Custom painted Snudda
Materials: Snudda lazy susan, acrylic paint and urethane finish
Description: My inner 1950's mom came out and I purchased the Snudda about a year and a half ago. I wanted to paint it and do something, but needed some time to think. After being held hostage for a week in the snow I painted. I decide to draw upon the scandanavian prints that I'd seen before and create a chaotic, whimsical piece that quite possibly only a mother could love.
The Snudda required sanding to get the basic finish off and several coats of acrylic paint to get the saturation just right. After it dried I sealed it with a urethane finish since it would come in contact with liquid and kids. That was that.

What a brilliant idea! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever considered the financial opportunities of painting? If not, you should - you are very talented with a brush!! You could even start selling custom painted Snuddas on Etsy.
I love it! But then I'm a mother so maybe that explains it ;-) Seriously though, you did a fabulous job with this!
