This latest creation in from an old, 1940s wood spoon rack that had some chips and nicks and didn't look too appealing in its current state. Even though I had some restoration stains and fixers, I decided to try a new look in the Santa Fe Style. Using paints on hand, regular household primer with color and acrylic art paint , I applied the medium-dark color first. Once that dried, I lightly went over it with the dry brushed the lighter color and blended in a few darker colored (green & blue) accent strokes with the art paint. After it was dried completely, I gently sanded the edges and thin spots to expose the different shades of the natural wood underneath.
It's still a work in process since I may decide to add some hooks and make it more practical.
Once completed, it will either go into a local consignment store, an Etsy store, or entered into a local arts & crafts show.
Stay tuned for more adventures in......creative endeavors.
