Zinc about it..






This time I chose a zinc-grey line with small touches of verdigree and gold too..
The small bowl is a gift from Annie..

  3. 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

  10. 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...

  22. 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!
