New Hobbit Holes 16 (and the last)

 


The latest Hobbit Hole is be be the home of a washer woman.
For description, think Toad.
I tried making the laundry from Green Stuff.


A grandson was convinced but then, he knew what it was supposed to be.
The wife guessed at 'Someone's dinner?'
The original table for the tub clearly required Mrs Mop to be stood on a box,
hence this design from a wooden fork handle.
The water in the bottom of the tub is PVA glue.


The washing on the line is Green Stuff and some cloth.
Most material frays.


The mangle is the only left handed one in Michel Delving,
probably in Middle Earth.
A little more washing was added to the line.
It's glue soaked kitchen roll painted white.

Because of the small base 
(I was running out of hardboard)
the garden is too small to take the mangle and wash tub in comfort.
Accordingly, she may move to a better class of hole later.
