Myra's Wall Plaque

The very much needed 'lighten up' wall plaque!!

My sister let me redo this wall plaque that she had. It was way too dark. The thing was heavy and finished in a dark brown that masked all the gorgeous detail. Sooooo, of course I forgot to get a before shot!! But this is what it looked like after I primed the thing and started to apply a base coat of taupe.
Then, turquoise!!! Yea turquoise!!! (did I spell that right?....lol) But boy was it bright!! That's OK, it's a process.

After toning it down just a notch...
Than, add rich gold metallic paint and age it...then.....

Looks really different! I wish I had one for myself....
