Unfortunately, that mirror broke, but it was something that I just couldn't part with.
I removed the broken mirror and used it as a frame to display photographs.
Well, the other day, I thought it was about time to transform this dark wood beauty into something that is more my current style... Beachy Blue!
Here's the how to...
Pick the Paint.
Titanium White, Turquoise, and Burnt Umber paints are what I chose to use.
Time to lighten up!
A coat of white paint went on first, along with a light white wash on the wooden back panel.
Layers and Layers... and more Layers.
Next, I added the Turquoise by painting small areas then wiping with a damp paper towel.
I did the same with the Burt Umber. Then a little bit of white.
I kept adding more and more layers and wiping until I achieved the look I was after.
Did I mention that there were a lot of layers?
Here's the Before and After...
My original plan was to glue a little starfish or shells to the wooden back panel.
But I don't want to take away from the frame...
Have any suggestions?
For now, this little guy is just leaning in there...
...he seems to like his new home, but he'll be ready to move if the right opportunity comes along...
maybe that's the way it's meant to be.
Thanks for stopping in.

ReplyDeleteThe frame is darling but I poked around at your artwork - sensational! Love your charcoals! I've only done 2. I enjoyed the medium but it was sooo much work - which makes me appreciate yours all the more.

Hi Andrea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique frame! I think all the details show up more now that you painted it that lovely shade on blue with the burnt unmber shading.

I'm here to testify about what DR. OYAGU did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 2 years and had constant pain and inching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday. This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Shayla Bosschart on the internet testifying about a Man called DR. OYAGU on how he cured her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advise anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him I have faith he can cure me too,, DR. OYAGU prepared and sent me Healing Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after two weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more inching , pain on me anymore as DR. OYAGU assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test behold the result came out negative. So friends my advise is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HBV, HIV, ALS, HBP, CANCER etc. you can contact DR. OYAGU for help via email} oyaguherbalhome@gmail.com visit his website https://oyaguspellcaster.wixsite.com/oyaguherbalhome whatsapp him through his mobile} +2348101755322. , Thanks once again DR. OYAGU for making me a happy woman again.
