I'm joining in on Marty's Tabletop Tuesday and Susan's Metamorphosis Monday, thanks, ladies for hosting! Go here and here for lots more inspiration.
I'm sharing the transformation of the little lady bust I bought at Hobby Lobby a few months ago. It was on sale for $4.80.I recently used the little bust in a tabletop vignette. (Below) This is the original color.
I didn't like the original color and knew I would paint it when I bought it,but I tried it in this vignette first.
I like this color so much better!
The details of her face and blouse show up much nicer now.
I'm also thinking of glazing it with umber or ochre to highlight the detailsbut I took the pictures first in case I don't like it afterwards! (LOL!)
Inspiration for this vignette was the little girl bust. I had bought the pretty vase at Hobby Lobby when we were in Knoxville recently. The book is really a box, on sale half-price at Michael's.
The mirror is from Home Goods a few months ago, and the little bird from Michael's.From this color:
To this:
And it was on sale for this!
Which is your favorite color?

Have a happy day!
God Bless.

Oh Katherine~I remember seeing her in your clock post and loved her then but now, she is fantastic! I just never would have thought to paint her but you have done a great job. :)
Katherine, the white looks much better than the bronze.
Loving it!

I bust looks very pretty in white...all the details are so much easier to see and enjoy...great job.
I think you made a great choice painting it white-it looks fabulous. I love the pretty vignette you created to show her off too.
Best wishes,
Natasha.
I have to agree; the white is prettier! The details "pop"! ...and what a bargain!

Katherine, both of your vignettes are just gorgeous. You always do the neatest things. I really like her painted white too. It does show off her pretty face better. I like both vignettes so much, it would be so hard to pick. Great inspiration. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty
I,too, like the white better. She is a pretty little lady...:)
I like both! Dark for winter and white for summer!
Katherine I love your tabletop! So pretty. Be blessed. Cindy
Yes, I like her in her new white mucho better--she seems to come alive in that color!
That is an amazing transformation, Katherine! I love it done over in this soft white. It makes it so much easier to see the details of her face & now she looks more innocent. BRAVO & well done!
