    I like this finish very much. Are you willing to share the secret on how you achieved it? :)

    Thank you!
    Norma, of course, it´s all about paint and very simple. First a grey acrylic as a base, then a verdigree-green brushed on lightly with a dry brush, then again small touches with a gold marker. You can add black and lighter grey accents instead of the green and golden, if you like.
    Love, Susanne

    Now you made me zinc ;0) I made zink pitchers for my mum earlier. I paintet with grey acrylic and then a brush of silver, and then again a dry brush with a little black. But I must admit I like your matt look better than mine...

    Hi Susanne!
    Love the color you chose. They look marvelous!
    I did remember the tiny shells! And thought about you when I was searching for them. I had found 2 tiny sand dollars but I broke them both on the trip back home. So sad. I guess I'll have to go back. LOL!

    Thanks for the info re the zinc painting, and I've noted Annie's too.

    And thanks for the 'welcome back' comment but I never really went away, I've been lurking around, looking over your shoulder ;)
