First I unscrewed and re-upholstered the chair seat. Then I spray-painted all the wood black (removing the new seat, of course!)Next I created the wings from fabric, inserting wire along the edges and stiffening the cloth with a hardener and some glue. Then I attached the wings and viola!
Wing Back Chair: Black Swallowtail, Papilio polyxenes
Wooeee! That looks great! I got the LAST chair they had --- as homely as the day is long. It's second coat is drying now; then comes the beauty treatment. Can't wait to see them all together.
