A Comic Creation!
This is definitely my new favourite, although I'm not sure the photo's do it justice! I fell in love with this 60's retro table as soon as I saw it back in the summer, it's the shape of the top and legs I like, it just had something about it that made me notice it even with a pile of other stuff stacked on top!
I knew I wanted to put something a bit unusual on it, to make it modern but also link it to the 60's and 70's. I had already bought some 1979 Beano's and had been desperate to use them for a while, so I needed no excuse!
H 24.5cm, W 67.5cm, D 38cm
The comics are slightly brown with age which I think adds to the character and I only used Dennis the Menace and Gnasher because they were my favourite, although I have lots of other characters I'm sure I will be tempted to use on other pieces! Watch this space!

Todays piece was brought to you by the letters EL and F!
I think this desk and chair has tipped me over the edge, I have been looking at the alphabet so long I'm now quoting Sesame Street!
Initially I was going to cover this pine desk and chair with old Beano's but after some market research (my sister!) I decided it was probably too grown up for little people so I used a childrens picture dictionary instead! (The Beano's are now being used on a retro coffee table so they can be appreciated by us older lot!)
I have tried to keep it so you can read as much of the book as possible, the desk top shows the letters A to P and the chair Q to Z. I matched it with an orange paint to keep it bright and cheery and unisex so it can be kept and passed on.

Crocadon Sawmill Producers Market
I would like to say a huge thankyou to everyone who came out to support the first Crocadon Sawmill Producers Market. What a fantastic venue, with fantastic people topped off by fantastic weather! I also sold a couple of pieces which is a bonus!
There was a lovely atmosphere with people enjoying the BBQ and music outside and a lovely mix of stalls from amazing cupcakes and food, to wood, jewellery, artwork, plants, organic veg. and more!
I will definitely be going back for their next market on Saturday 19th November so I hope to see you there!

Life and Times at the Rovers Return
I made this for the Coronation Street lovers out there! I don't watch it but my Nan is a lifetime fan and could name everyone on the tray!
The tray has a fair amount of history too! I bought it in a set of three different sizes and apparently they were made by a prisoner of war in Ashburton, Devon and bought by a husband as a gift for his wife - I love a bit of social history!
H 32cm, W 57cm, D 3cm
I have left the wooden surround as it is beautifully made and I felt it should be seen, I couldn't face painting it after someone had put so much work into it so I gave it a gentle sand and treated it to some wood polish.
Price £20 SOLD

Arbuckle's Table
I must admit I'd never heard of Roy Rogers until I bought this annual, I certainly had no idea he was a real person! I have since learnt that he has a horse named Trigger and is a Wild West hero but that's where my knowledge ends!
I love the effect the comic squares give on this table, you can even read a page of the story on the top!
It was great to make something aimed more at the men in our lives - maybe a brother or son going to uni!

Fifties Fancies
My mum gave me a 1950's Good Housekeeping cookbook that she had kept in the cupboard for years. Some of the recipes are good old fashionned home cooking, some bizarre and some politically incorrect!
I had two identical kitchen stools in stock so decided to decorate this one using cakes and all the sweet yummy stuff!
I love this picture of the perfect 1950's housewife baking cakes for her husband, waiting for him to arrive home with a 'warm smile on her face and a sincerity in her desire to please him!' Those were the days!

Laughter is the best medicine
I found a tiny 1950's junior first aid book a few months ago now and fell in love with it! Last week I finally found the perfect piece to decorate with it and I love the almost comic style effect. The pages are quite aged and mottled and I think this adds to the 50's block colours.
Where else could you find a cupboard to store your medical supplies that also gives you advice at the same time! (although i'm not sure it's that current, the pictures might make you laugh and, as the saying goes...)

1970's Britain
This is a table I rescued a while ago, it was coated in goodness knows how many coats of thick yellow varnish and looking very sorry for itself!
After spending a (long!) while sanding I decided to cover it with an old 1970's AA map book, leaving the wooden ends and support as a contrast.
H 57cm, W 60.5cm, D 28cm
The shape of the sides and the height make it completely different to any other table I have created so far.
You could while away the hours trying to find where you live! I'll give you a clue, Plymouth and Exeter are (of course) on the top!

Please come along and support me at my first craft fayre!
It's a bit short notice but I managed to get a table last minute and I'm very excited to see what people think of my pieces!
It's being held at the University of Plymouth, Roland Levinsky Building from 10.30 - 3.30pm and it's free admission!
I hate to use the 'C' word so early, but you never know you just might find that perfect Christmas present!

English Flower Tea!
Being a novice gardener I should probably have read this book rather than decorate a table with it, but then what are mum's for!
The different shades of green create a patchwork effect highlighted by the pinks and purples of the flowers, I think it's my prettiest piece so far!

My second commission complete! I am really pleased with this one, I think it makes a very ordinary music stand truly unique!
The music stand and Beatles book were provided by the client and I just did the rest!
I love the idea of being able to see your favourite band's pictures while you play their music, rather than them all being hidden away in a book on a dusty bookshelf!

Using your loaf!
This is my first commissioned piece and to say I was nervous is an understatement! My friend wanted something for her mums new country kitchen, she provided the book and it was up to me to choose the piece!
I found a plain wooden bread bin and covered it with the brilliant old 1950's cookbook, using other old recipe book pictures for the inside. I matched the handle and hinge to the colour of the stripes on the pages.
H 22.5cm, W 44cm, D 24cm
I love the fact that the book was well loved and complete with all the usual cookery stains, it makes a completely personal piece!

