Making progress on a project that's been underway for a long time now. Almost finished!
Sometimes i make something, think it's finished, then change my mind completely and do something different with the components. This is one of those times.

I found an old set of wooden drawers at a thrift store that seemed ripe for refinishing.
I decided to cover the surface of the frame with old newspaper... And by old, i really mean antique. These are actual issues of Scientific American from 1915! Some of the incredible images in the articles include early zeppelin flights and photos of the New York Subway System as it was being constructed. It might seem like i'm ruining these pieces of history by using them in a collage, but i prefer to think of it as immortalizing them.
They're going to need a bit of sanding first.
Featuring a story of the "Strategic Movements of the War" -- World War I.

Surface layers complete! Now to work on those drawers...
Just added the technological bits... Electrical capacitors as grass, and silicon chips as leaves.

Making leaves from silicon chips for the French Door Project.
Moving in to a new studio space. Looking forward to lots of fun new projects!
So far it looks so empty... but the French Door Project finally has a place to live. Hopefully this means it will get finished soon!
Just me and my French Door Project.
