Does the 28th of January still count as the start of the year? No? Who cares - Happy new year! I really hope you're all safe and healthy...
Tired of how the World functions at this moment, I made a 2021 deal with myself: I'm concentrating on 'positives' and on what I can change, instead of being depressed about things I can't control. This has been working quite well I must say - I highly recommend it! By the way, how lucky are we to have a passion that requires us to stay home to practice it?
Here is a little update on what I have been working on in the past half year. It's not much unfortunately, as I have been extremely busy with work. Nevertheless, I really had fun working on these new additions to the tattoo shop.
I started with some details for the bathroom on the upper floor. I used polystyrene to create a door handle, a vanity sink faucet and a matching knob, which then I spray painted in black.
Next I built the bathroom vanity. For the sink I used polystyrene, which I spray painted and for the vanity itself I used wood which I hand painted in brown.
I also built a door with a lock pocket on the side.
I cut some railings for the stairs, drilled a diagonal hole on the upper side of these for connecting them with a leather string to form the railing and started working on the main frame of the counter lighting.
I also built long tube hanging spot lights to attach to the main frame of the lighting.
Soldering the mini light bulbs was a real hassle.
Once the bulbs were set and the cabling was finished, I spray painted the lighting and the parts for the stair railing.
I drilled a little hole on each stair-step to house the railings.
I realized the sticks alone looked a bit simple, therefore I added and spray painted a little addition to the lower part of the railings.
The end result:
This is it for now, I'm going to work on some additional lighting soon. Until then, keep safe!
Best,
Susi
