After a few days of letting them cure outside in the carport I brought those babies in and put them to work: You really want to just hold the can about 12″ away and keep your arm moving the whole time (there are more spray painting tips for ya right here). It took about five thin thin thin coats (more of a mist than a real coat of paint). Here they are all primed up and steely gray:īut spring is in the air! So some happy yellow spray paint was just what the doctor ordered. First I gave them a few thin and even coats of primer (slippery ceramic things like this usually do best with some spray primer before any spray paint). Poor guys.īut I had big plans for these little orange and black sponge painted horse heads from the start. And then they sat in our playroom for 12 months. But I did have these guys that we bought for $2.50 each almost exactly a year ago in Delaware in a whirlwind thrift-store-palooza. Although, in my defense I’ve apparently been hoarding other things like coat hooks and old light fixtures too, so it’s not like I have a spare room full of ceramic animals. I’ve started to realize that my little self-imposed “Dude, Get On That Already” challenge should probably just be called “So I’ve Been Hoarding Little Animal Friends And Now I Get To Spray Paint Them.” Here’s Exhibit A and Exhibit B. ![]() So Happy V-day from our slightly green household to yours! Now let’s horse around a little… Oh yeah and we’re supposed to shoot some cover shots tomorrow (ahhhhhhhhhhhh) but we won’t think about that right now. But there’s a twist today: we’re trying not to vomit! Poor Clara got sick the entire evening on Saturday and into the morning on Sunday and now it appears that John and I have the bug… but the show must go on! The good news is that we finished all of our secret projects so we just have to get the last 20 in the can by Friday and we’re done-zo. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! We’re celebrating with Burger, Clara, each other, and a photography crew in our house for the third straight week.
