Wooden Arbor

This arbor was contructed from brand new lumber. The design called for aged timbers found on a Greek beach exposed to the elements. I used a chisel and hammer to distress the lumber and a few different shades of grey paint to give it the color of sun-bleached drift wood.

British dish soap label

Origionally, I wanted to simply print out a copy of a British dish soap label and glue it onto a cheap bottle from a local grocery store. None of the images I found would print clearly enough, so I copied/traced the design in Vectorworks. The resulting image printed very clearly and I decoupaged it onto an American bottle of dish soap which had its label removed.

Rock

This rock was designed for FST's production of Shirley Valentine. The designer provided a 1/2" scale model including a little rock made from beaded styrofoam. I decided to build a base out of 1x3's and plywood to make the rock as sturdy as possible. 3" thick beaded styrofoam was attaced to the sides and the shape of the rock was carved out using hand saws and files. Cheesecloth and glue were then used to plaster the rock giving it a hard shell. The coloring was chosen by looking at pictures of rocky shoelines from Greece.
