Worked in the shop last night


These signs we requested by the store that I am selling my stuff in, not done yet, still have to sand the edges and put stain and clear coat on them.

My important paper cabinet. It's hard to find blue stain, I made my own, watered down craft paint, now I have to sand the edges and put a coat of stain over it. That's my trick to everything, put stain over anything and you get a more muted look, this blue is a bit too bright for my taste

You're getting a real production line going there! I really admire your ingenuity with making yourself the blue stain for the cabinet!

I agree with you regarding the wash of stain. My moss maiden's features fade out under bright sunlight, what she needs is a wee bit of antiquity to make her more distinctive.

If only that same theory held true with us in real life! Why is it so beautiful to have old things in our home, but our own wrinkles aren't quite as welcome, lol?

Anyway, nice work as usual, and I love your words ~ "important paper cabinet".
