How I Built an Arts and Crafts Mission Style Mirror Frame

Here’s the drawing I did of the lower corbels (not cowbells Ducky) the measurements are correct in the drawing but the proportions aren’t.

This is a painting I did that I placed in front of the mirror. It looks better than my shop wall.

I was looking at the photos from my laundry bench project and saw my mirror. So I decided to post it. You can see how it’s getting a darker patina over time.

The mirror is beveled with a 1-1/4” bevel.

This project was also posted at the disreputable web site.

Thanks for taking time from your hectic day to visit my project. Comments are always welcome.

I’ve had several requests through PM and comments to tell the story of how this painting came about. This is a screenshot of the story I sent to a friend on a private message.

My Version Of Christina In The Field.

She looked so young so I never got her phone number. She said she lived in the White House above the bluff. I would drive by those fields on my way home many times but I never saw her again. 

Luckily I never sold the painting and enjoy looking at it and remembering how it came about. 

That’s the story of how this painting was created. I hope I didn’t disappoint you.
