Retouching a functional art piece


A tealights holder !! 

Carved Wood. 

Retouched and painted green gold. 


Wiped the piece down with a wet cloth and then with sandpaper just went over some rough parts.
Once the piece was nice and smooth. Wiped off the extra dust and painted the first coat of green, keeping the paint watery to deep into the cracks. Then another coat of the same color but thicker paint after half an hr later. Once the paint has set gold colour was sponged in covering the entire piece.


I am looking through drawers to see what I can find next..
and while I was at it I painted the storage drawers too...




hope you all have fun doing projects similar to this.
