Working on the gallery again

The painting gallery has not been forgotten.  It's just that I needed a large room box. Now the box has arrived. So this what I managed to work on during the past week.



Special fixtures to hang the paintings on.




Two new chandeliers ready to be hung.  I found a glass necklace, purchased years ago in Prague, and exchanged some of the acrylic beads with the glass ones.


A narrow side table. I mean to place on it a vase of flowers and a visitors notebook for visitors to sign.
I made the table's legs from black, elegant cocktail forks.



For the floor I pieced together 3 pages of floor paper and covered it with a large piece of acetate.
The photo doesn't show it but in reality it's a smooth, shiny floor. I spent quite a few hours on making this floor but am satisfied with the results.



You will notice that I am using a lot of black and white.  The paintings when
they'll all hang together, will add a lot of color to the scene.

I hope to be able to show the finished box room before next week, so please stay tuned.

Wishing you all a wonderful Sunday and blessings.

  3. I wish I could come and sign that guestbook... Your gallery roombox looks gorgeous so far, those frames are a brilliant idea, so clever! And I think your black and white concept was a good choice - no the colours of the pictures will shine even brighter. Can't wait to see more!

    Greetings

  14. I can understand the floor has taken a long time to do, it's been so nice. I'm so crazy about that kind of floor. (I also 1-1 lifetime). It is very elegant.
    Beautiful chandeliers, they are perfect for your room. Your table is also been really good, and the table legs are perfect.
    I understand your choice of colors. Black is both elegant and anonymous, it does not steal the image from your beautiful colorful paintings.
    I look forward to seeing more.
    Hugs

  42. Hello Drora! I like the way your art gallery is turning out. Your black and white floor is really graphic and should make a nice compliment to the art work that you have planned. Your chandeliers are well done but it is difficult to fully appreciate them as they are mostly in the shadow. But the shape of them looks good. Are they electrified? Looking forward to seeing it in it's next phase.
