My door collection now. I have one more, not included in the photos. Do you think i have enough doors for a garden house now? Lol. I so can't wait to have it built. I managed to score some really nice doors for my garden house. Very happy.

And now we have Led Zeppelin. You can find Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and the Beatles chairs, at the Donald Shared Shop . Sitting in our music window display. I have been working a wage paying job for a while now, so I don't have as much time to do my art.

Two new chairs coming up soon. I have another exciting new project coming up. I have wanted a garden/greenhouse made from recycled doors for a zillion years now. I'm so excited that I have enough doors and windows to fulfil my desire. The first photos are my door collection, I've been working on. I have a few windows too. The other two pictures are the goal. Obviously mine won't look exactly the same. I want at least the etched butterfly images coloured, so I have purchased some glass paint. The image has a butterfly, a dragon fly and plant on each door, both slightly different. So I'm definitely painting the images on the etched glass doors and I have a stained glass window, and a unique arch frame, I'm hoping can be used in my structure, somehow. I have plenty of room to make my greenhouse/garden house a reasonable size. This one, I definitely can't do on my own, so will be paying someone to put it together.

As per usual, Rosie is posing for the camera, along with the chair, lol. I seriously don't charge anywhere near enough. I hammered every tack in by hand, because they're too big for my nail gun. The back has taken a good three n half hrs to hammer all those tacks in. Just as well I enjoy doing this and I enjoy it when others are thrilled to have one of my unique chairs. I now have a wage paying job, to keep me afloat. My art isn't enough to sustain me financially. Hopefully my customer loves her new chair.

Picked up this gorgeous lady today. If anyone is interested in a custom job on it, hit me up. Otherwise, i am thinking I might do something like the vintage rose print on the backrest. Not sure, but excited to have it in my possession. Looks good in my house, tempted to keep it. I have too many chairs, but then, is there such a thing as too many chairs, when you're me, lol.
