Ode to Victoria

on


Here is my 'photo-ode' to Queen Victoria!  
This miniature rocking chair pin cushion is made from a tin can.  The tin can has been carefully cut and bent and curled into the shape of a chair and then painted black.  I used to study and admire this little chair when I visited my grandparents' house as a kid.  I found the brooch at an antique shop near my home.  It's patiently waiting to be a part of something beautiful.





 


I had a great Victoria Day weekend spent with friends and family.
Looking forward to tackling the week ahead!

      Travis, thanks for checking out my blog! About the chair - I believe a friend/co-worker of my grandpa made it. It was a hobby of his and made both a chair and a stool for my grandpa. Quite amazing isn't it?
