Remember scrap wood watermelon from vintage ironing board?
she's complete ... a little vaca memory piece for the upcoming summer. Haven't created the memories yet, but I'm sure somebody will ... 
words or no words (she's reversible), I like words, most of the time ... 
This project is for me! I'm a chairaholic. I pick odd chairs up at tag and estate sales. None of them ever match (My kitchen chairs were purchased brand new from the Hitchcock chair factory and none of them match either - but they are all beautiful. I appreciate their differences and they all work well together). Back to this project. This chair has history and originally I was going to restore it. It made it's way to a far corner of the basement and sat for years. Space is a commodity in my basement and it needed to go - I certainly did not need another chair IN the house, so I had Rog cut of her spindly broken legs and I am painting her with COLOR! When she is done I will move her OUTSIDE to the garden and beach grass will grow up through the seat (even has her own sun rays), YARDART. Can't wait to see what the neighbors think! I'll post more pics when she's done.
Still working on PEACE ...
still missing something ...
I LOVE PPF ... it's an all week thing for me! thx for stopping by ...

ReplyDeletejust lovely! :-)
ReplyDeletevery creative work!
ReplyDeleteOh I love your slice of watermelon..it gives a fruity splash of colour wherever it goes :) Looking forward to seeing how your chair turns out.....lovely to know its getting an "up-do" rather than being dumped! Nice to meet you through PPF :)
ReplyDeleteI love the reversible watermelon. Your chair looks amazing can't wait to see it done. Happy PPF! Theresa
ReplyDeleteWe're thrilled you are loving PPF and I am fascinated by all the neat things you are creating! You must show us the chair when it is in the garden!
ReplyDeleteThe watermelon (and seeds - lol - d'uh) turned out wonderfully!
I could sure go for a slice of summer right about now!

It is a very creative and original job. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI loved your watermelon before it was finished and now I really love it!
ReplyDelete"Chairaholic" that is so funny. I'd collect oodles of chairs, too, if I had a place for them. I'm always tempted when I see one on the curb on trash day. Paint can transform anything! This one will be wonderful as yard art!
Turned out beautiful, now I want watermelon.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out beautiful. I want watermelon now, my mouth is watering.
ReplyDeleteThe chair is going to be outsanding!! can't wait to see it !!
ReplyDeleteYour watermelon looks great! Yummm... Makes me want summer to come! Can't wait! Love your chair. I too have all different color kitchen chairs!
ReplyDeleteI love your plans for this chair. I think it will be great yard art!
ReplyDeleteI love that the watermelon has two sides to show! :) The chair is fantastic! What a cool idea. Can't wait to see the photo of it finished and placed outside!
ReplyDeleteI swear. I wish I was your neighbor. You should see what I did to the back of my house...
ReplyDeleteI love color, color everywhere :)
What a great idea for the watermelon - thats definitely thinking outside the box! I love the chair too and looking forward to seeing it in its final destination!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your art its all amazing and look forward to see how the chair progresses. Annette x
ReplyDeleteGreat colors on the peace sign! The only thing I could think of to add to it is to maybe outline the letters?
