Mini chairs, stern locker, aardvarks

Some miniatures.


Bigger pictures below...

I decided to re-cover the seat cushions in leather.  One of my book conservator colleagues gave me some leather she had pared too thin - paper thin.  Too thin for her, but perfect for me!





And randomly - some aardvarks.


Aren't they sweet?


They live on top of my monitor at the moment.  I intended to put them on the Christmas tree, but that hasn't happened yet.


And here's the evolution of Jack's stern locker.

A piece of wood, painted and stained, with some matboard scraps glued on for the center thingy.


Add some wooden molding and some panels cut from card stock.


Finished.


Optional leather cushions.




It looks magnificent with the windows and the checkered floor, and Jack's desk and little table.  But you can't see all that yet!

Oooh, they're fabulous. You have recovered from your malaise I see. *g*

Thank you! Yes, I have recovered for the most part! I actually made the stern locker a while ago and just never got around to posting photos. It would be a rare burst of energy to get all of those things accomplished in one night. All I did last night was cover the chair cushions. :D
