Kind of like shelters that are in the mountains, off trails, where a traveller can take refuge and then move on when ready...and the next traveller can then stay a while. A shelter is good for any kind of being - a person, an animal, spiders, even memories....Christie Minchewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402976311221609869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-438776187941845682011-01-07T10:00:42.861-08:002011-01-07T10:00:42.861-08:00I see small steeples on backcountry chapels ...

It is that feeling that attracts me. Your piece continues to sit on our kitchen counter in a place that gathers both light and shadow and it gives you that feeling of empty space and depth at the same time. It's like the emptiness invites a projection of feeling. <br /><br />I still like the name of "Dwellings" for the pieces. I think it's much more apt than "barn" or "home"... It's a dwelling for feelings. Not the maker's feelings, but the projected feelings of the person who sees or experiences the piece.<br /><br />Hope that makes sense.Patricia Griffin Ceramicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205981725964222971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-16001102460229431802011-01-07T05:37:34.600-08:002011-01-07T05:37:34.600-08:00I read these and think there is something there f...I read these and think there is something there for everyone.<br />I love open doors- filled with possibilities.<br />I love closed doors filled with quiet and down time.<br />I love windows flung wide open and bringing in the breeze and the smell of the day.<br />think cabana on the beach.<br />What you have here are endless possibilities- never ending.<br />Please your self- as long as you are doing that the work will sell.<br />As far as what to call them- I hope you call them sold!<br />Mcookingwithgashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456258592273328486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-21006997804598490902011-01-07T04:36:57.360-08:002011-01-07T04:36:57.360-08:00This door thing is really interesting.

My first thought was "dwellings" also but I think Sister Creek Potter has a point. The next idea that comes to mind is "places" but that may be confusing.

For some reason I am attracted to the 'emptiness' of the buildings. And, perhaps for the same reason, I like them better without the doors. All that may just be my tendency to get stuck with the original idea. The empty building without doors speaks to me of its history--what was there before? who was there? what did they do? where did they go? And I get to make up all the stories! But I do LOVE them each one!Sister Creek Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288262555862392503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-68955948785151053292011-01-06T12:27:05.913-08:002011-01-06T12:27:05.913-08:00i laughed at the description of your household.

Fingers crossed that your building will be in your backyard soon.<br /><br />I agree with Kathy that 'dwelling' is a great term for your buildings -- that keeps it poetic - allowing the buyer to determine what it means to them.
