Good Morning. It's Thursday and I'm feeling a little bit behind. It's Christmas and everyone seems to be done shopping and organized except for me. I guess that is normal for me because I try to do the handwork and all the little extras that I should have done in JULY, not in DECEMBER. Well, anyways here is my fun little paint job. Here is the before picture of my cute brass giraffes:
I decided to jazz them up with paint, paint and more paint. What I did was brushed on them a light orange flat paint. I than took a dry rag and wiped off the excess. I also took a wet rag and wiped a little bit more paint off. I wanted to accent the grooves that was on the surface of the giraffes. When they were dry I brushed some poly-acrylic varnish on them so the paint that I added would stay on and protected.
I think you can see the details of the giraffes a lot more than before. What do you think? Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Until next time, Dianne........
