I see vintage plastic wall plaques pretty regularly at the thrift stores. Most don't appeal to me, the ones I might like aren't the ones I find. I was on my way out one day and did my last glance as I went down the aisle to leave and spotted these. Not my subject, but spot on for our resident historian. They were 99 cents a piece and far be it from me to pass up a new project! A coat of white primer and acrylic paints--voila!
Working with these craft acrylics is new to me. I love that you can thin them down and apply layers building up the colors and creating texture. The metallic colors are excellent for a water based paint. Soap and water clean up and no odor! I ended up finding way more of these paints than I needed at the thrift (funny--whenever I need something a few trips to the thrift and there it is!)
