It has been too long, but now the yard at the back of dreamspace is more settled and tidied (sort of – it’s amazing how hard it is to clean up the last junk accumulating area at the back!)
And I’ve got the message… if not now, when? And if not this way (by me just doing it), which way?
I’ve seen WHY it’s so important to me to build Eutopian, ‘fantasy’ architecture – because I don’t feel at home in modern or postmodern industrial suburban materialistic environments – I escaped into Narnia at an early age, then Middle Earth, and much later my own fantasy world in the four volume epic the Apples of Aeden. But just writing about it isn’t enough – I still hope to more fully LIVE it, and avert the date of ending up in a retirement village that doesn’t feel like Middle Earth or Narnia… So, the idea is, prove the design and costing at dreamspace, offer to build for others on their own dream land, build a list of interested folk for a hobbiton type village using the architecture developed here…with a simple, robust Hobbit village constitution and bylaws for peaceful village living. Not a commune, but a village.
So, I’ll post regularly here as we build, and also do short YouTube videos on my wizardofeutopia channel. I’ll upload a few early pictures now… Note the donated dove frame..it was part of a parade float. Not sure where to put her, but I know she’s magical!
