Happy November first, can you believe it!
Here we go with the pears again. This time I am going to try to let the photos speak for themselves.
You can see where I took my creative influence.
A silver bowl and some luscious pears.
natural pear stippling - heaven |
simple life- still life, a book, sage and pears in a silver bowl |
Then I thought I would try to copy the finish of the pears on this box, simple as that.
Acrylic paint, some silver leaf and some stippling in dark brown with a tiny brush.
I like the irregularly applied silver leaf on the box closure hardware |
It somehow humored my heart to paint this project. Later I gave it as a birthday present for a 9 year old friend, filled it with candies and gave the pear too, wrapped separately. It is funny to give someone a pear as a birthday present, they never expect it! It is good to throw them off, especially those tricky friends. I am sure you have some tricky friends. Did a whole hoard of them cross your mind just now with yourself leading the pack?

It is fun to look around and find your inspiration anywhere. I would love to do the bathroom walls or a laundry room, some small space stippled like a pear.
With affection,
