I started staining the limestone this morning. I am using washes of Ceramcoat Trail Tan. It is greatly diluted and almost as soon as it is on, I wipe most of it off with a tissue. Sometimes I blot and sometimes I rub.
The left side is undone. The right side is washed. It's hard to tell the difference in photos. In real life it is quite different.
I did an extra layer of blocks around the lock. Then I painted and used the crochet hook to smooth down the edges.
As soon as I finished putting the blocks around the digital lock, Tessie had to try it.
This time, she refuses to go inside to try it out. Lesson learned.
After viewing the photo, I need to bevel the edges of the extra bricks. They are quite sharp. Somehow, it's easier to see things like that in the photos, than with the naked eye.
I shoved Tessie out of the way so that you could see the finished product.
Well, not quite finished. The lock box definitely needs more work.
I am going back and do it now.
See you tomorrow.
