Why You Should Live Here

When I retire I shall live in this lovely Artist Village. Imagine the block parties!
Last year my friend Kathy York asked several artists to participate in creating a 3D village of fabric homes. Each artist was to make it in their own style. Apparently this is my style:

Hat House

One of the criteria for making the house for the Artist Village was that it had to fold flat for shipping. Not only does Hat House fold flat, it is reversible! (Giving new meaning to a reversible mortgage.)

Here you see the interior of the house which has cats left over from some other forgotten project. When this side is out, it's a Cat House.

Hat House is made up of 2 pieces of Timtex covered with fused fabrics. The Timtex shapes sort of roll to form conical shapes and are held into shape with Velcro strips. It's a miracle of engineering discovered while fooling around with scraps of Timtex and an extra cup of coffee.

May also be used as a hat. How Fetching!
