An oldish plastic table and 2 chairs sit on my studio balcony, giving me a window on my backyard world, but the table was double ugly with a worn white laminate top and I want beauty around me, so I got the bright idea to paint it. I taped the edges, got out my larger stencils and set to work.
I gessoed the table top first and after that was dry I stenciled some geometric designs with black paint. Then I added green fern leaves, some blue letters here and there, and finished with red and yellow flowers, and sealed it all with several coats of spray polyurethane.
Thanks to Mary Ann Moss and her Stencilry class last year.
Fabulous!
