Our friend Michael Joyce of the always-illuminating Historic Omaha website / blog is addicted to American Bungalow magazine. So much so that he takes extensive notes and doodles many things he sees & loves in that magazine. Take a look at his extensive Flickr set of these sketches, and some of my personal favorites:
- stair rail with an interesting leaf cut-out pattern in the supporting slats
- a neat rose and eye tile design
- a sketch of Michael’s own built-in buffet
- a quintessentially midwestern stained glass design
Thanks for noticing the sketches. You shouldn’t encourage me – my wife hates it when I doodle, unless I’m drawing cats. My daughter always complains on walks, “Daddy is so slow. Why does he always take pictures?” I can’t help it. I’m a visual person.
I’m a longtime Hewn & Hammered feed reader. Keep up the good work!
