Little Boxes On The Hillside....


This is really too much fun! I finished this lidded vessel with the Village Theme today. It's been a really productive week... without making any "production" pieces!
While making the little houses and placing them on the hillside I could not get Pete Seeger's version of Little Boxes" out of my head! A good tune to maintain my OOAK focus ... Polymer clay- "ticky tacky"? (sometimes sticky and tacky) "They all look just the same?"- OOAK all the way!...I do like the martini line tho!
Little Boxes
Words and music by Malvina Reynolds.
Sung by Pete Seeger

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tackyLittle boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same,
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same
And there's doctors and lawyers
And business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tackyAnd they all look just the same,
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

I'm so glad you and I travel to the beat of a different drum!

TGIF- Have a good weekend!
