Painting on Screen

                                                   Always wondered how to paint on
                                                                       screen.

                            Last season while out antiquing I picked up these two window  sashes.


                                                            
                                                      


                                 Not sure at the time what I had planned for them
                                        so they sat in my studio till I started decorating
                                                         for Christmas.



                                               Here they are, on my front bench
                                                      do you see them.
                                                            

                                        Once the snow melted and the ice thawed I
                                                cleaned them up and they sat once
                                                      again in my studio .............
                                 
                                                       
                                                     I happened to stumble on them
                                                              while I was looking for something and thought
                                                                it's time......So I cleaned them up.....
                                                Asked Mr. WWH to add some screening to the backs of them.

                                                        Miss A. and I got started......brought out the carryall
                                                                with all the paints, brushes and paper.

                                                  I keep a roll of Kraft paper to lay out on my
                                                         harvest table for just such occasions........

                                                            First we painted a background on the screen.
                                                                 Miss A. painted hers blue and then
                                                                           stenciled on white snowflakes.

                                                          While that was drying she whitewashed the wooden sash.

                                                                             Then added a wee caption........
                                 
                                                                                         

                                                                            "Let it Snow"
                                                                      
                                                             
                                           For mine I wanted a Harvest theme......so I painted pumpkins.......


                                                                      

                                                        Then I added a few paints together and applied
                                                                   it to the frame.

                                                  (   I did take before pictures...but when cleaning up
                                                                       my pictures I somehow deleted them.)
                                                           
                                                                            One word of caution.....
                                                            Make sure you load up our paint brush with
                                                                              lots of paint......

                                      
                                                                    Again we used $ store paints.


                                                                Have some fun and try your hand at
                                                                         screen painting......
