Thyme to show you a Cynthia Erickson design called Sleighmakers Inn

I found this antique fireplace bellow at a thrift shop

and

decided to paint 

a 

Cynthia Erickson 

design on it

It is always fun to find unique and interesting pieces to paint on.

I am always on the lookout for such pieces!

I had to modify the design some to fit my surface.

I sanded the surface and prepped it with a base coat of black 

followed by a coat of red 

letting some of the black show thru.

This is such a pretty design to paint!

I found some perfect homespun and bells to add to my piece

I made a grundy tag that said

SLEIGHMAKERS INN

for my piece

I love how it turned out!

Happy Painting!
