The Druid's Tower
This project was made in a special class taught by Rik
Pierce and sponsored by NAME. It was held at the Excalibur Hotel in Las
Vegas.
The interior and exterior walls and the roof tiles are
all made from Creative Paper Clay. The fireplace and the two windows were
cast in resin by Rik and painted in the class. The floor is wood.
Since I already had a room for Merlin, I decided to make
this into a druid's tower room. All of the wood furniture in the room was
made by Michael Mortimer of England. The Wise Woman doll was made by Blackfoot
Daisy.
The stand with the crystal ball in the center of the room
was made from a jewelry box I found in a as Vegas shop. The chest you see
by the large chair was another shop find - it is made from camel bone. The
hanging lamp is a novelty also found in Las Vegas.
Several other items were also Las Vegas souvenirs - the
"dragon's skull" on the windowsill, the dragon on the wall, and
the glass "jars" on the mantel, which are really glass beads from
Italy!
Exterior of window.
I plan to add a lit fire in the fireplace, two lit wall
torches,
and, of course, the Druid.
