A pats of butter tower, moldy pat of butter, and a mini m-house.

I wasn’t sure how this one was going end up when I came up with the idea of doing a tower of pats of butter. I started working on it near the end of 2023 and it sat derelict in a corner of the studio until the end of February 2024. After I started working on the pats of butter again the idea came to me suddenly to make a mini m-house to go on the top of the tower. This is the smallest m-house of the four I have built.

The floor that the slice of bread is resting on is a piece of MDF that I used to help get clean cuts with my hand saw and miter box. I carved the hanging light bulb from a piece of round dowel. The wall socket was made using the paint transfer method with a tiny picture that was laser printed. The little yellow pencil was made from a dowel with words paint transferred on the side.
