Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for my family, my friends, for diversity, and for good humor. I am also thankful that, despite all the bad things in this world, I still can be optimistic that the human race will survive and thrive.




I am also thankful that I have blog followers like you!

Wishing you only good things, Neen

Life Imitating Art?

Do you remember the "Fish Condo"?






In 2010, two creative bloggers turned the "Fish Condo" into two incredible modern dollhouses.

One of the bloggers, "Call of the Small," (http://call-small.blogspot.com/2010/06/mini-modern-and-call-small-gone-fishing.html), created this fabulous house:





And the other blogger, Mini Modern, (http://minimodern.blogspot.com/2010/06/call-small-mini-modern-get-tanked.html), created this stunning house:






It seems that architect Sou Fujimoto also may have been inspired by the "Fish Condo." His creation, "House N," looks like this:

I think you will agree that all of the creations above are pretty incredible! If I didn't have so many unfinished miniature projects, I would buy a "Fish Condo" and create my own modern miniature house out of it. That would probably be called art imitating life imitating art inspired by the "Fish Condo."

Wishing you only good things,

Neen
