Orb, Revised...

The orb I found for a buck at Julie's

last garage sale was nice as it was...

But in the interest of lightening up a bit,

a coat of ASCP French Linen was applied.

And after that, a bit of dark wax

in the form of shoe polish.

Yes - shoe polish.

Applied oh so lightly...with 

the same little applicator brush

used to apply it to shoes.

Hey - it never hurts to

experiment. And I am a 

big believer with doing what

you can with what you have.

Kiwi was the brand I had.

This is not where the orb will stay.

I need to find another stand...

maybe even a bigger one.

And I will definitely give shoe polish 

another shot on other types of painted items.

Aren't we always seeking 

new and budget-friendly ways

to feather our nests?

Word for the Day:

Luke 11:9
And I tell you, ask, 

and it will be given to you; 

seek, and you will find; 

knock, and it will be opened to you.

UPDATE:
Orb Lands on Coffee Table/Trunk

I had the stand already. Yay!
