What I've Been Working On~

I have been painting again, even though I was

going to take a break, guess I am hooked! I

wanted to show you all this plate I just finished,

it is a plastic plate, believe it or not! I got the

idea from Jen at Taylors*Farmhouse*Attic, so

I thought I would try it for myself and I like how

it turned out. I sprayed it with a matte finish

sealer, then painted it 3 light coats of Americana

Heritage Brick, drying it with the hair dryer in

between coats.....I mixed half and half Antique

White and True Ochre for the lettering and line

work. I haven't sealed it yet, I see it has a little

glitter on it, so I better clean that off before I

spray it.....I haven't painted the back, but I will...

I want to do some more, now.....I got this plate

out of the cupboard and my hubby said "You

painted a perfectly good plate!" Ya, I did, but

they are old, so what, I have a lot of other plates

to eat on....Let's see, I think I will look at some

real redware plates to see what patterns I like

and paint some more.....I better get one started

before he gets home! Ha..Ha (He doesn't really

care)...

Until next time...
