    The application of the brown stain made the statue look like it is bronze. Very pretty.

    Ohhh, I love the way the statue turned out! Looks like she was always meant to be that color! With her having the little lamb etc. She would look good in the vegetable garden area. Or on your new property veg garden.

      Angel Friend Too brown IMO but that has made me remember that I have a DIY book on making concrete look like rusty cast iron, aged copper with verdigris stains, old brass and other materials. That statue would be perfect for one of those finishes.

    Russel Foot Fern! She looks really good, redone and retucked. I thought it was going to be not good, but she really looks great. Next move, maybe you can display more of the lamb but right now, she looks like she is admiring all the flowers. Good call with the stain and mixing of colors - reminds me of a bronze statute.

    Love, love, love, love the way your statute came out looking, she looks bronze which I love! I will definitely try it with some concrete bird bath I have and other pieces I have in my garden. I’ve been wanting to change their look because here in Ga you tend to get moss growing on brick, wood or concrete I’ve noticed since a year ago now that I moved here. Thank you

    Never thought about or even heard of anybody staining a concrete statue. Don't know why that is, but what a fantastic idea. I think your statue turned out looking almost like bronze - it really brought out the flowers on the dress and other details not seen before. I really like it!!!!!!

  • @pamketron

    Laura, I always double glove, especially on the hand that I use to stain or paint, since I must be very enthusiastic when I use a brush or cloth to stain. What is nice is that, if the outside glove doesn't have holes, when I take them off. I can reuse the glove(s) again.

Also love all those new house plants and we were just looking at a terrarium similar to yours in Michael's last weekend. Now I am going to have to go get it and try some ferns in it!!! By the way I think the statue looks great!!

    I have two large grey resin pots in need of a makeover. The raised design on them doesn’t stand out anymore. Spray painting didn’t seem like the answer. The wood stain technique and Aija’s comment about dry brushing with green is absolutely it! Thank you for the inspiration. I will also test patch some stain on a little statue painted light blue in an attempt to make it look like copper patina. Maybe it will bring back its former glory.

    Hi Laura! I love all of the plants you got. The terrarium turned out so pretty. I have a Dragons Blood, Rabbits Foot Fern, purple waffle plant, snow white waffle plant and a Fittonia Juanita. The Fittonia Frankie is gorgeous. I'll have to look for that one. All but the Rabbits Foot Fern like a lot of water.I like how the statue turned out, too. I do hope you keep her, especially since Aaron gave her to you. That was a very thoughtful gift. She's cute where she is, but I hope you decide to put her where you can see more of her, like others said, maybe by the chicken coop. Thank you for sharing!

    Fun fact and useless info of the day: hemigraphis means half written (or even painted), from the greek words hemi (ημι-, half/semi-) and graphis (γραφίς/ γραφίδα, pen/any writing tool) 😊
    The terrarium and statue look gorgeous too!!

  • @mariafolch8067
    @mariafolch8067 5 лет назад +2

    Laura, I would have rested the statue on it's back & tested the paint at the bottom of the base, before going on with the staining. Also, I would place it where the entire statue is show case. It is a beautiful statue to be hidden away. @gardenanswer

    Russel is a polydactyl cat. Extra toes!
    Also known as Hemingway’s cat because he loved them so much. Sailors favored polydactyl cats bc they bring good fortune, good climbers and hunters. Hemingway was given a polydactyl cat which he named Snow White. Her descendants and other polydactyl cats live in Key West at Hemingway’s home and museum.
    Oh and nice plants and arrangements! Love it all have plans for next year’s garden. 😁
