Looks like a Loon. I live in Canada, but I'm a Floridian. You do whatever you want with whatever you save from the thrift store. I don't know why people have to be so negative. People need to remember...if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. God bless you!
You do you Julie! It’s your home and you know what you like. Sometimes if you paint black as an under coat for gold or brass it turns out a lot better.
I prefer the brushed on method with the antiquing wax as it makes the piece look a little older. The duck turned out beautifully!❤❤❤ It is the best rendition of an antique wooden duck.
Julie, I better never hear you apologize for improving a piece of home decor! You made that 1000% BETTER. You had a vision and the talent to make it so beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to film such an in depth and detailed video for us. You’re beautiful, the duck is beautiful, everything that you do is beautiful. ❤
Julie, I have never thought about making something look brass, but now I am! The duck looks good and it doesn't tarnish! Great thrift flip. You have become a seasoned pro in so many areas, happy we are along for the ride!
It's BEAUTIFUL Julie ! Thank you for all of your videos. As an invalid I greatly appreciate hearing about your activities, your family, and your love for the Lord. Love, Marcie from Oregon
Hi Julie, I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for filming the different steps you took to turn this from an ugly duckling into such a beautiful piece. I have never seen ducks at the thrift stores, I will grab one up if I ever find one and paint it like you did. I also like how you styled it. All around , great job on this video.
Looks great. I have used this color metallic paint on many projects. I have even used this on candles, just can't light candles after painting. You go girl. Marion
Hi Julie, I absolutely love what you did with the duck! I’m a wood fanatic and it looks amazing! The solid brass “duck” I believe is a loon. Our Canadian $1 coin is called a loonie and it has a loon on the back of it. Either way, it’s beautiful as well!
Julie, you're a master at wooden ducks!!! I can see you grabbing every duck you see now and making them over. You'll have a whole flock before you know it😆. I love it🥰
LOVE it! The antique wax and dry brushing you did really created a lot of dimension in paint and gave it that wood grain effect. Pieces like that you have worked on will be even more special showcased in your home. Way to go Julie 👏
Looks gorgeous! It was painted originally as a Canadian Goose, but it’s shaped like a duck. Loons have a longer pointed beak. I’m impressed with how much patience you have❣️
Kudos to you Julie, in the beginning of my thrifting experience, I would make due to make the things that I bought, and make it my own to age or redo to my liking... it's therapy my opinion...thank you for sharing 😊❤😊
Great job Julie!!!! I love how this duck came out. Never mind what anybody else says. Your style is appreciated by me and a lot of others. Excellent job today!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I should have waited to comment until you styled that beautiful duck. It looks even more amazing sitting on the books and the light background walls make it look even more like it's made of wood. It really pops. Great job!!!
That is a loon sized figure that is painted a combination of a loon and a Canada GOOSE. As a Canadian we would not claim that bird figurine so you can do with it what you like. Love everything you do. You have entertained me and given me so many ideas for things in my own home and I thank you so much for both.
When you’re using craft paint if you’re interested in a little hack. If you’re not already aware of it for each coach, use a hairdryer to dry it. It will dry superfast and also bake paint Lawless onto your object, especially would
Hey, Julie. The next time you have something like this you want to paint do a black base coat on it. Make sure the black is a matte finish. That way you can use less of the gold or other metallic color and you’ll have the definition you want at the start. Then you can enhance it with a light coat of wax or touches of the Rub n Buff.
Our aesthetic is so similar.. it’s fortunate that i live in Tennessee because we would be arm wrestling over our thrifted finds😝I consider our pieces as rescues to be given new life and so I’m constantly painting and reimagining my thrifted pieces.. and usually I’m very happy with the result..and if not.. do it over
Wow! Amazing job Julie. I agree. You really would think this is a wooden duck. I really do appreciate all your hard work in making all of your videos. 🤗🎄Marion
Your duck is incredible , I absolutely love what you did, I love your videos, I hope that you and your family have A very Merry Christmas and I wish for all of you a Happy Healthy Blessed and Prosperous New Year
Julie, the loon/duck turned out gorgeous what an awesome accident, it truly does look like wood. Thank you for sharing this with us. People need to remember it’s your decor and your $$$ do what you want with it. 😊. You have a gift of making things beautiful. ❤️🤍💚
Your duck is actually a loon. It does look lovely the way it is currently but I understand your need to blend it in with your decor. I'm sure it's going to look lovely!❤

you are soooo right . Julie you always come out with fabulois items. youb know what you are doing
I like your duck better with the antique wax. Looks so much more "real". I love the wood look that is standing out! Thanks for sharing!!!
It does give off wood vibes great job
You do you Julie! It’s your home and you know what you like. Sometimes if you paint black as an under coat for gold or brass it turns out a lot better.
Thank you! ☺️
Such soul satisfying fun. Looks great Julie. ❤
I kind of liked that the black feathers were shining through the first coats of gold paint.
I prefer the brushed on method with the antiquing wax as it makes the piece look a little older.
The duck turned out beautifully!❤❤❤
It is the best rendition of an antique wooden duck.
I'm so glad you promote primitive style. There's not a lot of it on TH-cam. Thanks 💙
It does look like wood love it . With the scarf on it looks like a he a gentleman.
I love how the duck turned out!! It does look like wood. Wow! Great transformation! ❤
Thank you so much! 😊
Julie, very nice. I have used this same technique on 50th wedding anniversary gifts.

Gosh !! You wouldn't even believe it was the same duck ...doing the step by step made me believe it..what a nice turnout ...it's a keeper.

Looks great! I love brass and you did a wonderful job. Happy Holidays 🎄🎄
What are you going to do with the brass urns from the yard sale?
Hey, Julie. The next time you have something like this you want to paint do a black base coat on it. Make sure the black is a matte finish. That way you can use less of the gold or other metallic color and you’ll have the definition you want at the start. Then you can enhance it with a light coat of wax or touches of the Rub n Buff.
Thank you so much for the tip! I will definitely try that next time!
