2026 Project No. 11 -- A Cottage for Two Famous Cartoon Characters
Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2026 11:29 pm
Greetings to all,
First, please note that I’ll reveal the two famous cartoon characters when I share photos of the finished cottage at a later date. The cottage is in the paint shop right now getting two coats of white primer before the colorful finish colors and glitter are applied. This updated design builds on a series of earlier houses, so it already has some history behind it and a precedent has already been set for the theme. You can, of course, use different figurines in the front yard if you so choose.
As the photos show, this cottage has more trim details than my usual cardboard houses, but the basic structure is simple. The three PDFs include patterns for the main pieces. Applying the scalloped trim and other details will be shown in additional photos and sketches which I'll attach in a day or so.
Stay tuned for updates and keep creating.
Howard
