tiny town

Tiny Town - accordian folded paper images

I made this little folding town out of architecture from some of my paintings...and when I stood it on the shelf in the gallery the twinkle lights behind reflected in just the right places to imagine a tree or a moon in the night sky. heh heh. I really don't know what use it will serve, or what I will do with it, but I thought it sort of magical, all the same. I think I might also make a row of folding houses from some beach house images I've painted too. Would have a different look. Clearly I have a little too much time on my hands! 
Kind of brought back a flood of memories while cutting around the paper shapes.  I have this one memory when I was about 6, confined to bed with a childhood illness; my mum gave me a paper doll book. I hadn't had one before, and I was so happy with that book! I was so excited to play with it that I hurriedly took my little scissors and cut out all the dolls and the clothes!  Then my mum came back into the room and noticed that in my excitement and haste I had actually cut off all the tabs by which to hang the clothes on the dolls! O dear, disappointment!! "Never mind" she said, and patiently helped me tape all of the tabs back on.