Bespoke items
I keep a stock of items that I have been inspired to create which would make brilliant gifts for that special person or maybe just a unique addition to your home but also I would love to create a piece just for you!
Maybe you are looking for a certain piece of furniture but can’t find what you want, let me know and I can source it and cover it with whatever you like! Or maybe you have a favourite book or piece of furniture, I can use it to create something just for you!
I currently have two commissions on the go, a breadbin (sourced by me) for my friends mums birthday which I am covering with one of her old cookery books, and a wooden music stand covered with a Beatles book both provided by the client. I have just sourced a lovely old fashioned childrens desk and chair that I can't wait to get my hands on!
These days a lot of people seem to buy what they want themselves so buying gifts for a 21st, 40th, 50th, 90th etc can be really tricky, why not give something completely unique rather than the usual shirt or slippers!
I can use photo’s if they are copied on a laser printer so the possibilities are endless. From a tray for great grandma covered with 90th birthday party pictures or photo’s of grandchildren to a coffee table covered with wedding photo’s, let’s face it we spend too much on wedding photo’s to keep them in an album tidied away in a drawer!
I hope you like my pieces as much as I like creating them!

NOW That's What I Call Mag. Rack 2011!
Remember those old magazines racks everyone seemed to have back in the Nineties? Well I've rescued one and given it some street cred for 2011!
I've coverered it with gig and tour ads from my husbands recent NME magazines (I did ask first!) but have left the knobs in their original state as I like the contrast between the old and new.
H 41cm, W 50cm, D 19.5cm
This piece took an age to make, I probably should have painted the spindles but for some mad reason decided to cover them instead! I do however think the final effect is worth all the effort but I might just paint the spindles next time!

What do you call that then?
This was an odd little piece when I got it, I wasn't quite sure what it was. I came to the conclusion that it was a spice rack come utensil/key holder, so that's what it is! I didn't know what I wanted to cover this with, only that I wanted it to be something related to the kitchen.

This is the Table that Elf Built!
When I saw this table I had to buy it, it was the strangest table I had ever seen! Luckily I knew exactly what I was going to do with it and I had the perfect book!
My lovely sister had found a nursery rhyme book (slightly worse for wear) but with some brilliant pictures of old nursery rhymes from around the 1920's. I have covered the table top with the pictures and the legs with the nursery rhymes themselves.
The pot in the middle and the cross bars are painted with an old fashioned blue to match the time era of the pictures.

This (apart form the make-up mirror) was one of the fiddliest so far, but well worth it for the end result! Covered in Enid Blytons 'Sleepytime Tales' this was an old childrens wooden chair sitting very bare and lonely in the garden.
It has been covered with all three of the stories in the book and features many different interesting characters from lions to walking dominoes!

Welcome to ‘Second Chance by Elf’, unique pieces of functional art!
The name ‘Second Chance’ has two meanings, the first relates to me, Elf (Emma), and my second chance at life (long story!). The second relates to the furniture – the idea is to rescue lost and forgotten pieces of furniture and decorate them with lost and forgotten books to create one off pieces of art with a functional use. So much is thrown away in today’s society that to take a discarded and unloved piece and create something completely new and desirable is a real joy!
Each piece of furniture is matched with a book and, with quite a bit of elbow grease, transformed into something new and unique. The furniture is covered purely using the pages from the book (or series) and nothing else apart from, in some cases, paint. It is then given four coats of hardwearing satin varnish to withstand modern life!
Apart from the initial matching of book to furniture (all sourced locally) I don’t design each item at the start. It is an organic process that allows the piece to come together over time. The furniture is checked, undercoated, painted and then decorated. It can take anything from a couple of days to a week to finish each piece depending on size and complexity. The result is a completely one-off innovative piece of furniture unique to the buyer!
As paper is made of natural materials it behaves differently each time and gives you a natural finish that differs on each piece. Sometimes there are folds and creases in the paper much like natural leather.
I keep a stock of items that I have been inspired to create which would make brilliant gifts for that special person or maybe just a unique addition to your home. All of these can be found on my ‘Home’ page.
Bespoke items
I would love to create a piece just for you!
Maybe you are looking for a certain piece of furniture but can’t find what you want, let me know and I can source it and cover it with whatever you like! Or maybe you have a favourite book or piece of furniture, I can use it to create something just for you!
I currently have two commissions on the go, a breadbin (sourced by me) for my friends mums birthday which I am covering with one of her old cookery books, and a wooden music stand covered with a Beatles book both provided by the client.
These days a lot of people seem to buy what they want themselves so buying gifts for a 21st, 40th, 50th, 90th etc can be really tricky, why not give something completely unique rather than the usual shirt or slippers!
I can use photo’s if they are copied on a laser printer so the possibilities are endless. From a tray for great grandma covered with 90th birthday party pictures or photo’s of grandchildren to a coffee table covered with wedding photo’s, let’s face it we spend too much on wedding photo’s to keep them in an album tidied away in a drawer!
I hope you like my pieces as much as I like creating them!

I hope you like my pieces as much as I like creating them!
Love Emma x
