I just love these little concrete pumpkins. Great decor addition to an inside or outside tabletop.
They are available at Concrete Garden Supply in Greely Ontario Canada. Love this different style of pumpkin decor. They are made of concrete and exterior paint and seal, so they can go outside on a table or in the garden. Really like how they turned out. I started painting at Concrete Garden Supply in Greely Ontario Canada. I live here so that works! I went there to buy a sphere and we got talking and they asked if I would like to try out painting for them. So, I brought some items home and painted them. They were happy with it and asked me to paint for them. I paint all the custom orders and stock items. I absolutely love it there. I work the hours I want and pretty much paint what I want. Love the people and it has a great vibe. I am in my happy place. Thank you Fiona and Cory Rousson. So I managed to make a wooden cell phone holder/stand today. I busted the blade on my band saw and couldn't get the new one on. Then I was fiddling with the scroll saw blade and was having an issue with that. It wasn't a good blade day I have to say. Every day I have to say patience grasshopper. I was determined to get one done so I took out good old Jiggy, that is jigsaw, I name my tools.
I do have to make a few adjustments, like make a groove where the wire goes underneath a the end but other than that ,I am happy with it. I made it 8 1/2 " high because I have a big phone. The back piece is 6" so the angle is good. The second one will be easier. Of course I like to make my day interesting and do something I have never done so I want to give it that burn look. So that is tomorrow's test. Ha Ha this little tree looks slanted but it's not. I saw this on Pinterest and thought I would try it. I will use different wood next time. Easy enough to make. I cut this on my new band saw and it does the curves pretty well. I did, however, break the blade on the band saw. Apparently you have to break in a new blade, who knew. All part of learning how to use all my new tools.
I made these trees for my nephew. They are easy enough but not so interesting for me to make. I am still getting used to my new tools and its a learning curve. You get to know what you want to make and what makes you happy. I have decided to try things on a smaller scale.
Some Gals like diamonds and they are a girl's best friend but I am so excited over my new sander. This will make my wood projects so much easier. I have been doing the sanding by hand. I have graduated!
