Guy and I bought this concrete bear. All 4 feet were off, and it was just plain grey. Guy glued on the front feet, and I molded, in plaster of paris, the back feet. Then I painted the base coat with plaster paint. On top of that, I did the face and fur in regular acrylic outdoor paint. After all was done, I spray coated with clear lacquer. It was really fun painting. I also painted the grey pelican. It will be in the front window of Agoura Antique Mart. If these animals sell, I might be in the business of refurbishing garden art.
That's what I love about life, in a moment's notice a new opportunity can open ... I hope it will!

I went on Google images and looked at dozens of pics of bears to capture the face. |

I wasn't sure if bears have pink or black tongues. They have pink. |

ReplyDeleteThat bear has such a cute expression on his face - not fierce at all! He'd make me smile every time I walked past him!
