Take a seat...

Before coming to University I completed an Art Foundation course, and for my final project, I completed one of my favourite days out with my friends and went to a flea market. Where i found the most tatty old chair I have ever seen, riddled with woodworm, a ripped seat and scuffed to the bone... it had 'TAKE ME HOME' written all over it!

I took it home, sanded it down to the bare wood and treated the poor thing for its infestation of woodworm. A week after its beauty treatment, I painted the chair gold, applied crackle glaze and painted it magnolia.
I then made a new seat for the chair and and re-upholstered it with my painting of a rose. I loved this project, I put my heart and soul into it, and was so pleased with the outcome.
