I apologize for the crazy blocking of this post. All the pictures were placed prior to my description.
One lazy Saturday afternoon, Mr. Thrifty walked into the living room and was putting on his dress shirt. When his arm came out, it caught my beautiful grey lady bust. To the ground she toppled. I was devastated! The bottom of the bust broke in a million pieces. Fortunately, only the base broke off.
It just so happened that I picked up a black metal ornate round base for a dollar at an estate sale the week before. I hoped that I could bring her back to life so to speak.
Mr. Thrifty took the bust out to the garage and using his roto tool, he cleaned up the jagged base. Then, he cut a round disk out of scrap wood and drilled a hole in the middle. I painted the wood base black and he screwed the bust onto it. I think my salvaged lady came out quite nice. Here is a picture of her before the fall.
