Hi Everyone! It's Shirley- back again at Shelli's request!
Shelli asked me to post about my recent project
A Driftwood, Sunburst Mirror!!
So here she is!!! We are so proud of the mirror!
It's a labor of love, I'm truly amazed how an idea will come, then to see it come to fruition, it's so rewarding!! I must say that without my husband John, none of this would be possible.
Like I said before- I dream up these ideas, and he makes it happen!
Thanks John.
Chloe said, "mom your mirror is so pretty"
Had to be extra picky, choosing only smooth, long, round wood
John routing
We routed out a two inch section around the base, then nail gunned the first section!
Supplies
