Things done & found

I have been busy!   I cleaned and rearranged mini-working stuff inspired by the AIM magazine articles showing artisans work spaces.   Came to light many an item I don't even remember making yet there it was.  One of those was this blue chair (from a kit).  
The push pin and pony bead glass I made six dozen of after learning, at last, how to get the pin out of pushpins cleanly and neatly.   You hold the pin over a candle flame for 8 seconds and pull it out with pliers - easy-peasy.   The glasses aren't fabulous but they will do.

The crystal ball thing is just some bits I glued together which I simply couldn't resist.   It is a curiosity and will go into someone's library or the pawn shop should I ever get that built.

The wonderful plinth with flowers comes straight from an AIM magazine project.  I am working on a second one right now.  

More things I have made

This was from Christiane Berridge's wonderful book:  Victorian Dolls House Projects:  A Day in the Life.   The black pipe goes up and bends and goes to a wall.   I just love contraptions like these!
The sleeve board is my own design based on one I made full size for myself long ago.

I am not so sure about this harp.  It was a very cheap Christmas ornament that I played with but I am not sure it was much improved by my hands.  Still, I'm keeping it - just may move it back into a corner of a drawing room.

 This chair I made so long ago I can't recall when, the 1980's or earlier.  I have always been proud of it though the seat needs a bit of fixing.

The checkerboard was made when I was a teenager, never had any checkers for the poor thing. 

I found this green vase with sunflowers this past weekend at Hobby Lobby and couldn't resist it.
The book is an old cover and is about Civil War Battles.
The filigree dish is a bead cap I played with and  glued onto a large grommet.
