Bathroom Sink

The next piece I made for the bathroom was the sink.  To be honest I didn’t know what I would do for the sink.  I looked at pictures on line but I didn’t think my talents were able to bend foamcore into the sink parts I saw in the pictures.  I came up with an idea based on the finished tub/shower and began to cut the foamcore into the basic sheets I needed for the base, counter and back of the sink.  I didn’t want just a straight up box for the base so I angled the front inward to accommodate my doll’s feet as she stood close to the sink.  

I used myself as a guide by standing at my bathroom sink and seeing where the counter came up to my body and then stood Wiccah up and measured the counter based on this visual measurement. I covered all pieces in marble MacTac and glued the pieces together, finishing them with the black bump ribbon.

 

  

Thinking about what I would come up with to use as a sink bowl, I rummaged through a box of odd kitchen stuff and found a tin shell butter dish I had from years back.  It is silver with a shell glass dish that nests inside.  I took it apart and used the base as the sink bowl since it had small protruding feet and was stable as it sat on the sink’s counter.  I thought about dropping it flush with the counter like the bathtub, but I liked the look of it on top so I left it for the time being.  What’s nice is I can always cut the hole in the sink counter and drop it down if that is what I want in the end.  That’s the great thing about foamcore.  You can modify it without much trouble.

I had a bunch of ideas for the mirror but in the end went with a jewelry box I bought at the dollar store.  The lid is the mirror and is wood framed.  I took it apart and later used the divided box for a shelf in the bathroom.

  

As per the other pieces, I still have to make the faucet and taps and I think I will paint the mirror frame either black or silver to tie it in with the rest of the trim.  Otherwise I liked the look of the finished piece so far.

As always, let kindness and positive energy

fill your mind, body and soul.

Blessed Be, My Friends!
