Backyard Contemplation Intarsia Pattern
Backyard Contemplation Intarsia Pattern
Couldn't load pickup availability
The "official" title is Backyard Contemplation but we just call it The Dunny. Aussies will understand this.
This striking and very popular design is a cross between intarsia and model making.
Our first attempt didn't have an occupant. Very boring with just the shed and the chickens.
The pattern and instructions guide you through making the background and then gluing the following bits on top
- Old fella
- Chooks - farmyard fowl to the non-Aussies among you
- Door
- Bushes
This finished design always attracts a lot of attention. As it will when it""s hanging on your wall.
