What can I do with these???
+11
I found these at a thrift store.......thought they were interesting. They need painting. Have no clue what to do with these. What do you think??? Thanks in advance for your input.
I would not paint them,as that may ruin there character,clean and display them
They make me smile! You can add them to a music room or bar area.
I would like to see them look like carved wood, so I would suggest glazing them with thinned down brown acrylic artist colors, they already have a good base color. I would hang the together on a light background, maybe vertically between doorways in a hall.
They look lovely. I would clean the up with white (not gel) toothpaste and a damp tooth brush. Would get in all the crevices. I would use acrylic craft paint and dry brush everything except the faces and hands. Dry brushing would still show some if the original flesh tone. Different of brown and tans for the chello, guitar, and violin. Different colors for the clothing. Then seal with a spray glaze.
Love them! Are they a plastic material? I would use them in decorating a wall in any room, even bath. Can paint one color or different colors. Childs room would be cute to me.
I would clean lightly first then use an antiquing medium on them-- a walnut color- brush on them wipe off excess so it mostly stays in detail areas.
Glue them to a outdoor ceramic flower pot
if they are old chaulk figurines, you would ruin their value by changing anything. Some of these old caulk pieces bring good money, investigate before cleaning or painting
Mike is right about that. Contact an antique dealer before you do anything to them.
If you do decide to paint, (are they already a copper color?) I would go with a bright copper and spot patina to age them.
Thanks !
