Hello dear readers,
As I mentioned before, the bench I ordered arrived in time but was too small. I had to create another. . All the materials are from my stash. Sometimes it's good to be a hoarder.
There are only balsa sheets for sale here. I buy craft plates that can be cut with a sharp knife. Usually, I work with craft sticks but sometimes a wider or thicker piece of wood is necessary and I cut it from these plates to the size I need. The seat is from the plate, the back is from the square piece of embellishment cut exactly in half and glued together as you see in the photo. Then, glued between two pieces of 3 mm wooden sticks. The sides are from the small triangle wood embellishments and the 4 legs from the end of chopsticks.
Waiting for the glue to dry.
Waiting to be painted.

This is for all the wonderful talented knitters among us
The following photos feature the work of a 91 years old British lady who knitted, during the lockout, a miniature hospital for raising funds for 3 local hospitals. I have still trouble with inserting a link. I hope this time it will work. Here.
Isn't she amazing?
Please keep on taking care of yourselves and your families. Stay safe!

ReplyDeleteGran talento el de la señora de 91 años.

Your bench turned out awesome - although it's sad for the money you've spent but it was still good that you had to make your own bench, it looks so much more better!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for introducing this amazing lady to us! This is stunning in every way - the whole scene itself, the fact that (almost) everything is knitted, that all is for charity... but above all when considering the age of this lady. Chapeau!
Keep on having fun with your book nook and take good care of yourself!
Hugs
