This was a terracotta planter that had needed a new look,

 and soft wax mixed with just a little bit of the Old Ochre Chalk Paint®


Sweet little cherubs are given a coat coat of Old Ochre Chalk Paint®,
with a generous amount of dark wax and a touch of gold gilding wax.

 to start a new project!

Decorting for Mardi Gras is easy, put a few beads in a decorative
container and place mask on top.

A great look for mantles, tables or shelves.
