Yes..really! It is a little chair I picked up for 50pence at a charity shop. It is about 4 inches high so really it is a small doll's chair I suppose. It was brown wood so I rubbed it down with sandpaper and painted it with diluted acrylic white with some purple streaks. I stuck on tiny cut out flowers and garden creatures with gel medium and then I coated it with a varnish I had in the DIY cupboard! I think this was a mistake as it did not come out as well as I had hoped. I might sand it down and try again. (Serve me right for not buying the right thing ...so saving a bit of cash!).
I have also recently discovered a new magazine called "Altered Art". It comes from the States but is apparently available here in UK from some art and craft outlets. I hope I can find it again because it is really good and has loads of ideas for using every day stuff to do altering with. I like to experiment with what I have or else this lark could become an expensive hobby! I could become hopelessly addicted to new materials and if I buy too much I never can remember what I've got anyway!
Back to the art space above-the-washing-machine-and-next-to-the-back-door. It badly needs tidying up!
