Primitive Make Over....Oil Lamp Holder and Drieds

Good Morning Prim Friends and Family

Sharing pics of my newest make over...

Wood Oil Lamp Holder

I am quite pleased with the results, no before pics as I forgot (again)

Started with a pine wood holder purchased from a thrift store

Did Tonya's Technique from My Primitive Creations

Sanded the piece, painted it flat black, 

sanded it again and then the Prim  miracle happens 

when you put on the "Old English"

 Look at all my pretty Dried's

Thank You to Mr B for making the peg rack

 Lavender and Red Sedum from last years flower beds

Love my dried's...can't you tell

They add so much texture and color, nature at it's best

I have been wanting to print on fabric so yesterday I got brave and tried it.  The first sheet went through the printer fine and I was pleased.  I was doing vintage labels so thought why not try some canvas fabric. Well, that did not work, too heavy, the printer would not pull it through...

.

I sewed up 4 little pillows from my printed fabric and then decided to prim them as well.  Using  my coffee stain mixture, painted it on the first pillow and you know what happened....the ink ran!!  I forgot  the tutorial did state that most printer inks are not color fast, well that is correct....

So my first little pillow looks "very" prim....

you can still read some of the writing but it looks to be over 100 years old, lol.

Primitive Make Overs.....Candle Sconce

I had so much fun doing these make overs and just love their new  primitive look.  A huge thank you to Tonya  over at My Primitive Creations by Tonya.  This amazing, talented lady has been tutoring me on how to turn wood items into beautiful primitive treasures.  These candle scones are my first attempt.  Tonya has just posted a tutorial on her blog, detailed instructions on how to achieve this primitive look.  Thank you Tonya for sharing your knowledge.

Purchased 7 of them for 1.00 each

Using Tonya's Priming method

I do need a little more practice on sanding the piece after it is painted.

I think I put too much paint on so therefore it took longer to

sand off the paint.  Also have to remember to sand

with the grain to achieve a natural look.  I got better at  it..... 

I added a vintage table napkin to soften the look

Who are you

Paper mache rabbits hopped on over for a look see

Miss Whiskers looks a little lonely

Sitting all by herself in her crate

 Who are you----Where did you come from

 I'll share my carrot if you let me stay

Oh my, oh dear......OK

Thank you for visiting today

I have to get back to my sanding projects
