Old World Birdie

In my last post, I showed you how I altered a glittery dollar store ornament.  Well, I altered another one.  I used the homemade paint and gesso recipes from the FARRAGOZ course.



Just to review, here is where I started.



You can still see hints of the gold.  Layered on top, is a shade of grey, followed by gesso.






This brand new ornament is sporting a little "Old World" flavor now.





So, if you don't like a finish, change it.  That's my motto.




See ya soon.

  7. Rosemary - you are just amazing. Your ability to transform something glittery and gold into something old and worn is awesome! I just love how the gesso "pulls away" from the bird itself revealing the textures beneath. So cool! :)

  14. What cute idea. I love to find things to make them pretty. This would be a great idea to add to one of my classes that I teach to diyer's. Would you mind if I shared on my blog of your idea.
    Thanks
