Tiny Bird Gets a Facelift
I received this ceramic bird from a fellow treasure hunter and just love the shape. However, the color wasn't my style. So, I updated it according to my preference. First, I sanded it. Then I applied two coats of Zissner's 1-2-3 Primer. The product is great when the surface you are painting is glossy/slippery (for example my husband and I have painted plastic crown moldings and ceramic tile with it. It is great and passes the "scratch test").

After the primer, I brushed on leftover pale yellow paint I had sitting around the house. Finally, I took fine grit sandpaper and "roughed up" a few areas. The result - another shabby chic bird! It looks great in the china cabinet I blogged about in one of my previous posts.
