The pedestal on the banks are sprayed with Rust-Oleum American Accents Stone.
The banks are sprayed with Rust-Oleum specialty Metallic. Shiny silver and shiny copper - go by the tops on the spray can.
I put two coats of satin clear to finish the pedestal and banks off.
The wreath is the third one that I have made. When it comes to hand painting crafts I suk. I got aggravated and bought an air brush and as you can tell
there will be no turning back. The first thing I did on this one was to give it a light spray coat of the tan color Stone paint. It fills in the space between
the flowers and leaves and adds a little texture. Then I spray the middle of the flowers black, the smaller flowers yellow and finish with the white. Some
hand brushing for touch up and two coats of satin clear. I forgot the leaves - I spray them after the black
Thanks for the compliments and thanks to Carve buddy and Michael T. If you look at the last picture of the banks you can see the 1 1/2"
rubber plug on the lower left on the nickel. You can just see the edge of it. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone.
I need to clean the sawdust out of my eyes. I forgot to post the backs of the banks. The jesus face is carved in Trex. Picture doesn't do it justice.
It looks like it was carved in a piece of granite.
