Got wood?

So being a bit bored during my holiday, by which I mean, I don't want to do design work for university; I started thinking about how to exhibit my collection of rosaries. I came up with frames in which to hang them.
So here I have the wood. I went to get skirting board which is used in bathrooms, when put together they make a beautiful frame.
So I started off by cutting the wood into lengths and then cutting the ends at 45 degree angels, to join them at 90 degrees.
Here are the unfinished frames, joined and having a back box without backing put on. I filled it with wood filler where needed to hide joins and screws. And then spray painted it black and added the centre rod for the rosaries to hang on.

So here are the finished, painted frames with my rosary collection, hanging on my wall... Came out beautifully don't you think?

updates from my black little heart...

So my dearest monkeys... so here follows the latest update from the little black heart range... I have been getting requests from people about the pieces so here are the two latest available...
Unofficially the range isn't out yet, but I mean really, do I need a grand opening?

So this is the little black heart rosary... The beads on this one are black tourmaline and cracked clear quartz... Many variations on this piece are available, my favourite is red coral with black tourmaline... Price is dependant on the stones used...

This little beauty is my other baby... based on the claddagh rings of old, this is a promise necklace or for all intensive purposes, just something pretty... Available as a brooch too...

the first of many to come....

So these are photo's I took from a cast I did.... These pieces are mean to be for the little black heart, sneaky you guys see some pieces I haven't told anyone will be in the range yet... hehehe, naughty... and some of the pieces are for my Btech range...


The Little black heart is going well, there are going to be 13 pieces in the range. My Btech range however is a little more problematic. Seems one needs an artist statement, but what is mine? And do I really want to follow a set pattern when I am not sure that pattern is what i want to follow? Time to think, I think....
