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!
I love all of your gardening accessories, Marijke. I'd like to have them in real life! - Marilyn D.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing little plant stand and all from your ingenuity, imagination and a few craft sticks! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you both! I'm trying some more craft stick ideas, but cutting tiny pieces out of pretty cheap wood is a chore! Rather a lot of waste, especially the narrow stir sticks. However, I will persevere!
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute! Ladder shelves are a big style item and I love the little drawer.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little display stand. It looks lovely with the display of garden things. Do you need to paint it?
ReplyDeleteI was going to paint it with diluted gray chalk paint, or perhaps in a modern light red , but I am still dithering! Do I keep it for myself or give it away? It's just popsicle sticks....
DeleteMuy bonito y práctico !!!
