Spicer Spice Rack.




 

 
 

 





 
the spice rack as it started out with me. It was a plain pine
wooden one, which I rubbed down,
primed and painted with gloss paint.

one spice rack finished. complete with glitter on the roses.
 It is for my sister, who has a girly kind of household, and their name is Spicer. I promised it as a Christmas present.
 it will go great in their kitchen.
 a spice rack for the Spicer family! Job done.

watering can, & spice rack.





2 more things I have just finished. Actually I cheated with the watering can as it was already painted.
The spice rack is quite a bright one, & more of a traditional look to it in a barge wear sort of  way.It must have been a good choice as it sold straight away.

Hanging basket planters, I think they are so sweet.
I got them at a boot sale, 5 for £1.00!  After working some of my magic on them I have now sold 4 of them.
 It just shows what you can do with someone else's cast offs.

a bunch of barge stuff.

Just some of my work, & i must say it looks good all together.

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.
