Bed

[helblonde]

SInce we were cutting down the side rails of the bed anyway (they were too tall, which made getting out of bed suck), I decided to repaint them entirely. This go round, I decided to go with designs from the Hours of the Duc d'Berry.

The second coat of primer and the first coat of paint went on tonight. Tomorrow I'll see whether I need to lay down another background coat or whether I can skip ahead to the first round of goldwork and lay the foundation for the figures. I think it will need one more coat than I expected to get the details that I want on the figures.

Later I need to iron out what exactly I want to do with the head and foot boards. And make some bags so we stop scraping the crap out of everything.

oh man, that sounds awesome!!

So, with your busy schedules, should I make an appointment with Martin to do the poles before the pavilion gets here?

Yep. We need to get our poles, too.
