi
Deletevery coolLidi.
ReplyDeleteI know it by Jeffry a good friend of mine.
In reality he is even more beautiful.
Thank you for sharing.
