Laundry Hamper

Well today's post is not a painting but a project I worked on while painting. I thought I would show y'all the hamper I created for my bathroom. I had been wanting to make my own hamper for a while and finally got around to doing it last year.
 
I didn't really care for the wicker or metal lined hampers I had seen while perusing store aisles. I wanted something simple and something I knew I would like. So I repurposed the wood I had used for supports on old paintings and leftover wood I had accumulated during school. I sanded them down, I created the design for the top, used a bluish black color for the final version of the text, and sealed it with a waterproof varnish.
