I created this knife picture years ago and it's been part of our kitchen ever since. People often think there must be sentiment attached but really it's just a nice way of showing off some cute knives I found at a market. The box frame came from Corban & Blair. They're available in a few colours and are deep enough to house all kinds of treasures. I covered the backing board with thick white card, then attached a sheet of foam core and textured watercolour paper cut just a little smaller - this gives a nice raised effect to the composition. I prefer a hot glue gun to attach the knife handles but you could use super glue or a quality craft glue instead. And I suppose it goes without saying... but I will anyway, please, please don't do this to your Grandmother's heirloom knives as they glue is not awfully kind to the handles. Save the good ones for best and scour junk shops or flea markets for your art instead.
Hi ,
ReplyDeleteWe sell custom made sofas and your advice on how to choose a sofa will be invaluable to the many women who visit my web site and stores. I have a section on sofa buying tips , which deals with the technical aspects of a sofa and what to look for. As for the aesthetic / practical reasons one buys a sofa, Frogs-sofas has none and a link to your page will be very helpful to visitors on my web site. I am not doing this to promote myself or my business but merely to provide visitors with good advice, which your page carries.
Please let me know if you would like us to include your link. We are on the first page of google for many of the search words that deal with sofa and lounges.
Cheers
