tiddy rooseveltThe first two interior paintings in the hedgehog feeding station. They'll have a coat of varnish then frames will be mounted around them
Other paintings i'm thinking:
Bowl of fruit
Vase of flowers
Poppy fields with a blue sky
Soft clocks
Another hedgehog portrait

In honour of @PhineasX's Hogratio Quillson, another of their ancestors now adorns the wall of the second feeding station
Next up: soft clocks
And I couldn't do a dali inspired painting without having a giraffe on fire for good measure
Soft clocks. These will be ready for a spot of varnish and the frames done in the morning
If you're just joining me and have no idea what I'm doing:
I'm decorating a hedgehog feeding station (for wild hedgehogs, not pets), painting works of art on the walls of it and putting ornate gold frames around them.
Getting a cultural exchange going.
I'm really not used to doing such tiny details, so this has been A Challenge
Wood ordered ready to start work on building the new exterior baffles. And a sheet of perspex as a roof over them since ply isn't likely to hold up nearly as long, even with layers of enamel paint (plus then i'll be able to spot if any hedgehogs start snoozing in there, as happened last year)
Plotting out the baffles, this is what'll be built onto either side of the feeding station leading up to the doors.
Cats cannot duck *and* take tight turns at the same time. The tighter the turn, the harder it is, they need to be able to pull themselves through. So here the roof is low enough a cat can't do that, narrow enough it can't manoeuvre , and it it would have to duck further on the main bend
The entrances would also be facing a wall so that's another 90 degree turn to get in it.
These are the kinds of baffles I've always wanted to put on them but, well, that's rather a lot of construction
It's all coming together at last!
