The House Couple

from $7.00

Two houses, side by side. One warm and mosaic-bright — green and pink patches of tissue paper layered like stained glass, windows glowing, a little blue button on the door. The other quieter, cooler — gray stone textures built from pre-made paper, a green door with a warm light behind it. Both tall, both narrow, both stitched along every edge with thread and embroidery floss. Together under a hand-built sun against a deep glowing orange sky.

Barbara loves the way different papers feel against each other — tissue paper, pre-made paper, watercolor washes, ribbon, thread, buttons, embroidery floss — and The House Couple is one of the purest expressions of that love. Every surface has a different texture, a different weight, a different story. And yet somehow the two houses are unmistakably a pair.

Available as a matted original or as art cards.

Original: Tissue paper, watercolor, thread, ribbon, buttons, embroidery floss, and pre-made paper collage. 15" × 12", matted. Cards: 4.5" × 5.5". Price is per card. Blank inside. Shipping is additional.

Variants: Original (matted) · Art Cards
