Another basement find was a leftover spray can of "Killz" - it's paint you use to cover water damage on walls. Since it was years since the last dishwasher accident, I used the rest of the spray (it comes in spray can and regular paint can at home depot) on some Styrofoam birds. Normally painting these styrofoam birds doesn't work with acrylic paint, but with the killz it sure does- not only that the killz is gooey, so the resulting bird looks like porcelain. After the spray dries you can apply any paint colour you like- I left mine white and hot glued the fellow to the top of a shadow box.

Cool! Where'd you find the styrofoam bird?
ReplyDeleteI got the bird at the dollar store of course! Originally it was bright red.
ReplyDeleteLiving with Parkinson’s is a daily struggle physically and emotionally. My husband was diagnosed in 2013, and over time, conventional treatments lost their effectiveness. His symptoms worsened, and the sense of hopelessness grew.In March 2020, as a last resort, he turned to NaturePath Herbal Clinic. After completing their six-month natural program, the changes were remarkable his tremors eased, stiffness reduced, and his energy returned. For the first time in years, he’s not just coping he’s truly thriving.If you’re searching for a natural alternative, this may be the hope you've been waiting for. www.naturepathherbalclinic.com info@naturepathherbalclinic.com
