BLAST FROM THE PAST



Here are some plates I did the dry brushing on to hang in my kitchen.
Norman Rockwell paintings have always caught my eye so when I saw these plates
I grabbed them like a kid in a candy store.
These pics are the begging stages you paint the project black then take three
different shades of brown and dry brush them on one at a time until they look somewhat
like this.
You will find the finished items on the next post.
I would love to hear if you have ever done this or if you have another technique you'd like
to share with me. please don't be shy leave your comments.

BLAST FROM THE PAST CONTINUED



And the after photos. I just love Norman Rockwell
I hope you grab a paint brush and try to paint today!

TRANSFORMATIONS


Yes when I was a little girl my mom got me started doing ceramics.
The other day I took a little trip with my oldest and youngest daughters to the
local ceramic shop where I found this addorable angel. I knew right away I had to
have her so I brought her home.
Base coated her with white ceramic primer,
then stained her with walnut stain, and then
did dry brush technique on her. Above is before,
and Below is the after.
What do ya think?

I'd love to hear from you if you do ceramics or would like
to give dry brushing a try.
