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 
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!
Lynn
