The Back Drop Again....

I did some more detailing on the back drop yesterday afternoon. I think I am much closer to the real one now.

After I finish it and install it there appears to be an artificial tree that goes on the right side of the painting. It seems to hang over part of the painting. Here we go again. Now I have to get out all of the plant materials and have a go at reproducing the tree.

I need to make some more Victorian Chrysenbon chairs. The ladder backs look strange in this setting.

This morning I put the fancy work on most of the counters and shelves. I still have to do all of the sanding and varnishing. The small counter on the top left still doesn't have trim on it. That shows you what a difference a little trim can make. All of the pieces were like that to begin with. I need to finish that one then I can get on to the last part tomorrow.

I did get two brown sweaters, two shirts and a couple of neckties made this afternoon at the Wednesday Witches' mini meeting. I still have a LOT of those to do.

The last photo for today is entitled "Still Life With Part of a Cat". This is what I have to contend with. Mookie decided he wanted to help....... That's what happens when a room box opens from the top. He hops over a wall and makes himself part of the photo that I am trying to take. He also likes to help stain and varnish. It's hard trying to hold off the cat with one hand and wipe on stain with the other. Now do you see why I don't get things done very fast. This helpfulness is going to have to come to a stop! Did I mention that he knows how to open doors in the real house? It is hard to keep him out of anything that he sets his mind to invade.

I'm off to drag Mookie out of the haberdashery now. See you tomorrow.
