This rustic little wooden table Is just perfect for indoor/outdoor photo sessions! Looks great next to a little bed! Ships within 1 week. Approx. Dimensions: 5-7 inches on diameter, & approx 4-5" tall. Legs are made from logs, and we try to keep all bark/moss as is for that rustic look. Due to the Natural wood used, no 2 will ever be exactly alike. Wood logs/slabs vary. Log legs are screwed in FROM THE TOP JUST like in the IMAGES for added stability. You will see screws like in the images. The table in the images is not the table that will be sent to you, these are made to order and I will create one especially for you! For photography prop use only, with an adult. Never leave baby alone while using any prop. Blankets, greenery, infant outfits, etc. not included.

The secret to making a truly convincing fake tree is in the bark. It does not matter how shapely or nicely branched your cardboard or concrete construction is, if the bark texture is not right, the finished result will be disappointing.
The main focus of her work is anthropopressure, human impact on the environment, climate change and extinction of ecosystems. In her works she uses various media such as photography, sculpture, collage.
Other questions I received this week concerned the sculpting medium we use for our projects. There are many on the market. We use Abracadabra Sculpt. It is a two part epoxy putty (much the same consistency as plasticene I used as a kid). www.abracadabrasigns.com/smooth_and_sculpt/home It is mixed in equal quantities and then sculpted. Once it cures it is rock hard and durable! The sculpt is sold in kits in various sizes from two pounds to a hundred pounds (two five gallon buckets). The more you buy the less expensive it is per pound. We use a fair amount of it in our shop, so we buy it in one or two thousand pound lots (ten - twenty 100 lb kits) at a time. Is it expensive... I don't think so. A few dollars of sculpt will do many times that in sign work, making it a worthwhile expense! I put a thin coat over the mesh, and then allow it to cure. The next day the sculpting layer is done. For the tree bark I pressed on a layer of sculpt, then using crumpled heavy duty tinfoil I pressed in the bark texture. Lastly I used a sharpened stick to draw in the lines. A hint here would to to wet the tools or sculpt with water to prevent your tools from sticking. The last question we fielded this week concerned our paints. We use100 percent acrylic paints in our shop - all hand brushed. We tend to put the colors on nice and bright, then tone them down with glazes. We mix our own glazes using a clear base (without tint). We mix this clear base with the acrylic paints we have on hand at a ratio of 50% clear to 50% paint and then add a teen bit of water to make it flow. We slop this on and then wipe it down with a soft shop rage to remove the glaze from the higher areas, leaving it in the crevices and dips. We like to work from dark to light adding as many layers of transparent glaze as we need - generally two - five coats of color. The brighter the base coats the more vibrant the piece will be when it is done. Below is a picture of the horse sign with the base coats on. It's just too much as it is now. In a day or two it will look great as the other colors are layered on. Stay tuned... -dan
Painting items from nature can be a rewarding task, particularly when you finish painting and discover what you have created with brushes and paints looks just like what you see out your window.

The past few months I have been experimenting with using white willow bark (salix alba) instead of NSAIDs for my menstrual cramps. I believe it is a bit controversial given that a lot of people are worried about salicylates these days, but I have had a good experience and wanted to pass along what I have learned. Why are NSAIDs not allowed on the paleo autoimmune ...
