My New Little Chair

I have a "To Create" List.... There are so many things I want to create, and I don't know if I will ever have time to get to them all... I doubt it. Creating a chair out of plaster has been on my list for a number of months now.... and I am happy to say I now have created the chair.


I started with a framework made of wire and a bit of plaster to hold it together.


I then added a layer of plaster gauze....


and some more plain plaster that once dry I sanded down.



I then painted it, added a thin layer of wax, and wove the back with some aged twine.




I then had some fun taking pictures of my new little chair (sits about 5 inches tall).











We still have so much snow.... but I wanted to see some signs of spring, so took my dried flowers and my new chair outside in the snow and the sun and had some fun taking pictures.

    Delightful! I love your chair. And I also really like the first step of the process, the thin wire framework with a little plaster. Great work!

    Oh, I love this chair!
    We have had an unusually warm winter. I. Think that I shoveled once. Today is supposed to be 70 out ( not normal) . Funny though, I haven't missed the cold....

    Your chair is lovely. I love small things. I have started to dry tea bags, small ones but I might stitch them together . Gosh how much tea do we drink, there is such a pile of them drying. Your art work is so nice, the tiny book is gorgeous.
