This is a lacquie that was missing the base and the porch and balcony. Kathleen McLaughlin had given it to me and I was lucky as this one was just like one that was illustrated on Ted's section on the lacquie's. It was a REAL treat for me to do this. I had another lacquie that had very similar dimensions to the house part so making the base was much simplified and the proportions were pretty close. I LOVE the porthole fences and this is no exception. Though making the porch roof, posts and balcony was pretty much made simple by the one on Ted's site selecting the colors were not. I chose the dark royal blue because that was the color of the porch floor but the creamy light yellow or white was my idea BUT I noticed on the side of the house a couple of areas where their was a spot or two of this color so perhaps my guess was correct after all. At any rate the colors ARE compatible and except for the blue which was used as an accent color the rest of the colors are all complements. This is typical of the Japanese as they were as a rule very accomplished in the use of color. Those who are aware of the interesting Japanese woodblock prints are likely familiar with this talent.
I got this done just in time for my birthday!
