COAL SCUTTLE IN PROGRESS

 

 

 

 

 

 

here are a few stages of my coal scuttle. As you can see, you have to position your circles first as a base colour for the roses.

still working on this one, as I tend to work on several peices at

the same time.

 It saves on paint, & white spirit, when I have to keep cleaning brushes.

I have painted the handles red now, & it is still drying but I will post finished results soon.

Charcoal Iron.

here is the state of the iron my other half stripped down and painted up in preperation for me.






Here is how i start building up a pattern as you can see, & it really works on this subject. I am very tempted to keep this one for my fireplace as I love it.

this is one side finished, and below you can see close up how you build up flowers & leaves.

here it is all finished and ready to go.

Bluebell spice rack

Here is the detail of the spice rack I was commissioned to paint.
The customer decided on colours and the Bluebell motif, & 
She collected it today. She seemed very pleased with it.

View of the side & edges. I am really pleased
with the way this turned out.
