Re: Ivan Bilibin
Yes!
It fits with the research you folks have done with me. It seems to have all the "right" things.
It is wooden, with interesting "gingerbread" trim on the roof and windows plus also has the bone fence.

Bilibin's Baba Yaga Hut
Kathy, I have a copy of Bilibin's book and in the book's illustration, the house is about 6 inches high with a lot more detail than you can see in the website I showed you. If you like, I can send you a scan by email....

Re: Bilibin's Baba Yaga Hut
Thanks for the offer Celeste, but that won't be necessary. I don't want to copy anything, just get ideas.
Now to find the time to sit down and do it!.
So many fun things to do and so little time to do them!
Ah, if all problems were like that.

More dachas!
I don't know if you're still looking for inspiration on this one, but the book by Alexander Afanasiev, I mentioned in another thread has some really wonderful illustrations of Russian dachas. Some are on stilts, others have beautiful fretwork shutters, and the one illustrating the story of the wolf and the kids has a fantastic carved goat's head on the roof! It's definitely worth a look. And the illustrations of horses and sledges are just superb. The book is a delight to the eye and the soul!
All the best

buba yaga's hut in a comic book
There's a rather fascinating image of Buba Yaga's hut in Neil Gaiman's
The
Books of Magic. It's a comic book. You can actually see the
legs unfolding and running away.
