Sewing Seat with hinged top

New project, old ideas. Drop Cloth, stencils, 

ASCP Provence, clear wax.

Sewing Seat, hinged top

...the process, ASCP Provence with clear wax

drop cloth seat cover (used PowerShot carefully this time. 
Used old seat cover as a pattern, stapled (one per centre, pulling taunt 
and repeat as needed around all edges in alternating turns).

Poked around to find hinge holes under cavnas, screwed hinges to top and then to base (thank you DH).

Used ASCP and stencilled three fleur de lis.

Tried out a few vignette variations. That was fun. My fav were the additions of French Ivory smalls.

These two blogs inspired me months ago, Uniquely Chic  French Influenced Striped Burlap Sewing Seat and Twig Studios Tutorial on painting strips/words on heissen.
