Love birds....

Hi Everyone!  I hope you had a great day.  It has been raining here all day.  It's a nice light rain and it's necessary.  I spent the morning at my parent's home.  It's so nice to have them home.  They gave me some gifts for taking care of their home, etc. while they were gone.  I'll do a separate post and show you the goodies later.

Do you remember the hand painted coasters I made?  If not, you can check them out here.  I liked them so well that I painted them as a set like I did on the silhouette blocks.  The only difference is that I turned the blocks on their side (they look like they are square but they aren't).

In these pictures I haven't added the antique medium to them yet.  The black paint was still a bit wet but I couldn't wait to take their pictures.  If you look closely, you can tell that the black paint isn't dry  yet.  I might decide not to add the antique medium.  What do you think?  Would you leave them this way or would you antique them?

I just can't seem to get enough of birds.  I promise to get back to building things soon.  The pressure is starting to build to get four benches built by the last week of April.  That's when my first fair of the season is.  I still have some time.  Thanks for stopping by.

 Update:

So I went ahead an antiqued them and I think they look much better.

 So what do you think?
