I picked up this pretty shiny ceramic pumpkin last year and had plans to give it a makeover but ran out of time so this year I pulled it out and set it at the front of the paint line.
I envisioned it in a warm white like the neat heirloom pumpkin varieties so popular now.
Seeing it was a shiny ceramic I went on the safe side and coated it with
Fusion Mineral Paint's ultra grip for added paint adhesion.
I was working on a pair of wood candlesticks at the same time, both had
Fusion Mineral Paint Algonquin brushed on as first layer leaving the stem original.
I just LOVE the transformation and it looks so lovely in my home decor now.
I liked it so much I decided to add a few more to the wooden dough bowl fall display so picked up a bag of minis at the dollar store.
And did the same steps on them sans the ultra grip
note the difference the wax makes on left vs solid paint on right
