A Gem Waiting To Be Re-discovered ..

Hello my dear friends,

on one of my recent outings with my daughters I found this neat little piece. It is a true little gem in my eyes just waiting to be re-discovered.

Unfortunately someone had taken a can of silver spray paint to this lovely piece and even if I try and strip it chemically, I will not be able to save the lovely patina that time gives a piece so I will have to think of a different way to make this piece 'shine' again. 

I just love all the different details this little treasure has and I am just hoping I can do the right thing to it to make it right.







Here you can see the bad paint job.


I am hoping the next time I share this with you, I would have transformed it into a little beautiful gem once again which I will share all you lovely bloggers once it is done. So, whenever you have a little spare time, why not stop by and visit me again, here at Todolwen and see what I have been doing.

I hope you are well my dear friends and life is treating you kind.

Have a peaceful and creative day.

  1. Good Morning Karen, you have a wonderful eye to spot something and see it's potential. Looking forward to seeing your 'beautiful creation' of this sweet item. So sorry for such a mess with others misusing your photos. I have been a follower of yours for years now and know what you are like and am not dismayed by what others (not reputable) try to do. Blessings and smiles, Emilou :-)
