Shed Plan

Today I have a very special giveaway from my good friend Taylor, from Taylors Eclectic!

I adore Taylors work because it is:

a. beautiful
b. meticulously hand crafted
c. incredibly unique!

I asked Taylor to talk a little about her process and technique, here is what she had to say:

"I spent many months developing my paper sculpting process. It is not paper mache. It is not paper stretching. It is not decoupage. What is it? Its my own specialized process. Its my own specialized sealants. Its a piece of jewelry with an obsessive attention to detail and hours of hand sculpting. Working in intricate detail has a strangely calming effect on me."

Even though each piece contains paper, they are all completely waterproof, due to Taylors sealant process.  

Pretty neat, huh?

So in honor of Valentines Day, We are giving away one of my favorite items from her shop, a pair of her heart studs 




I love them all, and couldnt decide what color, so the winner will get their choice of one color! Mint, Black, Red, Pink, Purple or White

Some of my other favorite items from her shop include:

sterling silver tree necklace

petite lemon grove necklace

cherry blossom statement cuff

Love them all!

I was able to meet up with Taylor while in MD for Christmas and it was so fun talking about her process. Taylor meticulously crafts and puts a lot of TLC into each piece!

Will recently completed this nice jewelry box for a client to give to his wife for Christmas ... It was a surprise, but the cats out of the bag by now Im sure ... It was a nice little project ....Click the photos to enlarge them ... Above is the back side ...
From the front .... We used a piece of figured cherry left from the new trestle table we delivered the weekend before Christmas ... The square trays are about an inch tall and slide side to side or lift out easily ... The mirror was a last minute addition ...
Will did the walnut inlay with the initials on the cnc ...
When he glued up the box, we werent sure whether the outside was to be stained or not. Since the bottom of the drawer and the top compartment are covered with a suede like fabric, we shellacked the interior before the glue up and taped it off for staining and finishing the outside ...
Will fitted up the drawer and installed the hinges before disassembling the box for finishing ...
The dividers, taped off
From the front before finishing ... Weve got a CAD drawing somewhere ... I think its about 10 x 14 x 7 high
