Recently our international blogger group had the challenge to create something out of resin. This was my first attempt at the challenge. I wanted to try and shape resin around an object to get an interesting shape. I knew I wanted to make a bowl of some description but in the end, I was not happy with the colour.
I am in the process of trying to clean up my workshop to make more room for me to work in. Because I never say no to free wood, I have found myself crammed into one small section. To use up some of the smaller pieces of wood I am making a few different wooden Wall Hangings. This wall hanging was so much fun to make and making the design up as I went along made the design unique to me.
Today’s post is our next Int’l Bloggers Club challenge and the theme this week is “Cast in Concrete”. We have to create a project using concrete in any way, shape or form. I chose to make Zen styled garden decor. I have never used concrete before so I did not have high hopes for the outcome. More about IBC at the end of this post.
All my projects are made from recycled materials and on finding this table I was not sure at first what I was going to do with it. My daughter had just bought a beauty bar and loved the idea of having all her makeup and beauty supplies in one place. So that was what I decided to do, It would be a makeup beauty bar as they are called in Australia.
We all know how expensive it is to buy a house, so buying new furniture to furnish it is out of the question. The previous owner left this dresser behind in the house and my daughter wanted me to give it a makeover.
I had recently given an old headboard a geometric design makeover and she wanted this dresser to match that design. When the dresser arrived it reminded me of the orders I receive from China, looks good in the pictures but rubbish in reality. But I have tackled worse than this dresser if this antique dresser was anything to go by.
I was browsing Pinterest the other day and came across a similar horseshoe towel rack. I clicked on the link had a quick look and then carried on browsing. Next thing I know my Newsfeed is flooded with horseshoe towel racks. So I took it as a sign that I should build one and give it my own unique touch.
