Chairways to heaven







 What a beauty for a wreck of a chair!
I was granted this amazing artifact from a benefactor mentioned in the story of the  Iron Table
so thanks for making all this possible :)


So the idea I had was to mix this golden backrest on it, soo-oo the question is.. Will it blend?


 A custom peg from a drumstick and a first fit... I've created a monster! :D


 Little bit of adjustments to the backrest and the angle of the chair, since the golden piece was simply too wide from the shoulders.


 Then closing all the cracks to make it last, and replacing every missing piece of wood with brass.









Scraping off rust from an iron thingy to get some tone to the golden paint to make the backrest to look just little less like plastic.


 Then getting things together and adding a surface finishing by oiling the iron thingy to get the color of the rust to the oily rag to give the chair a reddish tan!

 Selecting some pieces for the small drink-stand neccessary for this kind of chairs...


Peeling of the original faux-leather coating and saving these decent fillings.
 I will just add little bit more cotton and a thick slab of hemp fiber for vigorous softness, and then I was gonna cover it with...


This!
Ha-ha.. I just have to try.. I have never seen a furniture with fur and even thou this fine fur coat has been in our kin much longer than me, nobody is willing to wear it.. 
Honestly I have no idea how will it be like as an upholstery fabric.. feminine, posh, upscale, porny...? We'll see!


Saluting the fusion with an old electric wire.


Commemorating the leftovers.


So what do you think, does fur and steampunk go together?
