Small Painting Project #1 - Painted Lamp

I am learning a bit more about manual photography this week. I changed so many settings that I had to revert to factory settings. Lost the bright sunshine outside while figuring things out for my lamp vignette, late afternoon light instead. In PicMonkey I edited the brightness a bit too much.

The painted lamp below was taken even later in the evening.

First project (in my mini series of 3) is updating a lamp - this room needed more white (not baby blue) to coordinate with the white curtains plus a softer light was needed (overhead was too bright at times). I found an old lamp in the shed that was about the right size, wrong style/colour but provided the right amount of light. First try at using chalk-clay paint over a glaze. 

I used CeCe Caldwell Chalk - Clay Paint, Vintage White. 2 coats. Waxed with CeCe Caldwell Clear wax the next day. Not my favourite style of lamp but the vintage white helped it to receed. Project finished.

Project # 2 will be posted November 11th at 7:00 am.

E from VAM gave me a bouquet of lavender. I put it in a 2 quart blue glass jar, added some thick twine, a piece of burlap and my scottish broach. A November pleasure.

During November I am going to post twice a week, Monday and Thursday.

Thank you for dropping by, my next post will be Thursday November 7th at 7:00 am.
