    The application of the brown stain made the statue look like it is bronze. Very pretty.

    I think the statue would look great near the gardens where the chicken coop is. So cute!

      That’s exactly what I was thinking! I reckon she’d look absolutely darling in amongst those cottage-y looking beds along the pallet walkway near the chickens

    @risalangdon9883 Před 3 lety +1

    Ohhh, I love the way the statue turned out! Looks like she was always meant to be that color! With her having the little lamb etc. She would look good in the vegetable garden area. Or on your new property veg garden.

  • @iartistdotme
    @iartistdotme Před 4 lety +2

    Russel Foot Fern! She looks really good, redone and retucked. I thought it was going to be not good, but she really looks great. Next move, maybe you can display more of the lamb but right now, she looks like she is admiring all the flowers. Good call with the stain and mixing of colors - reminds me of a bronze statute.

  • @gardenbugdesigns

    • @pansepot1490
      @pansepot1490 Před 4 lety +4

      Angel Friend Too brown IMO but that has made me remember that I have a DIY book on making concrete look like rusty cast iron, aged copper with verdigris stains, old brass and other materials. That statue would be perfect for one of those finishes.

    Love, love, love, love the way your statute came out looking, she looks bronze which I love! I will definitely try it with some concrete bird bath I have and other pieces I have in my garden. I’ve been wanting to change their look because here in Ga you tend to get moss growing on brick, wood or concrete I’ve noticed since a year ago now that I moved here. Thank you

  • @pambonesteel3775

    @janetleeharrison Před 4 lety +1

    Never thought about or even heard of anybody staining a concrete statue. Don't know why that is, but what a fantastic idea. I think your statue turned out looking almost like bronze - it really brought out the flowers on the dress and other details not seen before. I really like it!!!!!!

  • @diannerempel8262
    @diannerempel8262 Před 4 lety +1

    @mariafolch8067 Před 4 lety +2

    Laura, I would have rested the statue on it's back & tested the paint at the bottom of the base, before going on with the staining. Also, I would place it where the entire statue is show case. It is a beautiful statue to be hidden away. @gardenanswer

  • @donnacarraway9182
    @donnacarraway9182 Před 2 lety

    Hi Laura! I love all of the plants you got. The terrarium turned out so pretty. I have a Dragons Blood, Rabbits Foot Fern, purple waffle plant, snow white waffle plant and a Fittonia Juanita. The Fittonia Frankie is gorgeous. I'll have to look for that one. All but the Rabbits Foot Fern like a lot of water.I like how the statue turned out, too. I do hope you keep her, especially since Aaron gave her to you. That was a very thoughtful gift. She's cute where she is, but I hope you decide to put her where you can see more of her, like others said, maybe by the chicken coop. Thank you for sharing!

    I have a button fern and have to water it every 3 days. I even have it on a dish of pebbles with water in it. I'm so glad you are keeping the statue that Aaron gave you. I could never give away a Christmas gift from my husband like that.
