Paint, Rust, and Events

I've been playing with paint and rust.



Remember the white iron urn I asked you about recently?




I added a bit more texture, and, color.




I used layers of my homemade paint from the Farragoz course, along with a few tricks of my own. Note the rusty spots.




I gave this birdbath a slightly different look.












Things are getting real busy around here.  I have several events on the horizon.  I'll post all the details soon.

Here are a few of the things that'll be keeping me busy.
  1. I'm teaching a painting workshop later this month.
  2. I'll be a vendor at the fabulous "Hunt and Gather" market this June, in Crown Point, IN.
  3. I'll be selling at my friend Traci's "Three French Hens" market in July.  I'll be teaching a mini workshop at the luncheon that day as well.
Oh, yes.  I'm having a sale this Saturday.

See ya soon.

  7. Love anything aged, but you know that about me already. So wish I lived near to watch in in action at your event in June :)

    Thank you Rosemary for taking the time to visit my crusty lantern aged gracefully by the sea.

  8. Oh I wish I lived closer to you. I would take your workshops in a heartbeat. Your crusty aged finishes are getting better all the time, and they look authentically old. Good luck with your upcoming shows.
