RE: pictures of snow/now stencils


Donna: Well, besides the stenciling, which was the easy part BTW, there
are two layers of drywall mud that I textured onto the wall with both
large and small trowels then knocked down to the rough texture I wanted,
then 6 layers of paints and glazes on top of that, followed by some free
hand painting and the stenciling. The stencils were just ones I picked
up at Menards and I used the smallest stencil brushes available and
blended lots of colors to get the look I wanted. Took me the best part
of seven days to do the painting/glazing/stenciling in a 200 sq. ft.
kitchen, working several hours a day. But it makes me smile every time I
walk in there...Melody, IA (Z 5/4)

Well your garden is way ahead of mine and with this newest
weather<br>pattern... hum... <br><br>Love the stenciling you did.... how
did you do that? <br><br>Donna<br><br><br>&gt; <br>&gt; Dear all:
Yesterday the first crocuses of the year were blooming in my<br>&gt;
garden. Today they are buried under several inches of snow. For a
good<br>&gt; look, please visit<br>&gt; <br>&gt; <br>&gt;
http://photos.yahoo.com/mhobertm<br>&gt; <br>&gt; It's just the first
two pictures in this set. The rest are all photos<br>of<br>&gt; my
kitchen remodel, mostly details of the wall treatments I<br>&gt;
painted/stenciled, so ignore those if you want to.<br>&gt; <br>&gt;
<br>&gt; I hope this snow goes away pretty shortly as I'm on vacation
and I<br>would<br>&gt; have liked to have gotten out there in the garden
this week...pooh!<br>But<br>&gt; I think poor Ceres has gotten a good
deal more than we did over this<br>&gt; way.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; <br>&gt;
