We ALL need some QUALITY THYME!

Who

 doesn't need 

MORE THYME?

There never seems to be enough hours in the day!

Especially to paint!

I found this old metal lamp at a thrift store

I decided that it would be the perfect surface to paint a design 

by 

John Sliney 

on

I cleaned and base coated the lamp

the base is about 14" wide

I used a design called

QUALITY TIME SAM

I have also painted this design a few thymes on milk cans

I painted the TOP like a folded flag

painting the stars

I painted saltboxes on the back

close up of the back of lamp

I added several coats of clear matte varnish when finished to protect the surface

With a shade on top the lamp measures about 30" tall.

I used designs from John Slineys books 

A Road to America's Past

and

A Road to Saltbox Memories

to paint this lamp

Happy Painting!
