I have been wanting to build those walls for Forever! LOL! I am glad to hear you like the Gypsy wagon mural.... I have quite a long way to go before it is done! But I am even happier to hear that the Countess loves Tarot readings! I am sure the Gypsies will be in your neighborhood Someday! :)Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-38687302711909375702017-11-22T21:26:02.488-05:002017-11-22T21:26:02.488-05:00Thank you Piikko!

The knee wall is such a great detail....Hello Betsy,<br />The knee wall is such a great detail. It makes it feel so much more like a finished room, not an attic that collects unwanted stuff. It is looking beautiful and it must make it so much easier to furnish. The gypsy caravan is certainly coming along well. I love the colors you chose and the painted forest is such a terrific and a propos touch. Perfect for a gypsy. I also must comment on the doors. they are fantastic. I can't wait to see it finished and the countess says to let her know if you will ever be around Dewell manor. She loves tarot readings ;)<br />Big hug<br />GiacGiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823654482564548862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-88585777703586910802017-11-12T13:49:21.382-05:002017-11-12T13:49:21.382-05:00Hi!

And do I have to mention at all that I already love the theme of this wagon??? *LOL* What a great idea for the interior these mystical silver trees are, I'm already curious to see how this is going on. And the wall knees look already as if they had always been there - perfect for the place. <br /><br />Hugs<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-9694506064639423882017-11-08T20:22:01.065-05:002017-11-08T20:22:01.065-05:00Well, Im late as usual.

Is it strange to say that I couldn't recall where you were 'before', because there were some great stories to read here ;)! <br />And whilst reading this blog post I also thought: a gipsy wagon..?? No, I couldn't remember me anything of this wagon, but thankfully it seems that there's nothing wrong with my brains hehehe :)! I love the paintwork you've done on the inside walls, the trees look stunning against the night sky. But what else to expect from you, I'm always in awe with your painting works, as you know by now. The door looks wonderful and very realistic, it's very well done. And for now I guess that we have to wait and see how this new project will go and develope, I can't wait to see more of your original work. <br />Warm hugs, IlonaIlonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325745983964748534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-27518822013512489622017-11-08T12:01:20.761-05:002017-11-08T12:01:20.761-05:00Hi Betsy!

It will be interesting to see how much the sleeping alcove will change once the leaves are added. <br />I also like the front door and the detailed door surround. <br />I do hope that you'll decide to do a series of gypsy wagons so that you will have a real community of fellow travelers, since you already have a nice collection of gypsy ponies. :D<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-7448469657066124832017-11-08T11:21:34.386-05:002017-11-08T11:21:34.386-05:00I feel as though I've just received a surprise...I feel as though I've just received a surprise gift! A second Gypsy wagon! I love the mood you're creating with the night sky and moonlit trees. I imagine sleeping there will have all the benefit of sleeping under the stars minus the worry of being carried off by any number of hairy beasts!

I love the starkness of them, but I'm curious to see how they change when the foliage is added. Your finished doors have so much character, and the luscious pink paint on the wagon's exterior shows them off perfectly. Nice work!<br />Marjorie Marjorie Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104669798186181705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-55476876444655736142017-11-08T08:16:01.172-05:002017-11-08T08:16:01.172-05:00I love your trees!
