First project, a fine Castle

Project by John Kasparian posted 363 days ago 667 views 0 times favorited 17 comments Add to Favorites Watch

She found my scrap bin and decided to build a castle for me.

She picked the pieces. I showed her how to glue up.

I had no idea when she started to lay them out and glue, what she had in mind. She was thinking in 3 dimensions and viewed her castle standing up.

After I popped a few brad and a day of drying…she painted.

Natalya is 3 1/2 years old.

Beautiful, Beautiful, Lucky you! Look what shops can bring us. Some of the best moments of our lives. Not only is that a seed for the future, it is a door to the past.

I have some hand painted bird houses that look like they are from the same art movement…. You will treasure this project for years to come.
