Welcome to the new Kattegat blog address, slightly changed, but same old me! I ran out of picture space, hence a new blog, well, technically not, but you know what I mean.
I have been wanting to replace Sam's chair in his room for some time, and having a batch of 4 chairs bought from a neighbour some time ago for just £6, just stored in the garage, and plenty of old comic books, I thought that actually now was the time to get on and complete this project. The chairs are black, so I started by painting it with white emulsion. It gave it a brighter background on which to decoupage the pieces onto.
I choose an old 1976 comic book and cut out lots and lots of pieces. There was a comic strip in which a character was named Sammy, so that was quite appropriate. Then it was just a case of gluing and gluing, and after 3 evenings of sticky fingers, the chair was complete. That left 3 coats of varnish to be applied, and the chair is now happily at home tucked under Sammy's desk.
Have a lovely week ahead. I wonder what everyone will be watching on telly now that the Olympics is over for another 4 years, but I am sure the games in Rio de Janeiro will be just as spectacular as they have been here in London.
