Rabbit chair

Previous work

Wishing you all a wonderful day! 

This is a chair I painted a few years ago. I have painted many a stripe and check. In previous years I have to confess I had now clue what a prim was, now I don't seem to be able to get away from them.

and loving every minute.

We all walk paths in life and you never know when the path may turn!

Decision Made

After much thought, my heart says to leave it wood! I know boring right, not really it is beautiful as is. I try not to paint pieces that are not in need. I stick to pieces that the veneer is not good or they have good bones but in my opinion need updated. So I 'll have to come up with something different. If you have any suggestions or would like to learn who to do, let me know, I will try and help to the best of my knowledge. 

Spring has Sprung

Every spring, Fall and winter, I change things around the cottage. Not for the Holidays but for the seasons. A lighter airy feel in the spring and summer. So I took yesterday off and switched things out, In the process you always find items that need cleaned, areas that need some TLC, etc. So of course it takes more than one day. I also got a little side tracked. I was recently at the local Thrift store and came across a dresser  I think from the late 1800's. My kids will say, Mom don't you have enough furniture or I thought you were cleaning out. But non the less here it is, now the same old dilemma, do I leave it wood or paint it? We'll as an artist my first thought goes to paint it! A couple years ago, everything in my home was painted , so I am trying to bring some wood back. I will live with it for a week or so till the answer comes! The other question arrives do you keep it or sell it? Hum mm!

Restoration Spinning Wheel

1800's  I think,

All the Ivory had to be clean, needed some putting together,

This is for spinning flax, Flax Paddel had to be rebuilt, added a design to match the wheel.

The flyer had to be reconstructed,

The whole thing works beautifully now, It's a joy to spin on.

Love to spin, Now what to do with the yarn? I'll think of something unusual!

Elegance
