the handmade bricks *needed* to be painted to have a depth effect. I want this room top be beautiful and unique but I also want to look real. Real fireplace has a dust left from the fire... mine has it too!*grin*
Below is a close up of the bricks.... I am a happy girl today!*grin*
I am about to stain the floors , as soon I have the chance but because the only thing I have not made yet was the wall sconces , I decided to go ahead and get started..... here is the beginning... I twisted the copper wire to create the *body* and welded for a base. The wood in the back has a groove and I will add apoxie to set the light bulb.... the wood will be cut and used to look like a candle.
