Picture time...

I just got done listing a few heads in my Etsy shop.... I still have a couple of more to list, but they need to be finished. There is only one of each kind being sold, the other ones will be going into the Painted Lady.

I really do love how they came out!

But I think I like them best in the garden! You can check out the rest of the pics on Etsy.

Also wanted to show you my lilies that are blooming.... These are the ones that I had just planted! I really didn't think they'd bloom this year.

The red ones were planted last year.... I Can't wait to have a whole garden of these:)

...And then there's Otis. I looked over the other night and saw this, lol. Too funny what he allows the kids to do to him!

He looks amused, doesn't he, Bah haha....

Almost as intense as the look on the GI Joes face... lol, I had the GI Joes out cause I wanted to do a body cast of one of them... but couldn't find one small enough.

Sorry I haven't been around.... it's been busy here. Hopefully here soon, I'll be able to catch you up on what I've been up too...

Until Next Time......

What I've got done so far....

I've been painting heads all weekend, and just wanted to show you what I'm thinking. I took one of those columns used for cake decorating, and spray painted it with a coat of the stone spray. Then I went back and layered the colors on to give it some depth. I still want to add a piece of something under the girl to give the piece more height, just haven't found anything that would work yet.

Here's an up close of the paint treatment I'm doing...

I just love the crackle effect. I'm using a different brand crackle medium, and I don't think I like it as much as I like the Folk Art brand, but it's what I have... so I'm using it....

This lady is probably one of my favorites...

Her nose was already broke... so I painted around it, and left it to look like it had broke off years ago. I also added some ink to this to dirty it up a bit.

I'm still working on these... I tried painting one green and it just didn't look right, so they're either going to be white or cream-sand colored. And a few got the stone treatment. Waiting for the paint to dry in between coats has been the hardest part.

So..... as the saying goes......

Until Next Time....
