Remember the table I was painting for Superman? (see post on 6/15/09 )
Top of table after painting slats.
Sides with base coat of decorative paint and final view of table after the stain is applied.
The late afternoon sunlight enhances the mood, and the stain softens the colors with warmth.
And having Wonder Dog give you a smile is the perfect cap on the day.
beautiful table! I love it!

Wonder Dog is a keeper! Thank you, elk! I have a couple of tiny things to finish on the table which I'll post, too. Sometimes it's those details that make really define the piece. :-)

I was wondering when we were going to see the table again. Does Superman like it? I do!
ReplyDeleteYou can never have too much color!
You are such a terrific artist. It shows in your attitude. I can't understand how some people seem satisfied in a neutral world...
You're very talented.
ReplyDeleteWhen I paint things it looks like someone fell over with an open paint tin.
Wow yeah, you did do a really good job.
ReplyDeleteIt is fantastic. You amaze me with your multi-talents. I just found out today that you have a lovely singing voice also. I guess I should ask what don't you do?
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the nice comments you left on my blog. I am glad to call you my friend.
Well Mable..you truly sassed up that table! It's gorgeous. Love the idea of staining it...the table liked it too.
ReplyDeleteAlso, wanted to share w/you a site you might like - and might be interested in sharing your stories about the healing benefits of creativity. If not...I bet you'll enjoy reading a litte of what others have shared: http://craftforhealth.typepad.com/

ReplyDeletetina :)
Is this one of your projects ticked off the list? Glad the dentist went ok. (Oh - and I love Yann Tiersen too! I discovered him when I saw Amelie and HAD to get the music!)
ReplyDeleteGreat job Lille! I love all the colors. I know what one for my balcony. :D
ReplyDeletecool table!
ReplyDeletecolouredyness!.... That table looks stunning! If it wasn't pouring with rain outside I'd be tempted to do ours!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a flair for making things so festive! The colours are fabulous, great job!
ReplyDelete~~~~Thank you so much!! If anyone would like a detailed description of how I did this, I'd be happy to blog about it. Let me know.
ReplyDeleteOr hey make a pot of coffee & I'll come spend a day (or two-three) to paint something at your house that needs a little Woodstock Lily magic! I'm a low maintenance kinda girl who will have ya laughing at the craziest things. Ummmm.... anyone have objections if I snort occasionally when I laugh??? ;-)
Opie makes me do that...
I think that I will try a similar pattern on an old cabinet that has been sitting in my garage for years. I love all the bright colors. Thanks for the inspiration! Oh and I love the music too.
ReplyDeleteIt's after 2am and I should be in bed but I had to pop over to thank you for stopping by & following my "newbie" blog ~.~
ReplyDeleteI like "the list" idea... I see others doing this too ~ I may do one as well!
You did a fab job on the table!
~Stormy
That's awesome! I've had a mosaic book sitting on my shelf for 3 years. I had intended to make some, and I've yet to do it! That's for the inspiration. Maybe I can keep the babies away from me long enough to do a project heh.
