French "Country Style" Sofa & Chair #2
Fabric for the Sofa & Chair - Acrylic Painting - 24"x24" By Mary Maki RaeWe're nearing the completion of this long - albiet absorbing - project-! We're learning some new techniques and procedures - from installing springs - to nailing in webbing - to the classic use of Horse Hair for padding. An Upholstered Piece of Furniture seems simple on the surface - but underneath are many layer of supporting materials. We learned that they need to be applied in a precise method and in a certain order.
It's a long, Classical Process, but well worth the End Result - Which will be not only a Great looking Chair - but a Comfortable one as well, that will last for many years to come-!
