My six year old grand daughter and her four year old sister are visiting for a few days and this morning it was work shop time. The six year old is mostly a painter and idea machine. She painted two fish and inspired a treasure box.
The treasure box is clamped and drying while the kids are off for the day.
I began a knife project some time ago but have moved closer to completion this morning.
The blade is wrapped in tape to protect my clumsy fingers while I work. The antler, finger guard and blade are glued together and will be ready for final polish and buffing tomorrow.
I burned a flower pattern into each side of my previous box and painted the pattern. Each side is similar but intentionally individual. Once the sides are done I will attach the bottom and top.
The rose trellis is done and set up too.
It is time for a bit of a holiday to enjoy this warm weather that we've been waiting for for so long.
cheers Ian W
