Stumped

Once upon a time, Frog and Toad lived at The Green Room Theatre. And I decided they each deserved a chair with a bit of style. So I made a set of tree seats.

1. Modify an existing chair by adding a wood-framed base. Attach chicken wire.

2. Dip muslin in diluted carpenter's glue. The bark texture was created by wringing out the fabric and stapling before smoothing out the crinkles. (The smooth edge on top was achieved by stapling on the back side, then folding the piece over.) Thinner strips were used for the back of the chair.

3. Paint chair, accenting the highlights and shadows with different shades.

4. Find a 6'3" Frog. Toad will probably follow shortly.

Enjoy!
