    Weird, that link should have worked. It did for me.
    I think it was your use of a colon just prior to the url.

    That is adorable!!! All you need are the blue cone hats!

    What's interesting is how the house kind of "moves"--with very few square angles, and taking its cue from the trunks of trees and branches, it feels almost alive--almost like walking into a Van Gogh painting. I'm wondering if you would feel different living in it for that reason? Would it be a positive or negative experience, I wonder?

    Thanks for sharing it!

    I fell in love with that little house and style of building when I first saw those pictures some years back. It reminded me of a little Hobbit House.

    We're so used to living in boxes. Curves are great!

    i've loved this place for years. a straw bale house would be awesome, and theres a german family here who built one in town. they'd been living in drafty kiwi homes and were like "enough!" and built a straw bale, simple and beautiful home with a wood burning stove as their primary heat source. it's SO nice to visit there.
