I have been busy

I have been busy making more bits for the new project, I have found the wall paper I am going to use, bit more to do on it before I show you.
today I made a scroll and a box to put it in, here are the details



I made a small long box to hold the scroll

this I painted metallic gold, placed tiny picture on top

sorry this i a bit blurred, I cut and painted 2 cocktail sticks, rolled a small Egyptian design and attached the ends to the sticks, then it was rolled up

scroll with cocktail sticks attached

finished item.





I am making a few of these, along with boxes and other bits, as it is a large shop, I hope to end up with a large selection that are for sale,

I have also been to the hospital today to have my echo scan, will have the results in a couple of weeks, just hope all is ok,

some of the items I have brought
after a lot of deliberation I have decided to start my Egyptian project,it has been sitting looking at me for a long time, and now I have my new work room I have the space to work on it, I have put on pictures before but will be showing them again, one of my problems was deciding what to cover the wall with, well I found something, and I am now in the process of making the paper look right, I am still undecided what to do the outside wall in, I welcome any suggestions, I was very lucky with the shop, I picked it up for 5.00 from my local second hand shop, I could not believe my luck, the other bits I have collected for a long time and I have also made a lot of ornaments and bits for it, today I am going to spray a cabinet gold to match the others I have already done, it really just needs decorating and putting it all together, so off I go.
If you want to see some more pictures see earlier blog pages.


this is before I get spraying,

I have also completed another one of my projects, its a mans desk, I sprayed this matt black, added some gold decorations and then added stuff to make it look real, hope you like it
