More Studio Pics

It rained pretty much all day today, so I was back in the studio.  Thought I'd share more pics.






All week, I've been painting, and figuring out what I'm taking to my show next weekend.  Some of my garden from my last post is going, furniture, and a lot of decorative things.  I have a ton of vintage bottles, and rosaries I purchased at various garage and estate sales.  They look beautiful together.





The three bottles are sitting on another stand I made with wood, and vintage hooks as feet.  You can review the first one I did here.  I then unified it with layers of gesso and paint.  The piece with the dolphin heads is a lamp part I painted, and repurposed as a candle stand.














I just got the little girl fountain.  She's a cutie.






This is another of my peat pot designs.  I attached a cardboard applique, and followed with layers of gesso.  The nest gives it a nice spring feel.





Vintage satin rose pins.







This spoon with the enamel birds is another of my fave pieces.






More repurposed lamp parts.  They really do make great candle stands, and decorative sculpture.








Layers of paint and gesso unify ornate frames.



I have so much more to get to.  I'll be sharing.  See ya soon.

  17. I think you should take everything on top of that table and the table itself just as it is as a display because I believe there wouldn't be one item left on it if you did including the table!

    It looks just lovely Rosemary...P~E~R~F~E~C~T!
