February 2019 Thrifts and Stencil

February Hints of Spring

Finished stencil - Tutorial after the thrifted finds

Violets, hints of spring and mid-February - SNOW. It got worse, we had snow, ice, snow, more snow. More than usual for Coastal BC. Rain is what usually happens.

Black Transferware platter with marks, very old.

Pink Roses on China - the pink Cup and Saucer with lace and small roses teacup is Royal Albert True Love.

Plaster sun figure holding a figure. Heavy. Needs some gold/bronze paint touchups.

The bunny is a tiny hint of Easter. The dried roses are from my last pick of the season in late fall and the jar of wooden spools are from my sister. Silver plate tarnished cutlery needs some TLC.

Wooden Framed Windsor Electric Clock - needs to be rewired (had very old cord).

Tray and Tote Stencilled

Tray and Tote Before

Painted out the inside of the tray - overpainted the original tray with Fusion Buttermilk Cream, then Fusion Picket Fence and then again with Fusion Buttermilk Cream for the background.

Stencilling - measured/taped and used CeCe Caldwell's Beckley Coal and a Martha Stewart stencil brush.

Bee on Tray

Stencilled a bee on long sides of the tote

I first waxed the stencilled tray with ASCP Clear Wax and waxing brush (large wooden handle) and then added CeCeCaldwell's Aging Cream then CeCeCaldwell's Aging Dust to the tray using an old paint brush applying very lightly.

Tray and Tote Before and After

A bit of fun as the snow melts and the ice under the snow is showing water stains.

Thanks for visiting today.
