The first two interior paintings in the hedgehog feeding station.

Marine hinges and hasps for the roof flaps, I've seen the state store bought hedgehog boxes get into and we're bypassing that thank you very much!
If this damn thing is going to last 15 years it won't be let down by a bloody hinge.
Silicone and fibreglass sheet to cover the flaps too, and hdpe blocks to keep it well off the ground@babe the world needs more of this commitment to durable hingedness

It sounds like in about 200 years they're going to make it a listed property.
@cazabon the way it's looking, it's possible it'll still be around!

Honestly at this point I'm looking forward to getting my studio back. It's had a giant dust sheet and cardboard laid out on it got 2 weeks covered in wood at various stages of painting.
I like to start a project, do the project to completion, and then rest. A project like redecorating these would ordinarily be 2 days. I do not have the patience for all this waiting for things to dry stuff (and with 6+ layers to put on its a lot of waiting)
The floor decorations starting to go on now

I got the epoxy layer on the floor of the nesting box this morning so that's as good as finished now.
The last of the tiny paintings get done in the baffles tomorrow, I just need the coats on them atm to thoroughly dry.
I need a few more dry flowers for the floor then I can assemble it all and get it poured. Nearly there! Couple of days left at most -

@m3t00 The floor flowers are real pressed flowers rather than painted, I can't take credit

A portrait of Egg, a vase of flowers, a horse because paintings of horses are always fancy and high class, and the hedgehogs' very own original kandinsky

This is such a delightful idea, and I've been truly enjoying following along with your current project.

@babe Will there be a grand opening? Could Egg nibble the cordon?

@babe Pretty!

@babe Also I learned a new word: baffle [noun].

A little over 2 weeks later and the Igel's Nest (hedgehog nesting box) is finished!
Undercoated in mold resistant stain blocking paint, made fully waterproof by 2-3 layers of enamel based paint, topped off with an acrylic based paint for colour and then covered with a few layers of polyvine varnish. This thing should now outlive me!
With a solid resin floor it also makes it easy to keep clean and won't be attractive to woodlice.

Just a tiny bit overkill but at least i won't have to worry about a hedgehog moving in and deciding it's also his toilet anymore.
Cleaning that when it's porous wood, not a fun experience.
