Very nice job Berry. You can reconnect using your old account but you'll have to wait for Cricket to return from her personal leave. She'll be able to give you a temporary password for your oldhudson account.
Wedding Items
My 37 year old daughter was married last weekend (Jan 4). I'm over the moon, they've been a couple for 16 years so I wondered if this day would ever arrive.
Anyway I made a couple of items for the event. I scrolled a cake topper, a surprise her mother and I thought would be fun.
The other item is an alternative wedding guest book. She sent me a picture of one from theknot.com. Basically it’s a picture frame with a backer and a glass front – creating a cavity between the two. Guests sign a wooden heart and drop them in. When they ask I’ll complete the frame so it can be hung. I scrolled between 66 hearts from 1/8 baltic birch plywood. The frame is cherry, 17 x 14.5
I wanted a frame that could be “mechanically” fastened so that if at some point they wanted to open the unit and move the hearts around it could be done. I looked at joint choices and choose a mitered half-lap joint. I’d never made one before – an opportunity to try something new. The corners are held together with 1/8" dowels.
And I had to make an easel to hold 'guest book'.
I couldn't figure out how to get pics to appear next to the relevant copy? :frown: Anyway thanks for looking.
