~ Ohh The Shabbieness of it All... ~
Good Morning all, I am always up with the birds...
Wow I was hoping to Paint this week but the weather took a turn to cloudy and possible rain.....and of course lower temps.... What a switch from this weekend, with using the air conditioner and all :) Oh well I think I will just start gathering some of my old finds {I have so many, it's like a thrift store around here..} Later this week when I am all done I will post some pictures of maybe one fourth of my stuff.... lol
California where is the sun today? .....
Ooh about the photos, this is a lamp I was blessed to find on one of my thrift adventures....I listed her for sale on my etsy....but I think I am just going to keep this lovely and paint her white..... {do you think I should paint her?} I just love the rose garland she's holding.....but I am not to fond of the Goldness of it all... but love the Gesso, Puttiness about her.....and yes I always seem to find an inspiration photo from
one of my favorite mags....that's why we purchase them ....right?
here it is....

I am soooo nervous about attempting to paint her....does anyone know what kind of paint works best on plaster? What are your thoughts..... I do think the rose garland on this statue looks pretty in white...oh how ~ I just love the Shabbieness of it all....~
I would try the Rustoleum Painters Touch spray..it is an oil base paint, and I think it should work . It is lovely!

I have used Krylon spray paint on things like this before. Spray paint is so amazing these days!
