I thought of this one while I was trying to get to sleep one night recently.
I designed a gluing template in Affinity Designer and used some small sticks I purchased from a craft store.
Here are three of the first six chairs waiting for seats bottoms to be installed.
Three down and nine more to go.
I used some construction stakes glued together to build the frame of the assemblage box.
I used 2.5 x .5-inch poplar for the outsides of the frame.
I painted the finished assemblage frame/box with a white undercoat.
The top and outsides have been painted a cream color.
Here is a hanging light bulb I sculpted from a small section of round dowel. The wire is from some old Christmas tree lights.
Painted and ready to be installed at the top inside of the box.
After painting the inside of the box a light blue I poured some light green on the bottom and let it run over the side.
All twelve tiny chairs waiting to be dipped in some paint.
Here it is with the hanging light bulb and a sofa figure installed.
The first two chairs put in place. I used tweezers to immerse each chair in a small jar of yellow paint. After letting some of the paint drip back into the jar I placed them on the sofa figure and let them drip over each other. The paint acts to glue the chairs in place.
Eleven yellow chairs and one white chair. The white chair is the only one that I painted and let dry before dipping the legs in black paint then just the back of the chair in some white paint to help it stick in place and drip some more.
Here is a slice of cake made from a piece of round dowel that was first painted pink then some yellow tape what added to mask some of the pink then some brown paint was painted for the chocolate frosting.
Finished with the slice of cake and a tiny bowling ball added.
