And Now For Something Different
I have added some painted ornaments to my shop inventory.
Some are painted while I am painting something similar since the paint colors are ones I'm already using. The butterfly and chickadee are examples. And others I am painting in between other paintings. I like the variety of changing up the surface that I'm painting on. Wood surfaces require a bit of prep work to get smooth surface. They need a little sanding and a coat of gesso before the actual painting. These little guys are fun to paint. I will be adding more through out the holiday.
Wow, these are beautiful! I am thinking about ornaments already too!
Thank you Audrey and Angela!
those are beautiful!!
Will have to check out the rest of your shop 🙂 Love ornaments!!
Wow, I'm jealous. I'm so fascinated by painting since I've always wanted to as a kid but I sucked lol. I've never even heard the word gesso before 🙁
Jayne – Try painting again! I didn’t start until I was well into adulthood!
Gesso is primer used with oil and acrylic paint. On wood, it seals the surface so the wood doesn’t keep absorbing all the paint and makes a smooth surface.
Connie – Thank you! I feel the same when I look at your shop – I love ALL your beading!
Your ornaments are beautiful! They would make a lovely gift. I really like all of them – I can't choose a favorite!
Really nice addition to your shop for the holidays!
Those are beautiful ornaments! Hard to believe that we are already thinking about Christmas. I know I am.
Thank you Connielou & Sher! I can’t believe it’s almost October ! Christmas is zooming up quickly.
