Work in Progress

This is a swinging frog statue that hangs from a tree with rope ( rope is removed for painting ) that I am repainting for my parents.  These little guys tend to fade over time and I like to repaint and seal them so they are weather proofed as well as bright, shiny and like new!  I always forget how horrible they look after just the first coat of dull paint, before any touchups or detailing is done.  Should have an after photo of this guy soon along with another one!  ( I promise it will look much better in the end - here is the before and after of the bear I repainted. )

Welcome Bear - 23/365

This  is a bear statue I picked up at one of our local Goodwill stores for $4.  When I purchased it, it was in all shades of gray and pretty chipped up, at that.  I took it home, repainted it, sealed it and now this guy lives on my back deck.  I'm always on the look out for fix 'r up statues like this to put around the porches and in the yard.  :)

Here is a bad before photo:

Da Bear

I bought this bear statue at Goodwill for $4 all chipped and mostly one color. I repainted him using acrylic paints and sealed with an exterior sealant. Now he's good as new and he will live on the back porch. (This picture is before he was sealed - he is now nice and shiny!)
