Inspiration in Taking Teeny Tiny Houses a Lot Tinier

I have long fancied the idea of teeny tiny houses.

The first teeny tiny houses I made honored Emily Dickinson. The next set honored Virginia Woolf. I have been snatching up bird houses from thrift stores ever since.

These most recent two houses are houses… in general.

Houses for all women, especially the quirky, the giddy, those of us who sometimes sound like Pollyanna: you know, playing the Happy Game and things like that.

I just love these two little houses, so I took them up to the bluffs near my house and took some photos.

The larger of the two has two literary images on it: Anais Nin on the roof and then an image from the Raggedy Ann series written by Johnny Gruelle. His daughter, Marcella, inspired him to create the series and since my Grandmother was also named Marcella so I have taken Raggedy Annie as my “Every girl” or “Every woman”.

She was featured in the body of work I created for the art show “Silent All These Years” about 18 months ago.

I am so inspired by these little homes I want to put a teeny tiny house in my backyard for myself to serve as my studio and office.

Where has your creativity and art taken you today?
