Dans ma maison il y a…..une femme. There is “a woman” in my house with a PW sunshine face. I came across a few of these .75 inch thick wooden house shapes amongst my supplies. It seems to happen that way when I am looking for something else 
I crackle painted the background and gave my lady a new head. The trim on the roof is from a can of garbanzo beans. I could hardly wait to have some on my salad so I could peel off the label!
After a few highlights with my gel pen along with smudges of ink here and there, I glued on a pressed piece of dusty miller from last year’s garden for the butterfly to land on. I really like matte gel medium for that sort of gluing.

I love your lady sol and her house. I had to go check my cupboard to see if I had Garbanzos with a pretty label, but mine weren’t nearly so interesting.
