Mary's addition and etc
I love your addition Mary, the way that the flowers tie in to Ice's border is great. It is just so exciting to see each round. Here is what I have been doing in between my rounds. The darker one is a refinish of a Singer 301 case. The fabric was in terrible shape and there was water damage, so I stripped it, sanded it, stained it, and now the first coats of poly are on the outside. I'll be decoupaging the inside with MCM paper overlaid with old simplicity patterns to give the sides some structure as the exterior sides are of thinner wood. The green one is belongs to a Singer 185j, the portable green full-size workhorse, which I was lucky enough to find with the wood case not the plastic one. The wood case had fallen apart, so I ripped what was left of the fabric and paper, sanded, and am starting a finish that is used on high-end guitars, here is the first section with the deep green stain on the outside base. Can't wait to see how awesome this case will turn out. Hugs all!
