Pretty wooden houses and crafts

Hello I'm Lisanne, I work from a cleared space in my small 18th Century cottage in the countryside in Hertfordshire, England in a small hamlet. I have a studio assistant called Daisy a tortoiseshell senior cat.

I love to create little wooden houses from wood and other crafts often recycled vintage treasures.

I will be adding more craft projects along the way. I studied for a degree in illustration and I incorporate my love of painting and drawing into my designs. I use offcuts from a local carpenter, so making good use of discarded wood which would end up in landfill. I love to create replica's of lovely cottages and houses I see in the villages around where I live and also from Cornwall where I like to visit in the summer. I paint them, then sand back and reapply paint then re-sand, to create a weathered look which gives them a character all of their own.
