The silence of the bricks
The silence of the bricks

The colours were inspired by a book I saw a few years ago; a black and white house with red bricks. So my motive is different but it's pretty much the same idea:

it's meant to be kind of a cover for a crime story.

That tree took me maybe half an hour. Easy and fun. The house was much work though. I left some parts open in the back so I have still light shining through but it's pretty much solid and has 4 walls :-)

I figured out a striking technique for the roof using chain links but in the end I just left it blank using open studs. I think somehow it works here because it empasizes the smooth curves.

I finally could use all the red flower parts (4 on a spruce) I bought years ago and it turned out I didn't have enough for a large tree. Therefore I used other parts as well an mixed some techniques but those 4 on spruce part are still the best :-)

It's also actually the very first time I used black and white for a half timbered house. That might sound trival, but using another colour usually means you have a totally different part selection. Fortunaltely it's the other way round with black. All the parts I usually need for half timberes patterns are there and also tons of other ones. I tried some half timbered techniques in the back I haven't used before. Also experimented with strings connected to studs but didn't use them. Also weapons might be useful and interesting for half timbered stuff.
