    The application of the brown stain made the statue look like it is bronze. Very pretty.

    I think the statue would look great near the gardens where the chicken coop is. So cute!

      Angel Friend Too brown IMO but that has made me remember that I have a DIY book on making concrete look like rusty cast iron, aged copper with verdigris stains, old brass and other materials. That statue would be perfect for one of those finishes.

    Ohhh, I love the way the statue turned out! Looks like she was always meant to be that color! With her having the little lamb etc. She would look good in the vegetable garden area. Or on your new property veg garden.

    @iartistdotme 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Russel Foot Fern! She looks really good, redone and retucked. I thought it was going to be not good, but she really looks great. Next move, maybe you can display more of the lamb but right now, she looks like she is admiring all the flowers. Good call with the stain and mixing of colors - reminds me of a bronze statute.

    Love, love, love, love the way your statute came out looking, she looks bronze which I love! I will definitely try it with some concrete bird bath I have and other pieces I have in my garden. I’ve been wanting to change their look because here in Ga you tend to get moss growing on brick, wood or concrete I’ve noticed since a year ago now that I moved here. Thank you

    Never thought about or even heard of anybody staining a concrete statue. Don't know why that is, but what a fantastic idea. I think your statue turned out looking almost like bronze - it really brought out the flowers on the dress and other details not seen before. I really like it!!!!!!

    Hi Laura! I love all of the plants you got. The terrarium turned out so pretty. I have a Dragons Blood, Rabbits Foot Fern, purple waffle plant, snow white waffle plant and a Fittonia Juanita. The Fittonia Frankie is gorgeous. I'll have to look for that one. All but the Rabbits Foot Fern like a lot of water.I like how the statue turned out, too. I do hope you keep her, especially since Aaron gave her to you. That was a very thoughtful gift. She's cute where she is, but I hope you decide to put her where you can see more of her, like others said, maybe by the chicken coop. Thank you for sharing!

  • @phyllisroark7907
    @phyllisroark7907 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The statue turned out great, it almost looks like a bronze color now. I just love her. I think you might wish you would have kept her if you give her away. Just think what a gift one day for Benjamin when he's older. Along with the story. What fond memories that would be. Anyway, thanks for another great video!!

    Love how they both turned out! I've been out re-doing garden art as well, and in the process of making a turtle from a metal hanging basket and chicken wire for the head and feet. I think I'll plant some pansies in it for fall. Between you and Amanda (Planterina) I just may have to make another terrarium. lol

    Laura, I would have rested the statue on it's back & tested the paint at the bottom of the base, before going on with the staining. Also, I would place it where the entire statue is show case. It is a beautiful statue to be hidden away. @gardenanswer
