Wattle & Daub Jamaica Style: Your Free Garden House

Heart, hand & intellect, below, trump money.
.
.
New construction.



More than sticks & dirt, windows- doors- wood, were rescued in anticipation of construction.






Another style of wattle & daub, below, in the same garden as, above.


 Every element of each picture is free.



The bottom of my chinoiserie chicken coop is 'open'.  Summer of 2015 I plan to wattle & daub Jamaica style.
.
Me.
.
No man help.
.
Me.
.
Feeling the wet Georgia red clay in my hands.
.
Chickens watching.
.
My heart, hands & pleasure.
.
Until then, the glories of anticipation.

NOTE to my gardening friends... look for changes to come. 
Knew before computers/cell phones, sitting in Atlanta traffic on way to a client, 'I must reach a larger audience with the same amount of effort.'   Soon after that epiphany I signed my CBS-TV, and, books contracts on the same day.
.
Then I read an article in the NYTimes about something called 'blogging'.  Saved the article for a year before reading it.  Studied all the blogs they mentioned, hired a computer expert they quoted, and attended a blogging seminar.
.
Blogging 2.0 has arrived, my knowledge is 1.0.  A believer in copying the best historic gardens across the globe it flows into every arena of life.  Watching Maria Killam grow her career/blog/life over the past 3 years made its impact.  Signed up  for a year's course with her blogging expert, Jon Morrow
.
Changes will be slow, plodding is my adored method.  Pulling triggers here/there is spice in the mix.
.
What do YOU want?
.
Nothing is too small, too big, or too ego crushing to mention.
.
Passion lies in sharing what has filled me to the depths of grace, joy & atonement, the best landscapes created over the last 2,000+ years.

Just so you know... 

 I  welcome your input.

Cannot wait to see the Georgia clay version. You’ve got to get someone to take pictures of you in action.

Mud pies on a much grander scale! Is there a recipe to stabilize the mud or is it really just mud and sticks?
