Vintage Wood Block Vase-October

Description

This all upcycled wood vase is made from a vintage building block. It has been covered with original images from a large print of a perpetual calendar I got at one of those obscenely expensive specialty boutiques. I will be listing November and December also and I can make one of each month but only one so first come, first serve! Very cool and all in latin so I don't understand any of it except they are exerpts from this huge perpetual calendar. Perfect for a birthday or anniversary. This is an ideal gift for either sex! There is a hole drilled in the top and a vintage 4" glass test tube inserted. (I do not have a drill press-all holes are drilled by hand and may be a bit crooked at times) This is large enough for a single flower or remove the tube and use it for a pencil holder. I then sand all the edges and add a rubbing of oil pastel paint. Finally, a coat of sealer and two finishing satin finish coats are applied. This single block measures approx.2.75 X 2.50 X 1.25. Everything used to make this item has been upcycled including the glue and spray finish!
