horse plaque in gray

The horse plaque in gray is a plaster piece that was painted in acrylic and lightly sprayed with a clear matte finishing spray. The piece is 6" in diameter and at its widest point it's approximately 1.5" deep. There is a felt backing and a wire so it's ready to hang. Felt has been glued to the back to help prevent scratching surfaces.

Seated Fairy in Red

This fairy was done shortly after the Butterfly fairy one and was painted with the intention of it being a companion piece. In fact everytime I paint one, I usually paint the other right after if not at the same time. Again the piece is painted with acrylic paints and sprayed with a matte finishing spray. The red dress is more of a really hot pink in color. There is felt glued to the base to prevent it from scratching furniture. The sheen on her was accomplished by putting a gold wash over the entire piece. She measures 8"h X 6"w X 5.5"d.

Butterfly Fairy in Red

This piece was painted in 2004 or so. The red is more like a very , very hot pink in color. My camera just doesnt seem to catch the color as the eye would see it. It took me a week to paint her.
This fairy is a nice sized piece measuring in at
9.5"h X 6.5"w X 5.25"d.

All my pieces are plaster with an acrylic paint and a clear matte spray finish. Although they have a protective coat I dont recommend outside use to them as Im not entirely certain as to how well the spray coat will protect them. If they were places in well sheltered areas I think they'd look nice on a porch. They are great for inside decor, however and this particular piece would look good in a little girl's room. I have one like this and one in it's companion piece sitting in my livingroom with my fairy porcelain dolls. All pieces have felt glued to the bottom to prevent scratches on furniture.
