Easter Bunny

I wanted to take a break from my workshop for couple of days, but something was pushing me there. I didn't want to spend lot of time there, I just wanted to do something easy. And because my daughter was painting plastic Easter Eggs, and needed this paint, and that paint, and this brush, and the other... I joined her with making decorations.
Today something easy and step by step:)

1. I draw the bunny shape and copied it on wooden board.

2.  I started cutting shapes on my band saw

 3. Let's start adding some colours.

4. Bit of ribbon, hot glue, little flower and the best part - chocolate egg:)

The Sun-clock

Technology came to my workshop:) actually just clock mechanism. I was curious can I make a clock and get it working...
In the middle of the project I was sure, I should stop and start cutting simple shapes as before.
I used tones of sandpaper, spent hours to match petals to the base, I'm not going to make a comment about first base which  cracked after getting final shape.
But now it's done, it's working and I don't regret even a second spent making this clock.

Before and after

Today not something which I have made from beginning... My sister found a mask dug deep under the mud and bushes in the garden. For me it was a real treasure. I offered her to try and renew it.

I have started with drying it.

Then it was time for polishing and waxing...

You might not believe but from orangy colour it came to deep red and looked amazing at the end.

My advice... Don't throw away old wooden things... Give it a second Life!

Sto lat!

Mamuś!
Najlepszego! Zdrowia! Spełnienia marzeń! I żebyśmy zawsze miały czas na nasze pogaduchy!

P.S. mój syn pogratulował mi wspaniałej magicznej różdżki... Że niby żółty kryształ na górze... Czy to róża czy też różdżka, niech spełnia Twoje marzenia!
