Weekend Results

This weekend, I made another item just from a photo; I made a quick sketch of something that caught my attention, and decided to go for it. It is another mostly craft sticks project, with the exception of a couple of pieces of wider flat wood from the scrap pile for the bottom shelf and drawer of the display.



It is unpainted as yet, as I am not sure where it will go. As you can see, the drawer works, the whole thing stands up, but I wouldn't want to drop it as it is all glued butt joints. My first thought was another item for Boutique Pulchinella, a display for garden items like gloves, pots, seed packets, vases, and the like, but there may be another purpose for it too.

Now I am going to try to make an antique Dutch wall cupboard; shabby chic in Dutch - as well as in a number of other European languages - is "brocante" and I intend to age and paint this item to fit that adjective. It has two drawers, a good test of my ability to, perhaps, cut straight lines!
