Housing Project 108-114, and the giveaway continues!

365 houses in 365 days















#108- Waffle house (brought to mind by Biddy's suggestion of "sunny side down house", which makes me think of a sad diner.)
I was inspired by my talented friend Derrick Dent to try messing around with gouache again.






















#109- Orange peel house (suggested by Two Sheds)






















#110- Opossum house (more gouache)






















#111- Faux woodblock print house. Randomly happened across this little demo and thought I'd try it out.

















#112- Ice house (suggested by Digital Misfit)
















#113- Lonely houseboat





















#114- Fruit house.
Because nothing says "Easter" like a cantaloupe infested by chenille chickens.


Giveaway!
To celebrate making it to house #100, I'm giving away this mounted print!





















All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this blog, flickr set, or Facebook fan page saying you want to enter. Also, to make it extra fun, give me a housing assignment! Name a thing/things/concept/theme you want to see me try to make a house out of. For example, this was the result of someone suggesting I try to make a house using a box, popsicle stick, and shoestring. The contest will be open for three weeks, on May 1st I'll randomly select a winner. Have fun!

Thanks to everyone who has entered and left suggestions so far!

Also, I'm considering moving the houses to their own blog, and a friend suggested I use Tumblr. I'm really not sure what the difference is between Tumblr and a blog, anyone have any thoughts on that?
