Please note that this giveaway is closed.
I said in a recent post that I would not be posting on the studio any more for a while but I keep getting requests for closeup looks at the new studio storage desk, especially the recycled can designs that hold supplies. Since you asked so nicely, request granted.

Just a little refresher of Before & After (you can see a more detailed post on this project HERE)...
I made one little addition of a shelf in the blank center area that I could not quite figure out what to place there. Fingers crossed and the final brace and under mount lighting will be installed this weekend and bring this project to a close...
aNow for a closer peek at those recycled tin cans...
(This little domino art piece was a gift from Beth)
I used vintage sheet music, burlap, muslin, and lace as background pieces on the white painted cans...
Various bits and bobs from around the studio to make interesting embellishments such as an old spoon, rusty screws, and hair pins...
A vintage bottle cap, photo, and jewelry piece...
Tarnished silverware and mini drawer pull...
An empty watch case...
Tiny tin toy spoon...
Old buckle, vintage graphic, chandelier crystal...
A clay checker, pattern paper petals, mother of pear button...
Mother of pearl buckle, hand woven wire birds nest, vintage millinery...
Handmade muslin rosettes, vintage pearls...
I also finished the cans to hold all my paint brushes...
Now, enough studio stuff for a while unless it is actual art.
At the end of this recycling project I ended up with an extra painted can. I thought it might be fun to design just one more, fill it with ephemera and small supplies to use as a give away prize.

I am in such a hurry that I just want the thing done. I'm thinking that you take pleasure in the details. And, as we all know, God is in the details.
ReplyDeleteOh the ones with the spoons have me thinking about what I could store in them in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteYou are a wonder!
I love, love, love this!!! I have a 13yr old daughter who is always drawing, and I do the same; only recently I am branching out to write books too. I would love to have a vintage desk like this to organize all my art supplies and to write my stories on.

Dear Sandy,
ReplyDeleteWhat glorious works of art! I love each and every one of the set - what an inspiring artist's retreat you have made for yourself. Now, I must run out and gather some muslin, burlap, and all those fun whatnots and create - something!
Yes! Do enter me in your give-away! Let's see now . . . I do love muted shades of blue and burgundy and green; my favorite flower is the lilac; I collect antique books and hats of a 19th/early 20th century flavor; this would make me decidedly vintage. It would seem I am oddly out of place in this century, preferring the more contemplative simplicity of country cottages and the beauty of God's creation.
Your Quill Cottage is always a lovely respite of inspiration - and I just love your musical selections . . .
Joy!
Kathy
