An altar

This is what I've gotten done today, not too much :)
On the left there's a singing bowl with its pillow and the thing on the right has a name and purpose, but have happily forgotten it :D

I also made a chair from Cynthia Howe's kit

It still needs the fabric, but I'm not sure it will stay in this room. I love the shape and think that it would fit so nicely, but the room is quite small and I think that a low table and lots of pillows would be more accurate, have to ask my daughter when she comes home.

Did some painting today, the sideboard and fireplace for the vampire room are ready and I've ordered a chair from Kris, it's going to be fabulous :) Now just have to get that room done :D

Now off to bed, I'm totally ready to go to sleep so nighty night to you all, sweet dreams :)

  1. El aparador con los detalles le va fenomnal a esa habitación. Creo que la idea de los almohadones por el suelo es mejor que la silla, aunque te ha quedado muy bien. Ya veremos que dice tu hija. Besos Clara

  11. La silla es una preciosidad, pero si dices que no tienes suficiente sitio, la alternativa de la mesita baja con los almohadone puede ser muy buena solución.
    Auque la ultima palabra la tenga que tener tu hija, jaja.

  16. I LOVE the altar, Ira! Every little bit! You have been very clever in the construction of the table! Those little artifacts are amazing! I see you have got the Tibetan/ Himalayan singing bowls. I understand though that the Tibetans don't use them though ..haha! Some Buddhists used these bowls but the practice here is quite rare.

    The "vase" is an urn? I once researched on the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama and found teh following information on the Golden Urn: In Tibet, children believed to be the reincarnations of the Dalai Lama or the Panchen Lama are identified by a lottery method, where names of competing candidates are written on folded slips of paper placed in a golden urn. This controversial method originated from a decree passed by Emperor Qianlong in 1792. There are two Golden Urns issued by the Emperor. One is enshrined in Jokhnag Temple in Lhasa for choosing Dalai and Panchen Lama reincarnations, the other is in Yonghe Palance, or Lama Temple, in Beijing for choosing Mongolian Khutughtu reincarnations

    This method of selection is not always approved by the Government of Tibet in Exile"

    I just cut and paste the above from a post I made in April last year. I owned 2 urns fairly similar to yours :).
