Quick update, 2nd versions.
I haven’t been in the best mood the last couple weeks/months, so I haven’t really been motivated to do large projects for my new place. I have a really great TV stand planned and some book shelves, but can’t really get off my ass to go buy materials or drive the 5 miles to my dad’s garage where I do woodwork. I’ve also been spending more time playing music and writing. I did just finish a couple woodworking projects though. My sis just got into a graduate program at USC (boo USC, congrats Jen) and needs some awesome new apartment stuff. So I made a clock and a side table. They are depicted here:
You have to imagine the side table with the protective film off and not in kitchen lighting. It’s a darker purple, almost a plum. The side table is version 2 of the inner-lit side table I made last December. This version adds a lower shelf and a lower cost of materials. I also made it cleaner and faster since I invested $150 in a sliding compound power miter saw.
The clock is number 4 in the series of Shit Box Clocks. The only difference is a slight reduction in size (these things are made of scrap plywood and I used what I had left). I also added stitching around the border for texture using some twine I had left over from my flexi popsicle stick lamp. I totally stole the idea from Monica of Paper Cut Industries. She’s great at mixing media in her papergoods, so I had to rip that idea off. Both the Clock and the table are dark violet top coat on a satin black base coat. They’re a lot darker in mellow light and very violet in direct light.
So yeah, that’s what I got right now. I need to find more inspiration and work on some projects instead of sitting around watching all 5 seasons of The Office over and over again. Ta ta for now bitches.
