Bird prints, completed

by brae Email

In an earlier post, I wrote about making a set of nine vintage bird prints from images I found on etsy from A History of British Birds, published in the 1850s by Rev. Francis Orpen Morris.  I finally finished making the tiny frames.  I had a fair amount of waste wood left over, even with the use of an Easy Cutter, because the frames had to be as close in size as possible since I wanted to hang them as a set.

Here they are above the sideboard in the kitchen's dining area.  The box is a silver and Swarovski crystal charm by Jolee's Jewels and it opens.  The shell is real, but this is the only way I can display it since there are holes drilled through it to string on a necklace.


The sideboard is from the same Mayberry Street set as the dining chairs that I had modified in a previous post.

After new coat of paint (before painting the hardware silver).

Brae, Your house is amazing. The details make it look so real. I just love looking at all your pictures. I can't wait to see when you have the whole house done.

The sink came out amazing. I just can't even come up with these ideas.

You are truly talented.
