Back to Work
Although I really like to do craft work I have never been very proficient --probably because I am uncoordinated and kack-handed. Fine work has always been completely beyond me.
 But if I concentrate I can manage some things. Right now I am trying to finish a project I started last year to make a treasure chest shaped box to house some very old hand made nails, and I'm also working on a combination 3D and Photography project to display some of my zoo pictures.

These two old nails where found when excavating beside our cellar when we lived in Oshawa Ontario in the 1960's.The box has some of the brass sheet attached and the next step is to finish gluing and decorating the brass around the lid and body of the box.

Below is the frame I have made by gluing a number of book covers together. I have started painting it with black gesso. Next I am going to iron some iron-on binding onto a piece of cloth that I have in my stash. I will use the cloth, blue with a black pattern, on one side of the the frame and use paper and paint on the other side to be the backgrounds for mounting the photos.

This sort of project will be very familiar to scrapbooking people and those who make artist books, but it is new and challenging for me. I will report on progress from time to time.
