Putti flying overhead


You can have Angels flying overhead




A few life-sized stencils and a little paint is all you need




These were painted "on the ground" and then attached to the ceiling




Never pass up a new building site without asking for permission to "harvest" a few Drywall pieces




Stenciled onto dry wall slabs, added freehand garlands and flowers




The edges are broken off and the entire piece is aged with furniture stain



I wanted to give the impression that the painted panels were rescued from a historic site



To begin with, the idea was to temporarily attach the panels to the ceiling in order to determine the spacing. 




I was then going to paint a blue sky and Putti onto fabric canvas and attach it to the dining room ceiling




For now I explain, if asked, that the Putti were broken away from an ancient Fresco.

  5. Dear Georgianna, The painted boards are just a little too large for my Etsy shop. Shipping is always a problem. I can, however, do the next best thing and print a few images for you on cardstock so you can have a few cards to share with friends. Just let me know.
    Love, Gina

  12. Hi Pat, hello Aunt Snow and hi Judy, You would be surprised how easy it is to stencil an image onto boards. When you next see a building site, ask for permission to reclaim a few dry wall boards. And have fun playing with designs.
