Inspiration & rub 'n' buff..........

Yesterday, Iread a blog post by JANICE, she had been using rub 'n' buff and coincidently so had I - in fact I looked like a 'gilded grannie' ... more on me than my miniatures!
Remember the photograph from my garden with the Heron and the old boot?





 Well having re-created a miniature old boot, I thought a Heron would be nice.

Well then I thought, why not look for some pots in those boxes that have not been opened for years.
I knew that I bought some urns ..........? years ago.
I found them and gave them the same treatment....
3 coats of acrylic brown/green paint mix and then good old rub 'n' buff on top.
I think they look quite nice.






Then I gave the same treatment but with different colours to some pots that I am about to lable and plant up - Witchy ones!


Now to get the clay out, I feel creative!
