Made an inglenook fireplace

Inglenook ironwork made out of fimo.
Even got my 7yr old grandaughter helping.
This was a challenge. Again using my power tools. I am getting used to using them. Certainly makes things quicker to make.
I built the fireplace recessed into a chimney breast up to the ceiling. Also added a shelf to add interest.
My usual impatience on the glue paid dear! The whole lot collapsed on moving it so had to start again!
Then I decided to save money once again and make an Inglenook iron fire with spit for meat. This I made with fimo. Very fidldly to do. Needed to use a lot of clamps to hold in place until glue set overnight. Quite pleased with it. Added some twigs and away we go.
