Stick Chairs

Chairs made of materials found right from the ground around a fishing cabin in Lapland where I spent some days last week.

Wooden benches

I made benches out of old wooden spatulas. Their worn surfaces makes me think of sea. They would be perfect for a beach house. They are very easy to make. This is how I cut the pieces:

And here are the finished benches:

I tried one with a ladle, too. This one makes me think of Lapland or some cabin in the woods.

Tiger's House

I'm making a home for a Tiger. He is part of the picture book I've been working on. House is made out of cardboard and there are real pressed fern leaves in the wallpaper. I used glue and gesso to make that. A round table is made out of an old book cover, chess pieces and wooden beads. Chairs are also of recycled materials. I dismantled a wooden dish drying rack which I found and used bits of its wood for the chairs. Window is made with quilling technique using paper, Glossy Accent and enamel paint. I love using jigsaw puzzle pieces as floor tiles. Here I used a bigger puzzle as I usually use 1000 pieces puzzles.

Folding screens

I saw a picture of a pink folding screen with mirrors and wanted to make it in miniature. I made another one in green, too. I think I'll try a light yellow as well. I used chalk paints to paint them. They are easy to use and to mix different shades. The folding screens are made mostly out of old book covers which is easily my favorite material. It gives me satisfaction somehow to use things nobody wants or appreciates anymore and create something beautiful out of it and give it a new purpose.
