Here is my chair so far!
You can see that I sanded a bunch off of the high points of the scrolls and hen even on the edges and legs. I am collaging the back there and will be adding a few other things yet......I want to add some buttons and threads....the collage contains some cheesecloth,vintage ledger papers and fabric(flowers) from the chair seat that I recovered as well. Now that is a rummage sale find right? I am having fun with this little project and think it will be a fun altered piece of furniture. :0) Have a great week everyone. Hugs,Patti

I love that it has the perfect inset to do a collage in. It is like it was waiting for an artist to come and claim it. Thanks for sharing Patti. :)

Patti, you are soooooo creative! Love what you are doing with your rummage treasure. (Hint, hint - I think it would look beautiful in MY house...lol!) Aren't rummages fun? Wish we lived a little closer so we could go together.

Ooooh Patti, this chair is way too cool! Talk about finding a diamond in the rough! I would never have thought to alter a "standard" size chair - you are so clever!
Thanks for asking about George and Mom - both are hangin' in there.
Love,
Barb

Your chair AND the birds are wonderful! Thanks for sending me the link to see your party of birds. I'll include them in the Picasa web album of all the other birds (accessed through the sidebar of my blog).
