Spring Fling - fireplace sneak peek


otterine

Last year, I shared the final chimney build for the Spring Fling, but this year I'll have to keep most of it under wraps. But, I can show you the initial structure.

I started with regular white stryofoam for the side walls since it was easy to cut and to shape with sandpaper. I added builders foam across the front only because I had the perfect sized scrap for the opening. The back and upper sides are foam core board and the upper front is balsa...a little bit of everything from the scrap box.

The back of the fireplace is made from egg carton bricks placed in a herringbone pattern. As I had done for the Heritage chimney, I used a printed grid to help keep the pattern consistent.

Ok, that's enough...pull the curtain closed. :hidebhind: You'll see it again in September.

As always, AWESOME !! Just know it will be a knock-your-eyes-out stunner of a Fling, Brae. I always look sooo forward to your entries, and you are such a sweetie to always share your how-to's with the rest of us. Most grateful for that. ♥ Love to see the possibilities, and you never, ever disappoint with the new and different ways to achieve a certain 'look'. Big {{hugs}}
