Here I have included two crafts. My dad's interest and hobby was woodwork and often crafted all sorts of items , recycling from other no longer used wooden furniture , usually Oak.
As a child I used to love spending time with him in his workshop ( often knee deep in wood shavings !) His biggest piece of equipment was the lathe , but my delight was the hand drills , where I would be given a piece of wood and a drill, to drill holes to my heart's content!! I am very fond of this little chest that he hand made and hand carved a grape design ( in the style of Willian Morris ).
When I was going to Silk Painting classes, I painted a grape design on silk and used this to a) make a decorative light-pull and b) cover a trinket box , to compliment the Chest!
This will also fit into OWO-6 , The rules of odds
What a beautiful wooden chest with that intricate design! And your silk painting pieces are lovely, Beryl! Clearly, you are your dad's daughter! (Love your story of drilling holes to your heart's content! :) I am conjuring the smell of the wood shavings! Wonderful!) Fav!
