Little 'metal' tables


I've been having quite a lot of fun making these little tables.


Slightly rusty.


Galvanised.


Rusty.

And a big brother to go with the rusty one.

I think the slightly rusty one looks like it belongs here in the shabby house. The little 'Statue of Liberty' came from a tiny snowglobe that belonged to Liberty. She was absolutely heartbroken when she dropped the globe and it smashed into a million pieces...I, however, was rather happy to see that tiny little statue.
I've had a LOT of computer trouble in the past week which is why you haven't heard much from me. Of course having no computer has meant that I've had more time to make things...more to show you soon!

    I just love your tables, very french and very Brocante (they would look nice there, maybe on the roof terrace of my Brocante-store). May I ask, how you made them?

    They're great Mercedes! Are you using florist wire for the legs? Maybe you would consider posting a tutorial (hint-hint)...
