Angel Makeover

I was in the zone with this transformation, before I realized I hadn't taken a before. Trust me, it was rather blah.



After I finished this angel, I just had to create a crown for her.  The angel is composition.  The crown is salvaged metal.  I just gave them the same finish.




I used the same homemade paint I used with the bird from my last post.  You can review that post HERE. However, I varied the consistency with each layer.




Distressing here and there gave me the look I wanted.  I LUV it.




While I was at it, I painted this cross.









I have more items to create, and, transform.

See ya soon.

    How gorgeous pretty girl! I'm thinking that this lovely angel would look great in my Antique buffet with all my silver. You are so Smart for the the unique patina you créate in your figures.
    Merry Christmas to you and your dear men.

    Rosemary ... I love your technique ... just amazing ... it looks like it has been painted many times ... so time-worn. Must try it sometime. Hope I can get somewhere close to that look.
    Thanks for stopping by Timeless Treasures with a nice comment.
    Merry Christmas.
