While wandering down the 80% off aisle at Hobby Lobby I spied a resin bust of a classically styled woman in YUK, resin, YUK, YUK YUK phony, bronze, verdigris, resin (sorry, no before picture). Her shape was okay, there was a good weight to her, so, those visions of spray paint began to dance in my head. Did I mention her price tag? Okay, for $6, she would have to do!
I used Rustoleum's heirloom white first, three coats. Then a few days later I coated her with an acrylic gesso. It added a slightly matte, marble feel and look. Antique glaze was wiped on. She was dressed in pretty blue crumpled seam binding from Etsy's 5 Dollar French Market , my favorite Anthropologie necklace and vintage finds. I think she turned into a beauty!
Wow! She is certainly a vision of beauty. She would fit in at Anthropologie ever so well. Nice work.
