Flying Putti overhead

 

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.

I stenciled Putti onto dry wall slabs,  and freehand painted additional 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 panels to the ceiling in order to determine spacing. 

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

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

Hope you have a wonderful week, 

Gina
