Little House, pen on bleedproof paper, approx. 290 x 200 mm
Is it a little sad that when prompted with the phrase 'little house', the first thing that came to mind was a toilet? Or should I blame it on being Australian?
In any case, the 'little house', dunny, outhouse, shed out back, Aunt Jane's, and a whole variety of names not suitable to be written on this blog was, and, in some cases, still is, a small building out the back of a property containing a toilet, traditionally either a pan or long drop. For further info, feel free to visit good ol' Wikipedia. There is also a humorous Dunny piece of poetry here.

PS: technically speaking this art was done yesterday, but the piece of work I attempted today was so bad, it is never going to utilise pixels on this computer or any other. Hopefully tomorrow will be more arty.
EDIT: I forgot to give you a link to the great Creative Tuesday challenge over on Hot Toast and Jam. Go visit! There are lots of other yummy talented peeps over there.
Well we had those too Gumnut, right in town when I was a little girl. I didn't spend much time on mine this time, almost forgot about it in the making of Christmas gifts for family.

Ha, so funny, great take on the prompt! The caption cracks me up, good one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a kick! I love your idea for this week's CT theme. Interesting detail...the passed out bird and the fumes rising from the outhouse. Oh, and Uncle Bill's feet. Too funny.
ReplyDeleteHeehee! Love your little house :) Brings back memories of my trip to Oz and using an exact replica! Must be an australian fetish right enough! Haha! Love the gas masks too! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea there :)
ReplyDeleteI am laughing my head off because I read the little caption about Uncle Bill. The picture is great on it's own but that caption just did it for me. Terrific!
