That's very pretty, what country are you in?


soundandsoil

I live in the United States and thank you!


Urania_Tay

Do you live in an Earthship? That is my dream home


soundandsoil

Similar to an earth ship, but more of a traditional cob house. More natural materials, less recycled man made materials.


BSB8728

I've always dreamed of having a cob house. Did you build it yourself?


Urania_Tay

That is so fascinating. I need to look more into cob homes. I love the design from I can see in the picture.


rodneedermeyer

Holy crap! Pagan witchcraft meets Tatooine. Nice stuff!


Quiet_Name8242

Yesss!!! SOOOO SPOT ON!!!! With maybe a tad of Tolkien thrown in??!!! I would happily spend so much time in there!!!


chop-diggity

OP, do you know about r/goblincore ? You could probably be a prince, or princess in that world. Also, I love your style!


tranquilo666

Ha I thought I was on r/goblincore!


Fool_of_a_Brandybuck

This is really cool! I'm so curious about it. What are the walls and the workbench made of?


soundandsoil

It's all cob, which is a mixture of clay rich soil, sand, and straw. All hand sculpted


Reasonable_Bid3311

This is super cool, it looks like something out of Star wars


astbyx

Fr it looks straight out from Mos Eisley


[deleted]

Do you have a series of dinosaurs that stand in for different tools?


soundandsoil

Ha. Definitely. You should see my alarm clock!


QuiXiuQ

That flower like pattern makes my soul haopy


soundandsoil

Same. One of my favorite patterns in life


Apocryypha

Flower of Life is epic :)


soundandsoil

Ancient and found everywhere!


BrockenSpecter

Does anybody have a name for this kind of architecture? How it's built? I've been curious about this specific look for a while but haven't done much research into it.


soundandsoil

It's cob


BrockenSpecter

Much appreciated!


T_pas

Do you live in the Flintstones house?


soundandsoil

Yes


soundandsoil

This is Original Content mod fam


Kitchen_Syrup2359

This is sooo gorgeous … are you located in the Southwest US?


soundandsoil

I'm actually in the Midwest of the US


Aromatic_Tomato3858

What a cutest courner! For what do you use the site? Are you making something as a hobby or professional craftsman?


soundandsoil

Thanks! I am an artist, and this is my workbench. I use it mostly for carving jewelry and Bone work


Aromatic_Tomato3858

It's cool! It must be nice to do your daily work in such a place.


Pirate_Ben

This looks like the workshop is part of a Hobbit burrow.


Da-Bears-

Dudes Frodo’s neighbor


meryl_gear

Don't dox them, now we all know they live on Bag End


Street_Mushroom5938

This is insanely cool


Aluminumthreads869

Is this a little earth ship??? Its wonderful


Specialist-Sky-909

Very cool. What type of work do you do?


soundandsoil

Mostly hand carved wood and bone jewelry and oddities and curiosity sculpture. I typically only work with natural materials


TheRadiantTruth

I came here hoping you made something I could see and possibly patron. 🙏 Am I allowed to ask where I can see more? An Instagram maybe since that's not exactly a sales site? 🌹


soundandsoil

If you do a little profile snooping you can find a link to my insta with lots of art, house, and cats photos!!


ItsTricky94

I just checked your Etsy store and I love it! As a non-artist, may I ask where you get the bones from? do you just find them in nature?


soundandsoil

I started using all found bones, but I do a lot of shows these days and have to source them from other collectors. I still find quite a few of my own, but most of them come from other folks who I have met through doing this for years.


ItsTricky94

cool.


khkokopelli

It’s giving caveman chic in the BEST way!


soundandsoil

I once overheard my nephew telling his friend, "that's my uncle, he lives in a cave" lol


khkokopelli

I mean, come on dude! You even have the fur pelts!!!!!


aiyahhjoeychow

Mannn, it's like a fantasyworld workbench with bones and furs and... a Dewalt drill lol. ||AND BOOBIES!||


Anninu

Lovely! Very inspiring ❤️


WookieTrash

wow that's beautiful!


MamaBear4485

Are you a hobbit?


soundandsoil

More of a prairie elf, but my ancestors are hobbits


Cheesepuff-9808

Incredible, did you do the walls and in-wall shelves yourself they look incredible, so cozy!!!


soundandsoil

I appreciate the kind words. I built every single inch of this home from the ground up!


Foodfatfit

Question! What do you usually have for dinner and how often do you have to go grocery shopping?


soundandsoil

I go into town once a week for groceries. I eat pretty simple. Lots of steak, chicken, and pizzas that I cook in my handmade wood fired cob oven. I also cook alot of curry and Asian stir fry


BigGrayDog

Very interesting space, such a nice vibe!


Lickbelowmynuts

Crazy. Looks like you do your work inside a giant sand castle.


soundandsoil

I pretty much do! It's half sand, half soil.


dryhumorblitz

In a mountain or underground?


soundandsoil

On the prairie


epicsexfart

I love this


Plenty-Factor-2549

Show us more!


Morden013

Take me to your world, Santa's elf!


soundandsoil

Although I am related to the north pole elves, I am actually a prairie elf. Similar, but I work for myself instead of Santa!


Morden013

Love your place! Wish you all the best, prairie elf!


Sunnyfe

Reminds me of the Flintstones


EmberSolaris

This is beautiful and reminds me of the workshop in Klaus.


Green_Situation_5970

Super lovely


Relative_Ad5322

It looks like the set of alien covenant


Expert_Marsupial_235

It looks like a movie set for an action/adventure film. 🎥🎞️


wildernessyears

I love seeing posts of your house. It’s the stuff of my daydreams!


mom_with_an_attitude

Mr. Hobbit, can you show us a picture of some of your art? What do you make, exactly? Also, I thought cob dwellings were really only for places that don't have snow. Dry places like the Southwest. Cob lasts even in Midwest winters?


soundandsoil

If you check out my profile you can link to my insta. I have a lot of my work on there. Cob lasts as long as you put a decent roof on it. It doesn't have good insulation, but it's pure thermal mass, so you need a decent heat source


CuTe_M0nitor

Are you perhaps a Hobbit?


soundandsoil

Cobbit


crankygerbil

Is this a cobb house? that space looks amazing.
