Well got another project done today. Just have to get another coat of oil on it to bring out the shine a little more. Took ages to do this one. I just didn't seem motivated to get around to it. with all the aches and pains I have been feeling lately I just didn't feel like doing much of anything. But hey life goes on and you do have to get around to doing something sooner or later or it just starts to pile up.
Anyways I started this box some time on February and it is now July and guess what it is finally finished. Talk about procratinating on it.
Well if I don't sell it to a friend who was looking for one I wil take it along with me to the craft fair on Sunday. See if I can get any nibbles there.
I did do pretty good at the Farmers market last Saturday as well. I got rid of a couple of things. I sold a humming bird plack I had made many eons ago along with the rabbits I had on a stick I found on the beach and would you believe it I sold a reindeer in July. well I guess to each his own. It does feel good to get rid of some of my dust collectors. If not my hubby is going to decide to have a bond fire here sooner or later and get rid of some of it. My hard work gone down the drain or up in smoke if he has his way. I like the idea of selling them instead. And it makes me dfeel good that someone likes my stuff besides me.
I got picture off to the right of what I sold and my latest finished project here. It feels so good to finally get something done so I can start on something new. Well I still have the three hgorses I am working on. This one is time comsumming and will take a while. It is like a jigsaw puzzle that you have to put together. One peice at a time and glue it down. Wait for it to dry and then glue on another piece. So it takes a while between working on other projects. I fugure the horses will be finished maybe sometime next year.
I am thinking in regards to next project now. I was thinking of making some sun catchers. You make the design and then cut it out with the scrollsaw. Then put a piece of glass in behind and paint it the different colours and then frame it. I have an idea of a butterfly on a flower. Just have to start drawing it out. Then get the wood together and transfer the opicture. Aw the wheels are turning. I am happy to be feeling better to get back into the sawdust. Hope I can keep upi the good spirits in order to keep going here.
