Guest Bunnyblossom Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 I have a carousel horse music box I found in a free box, it needs an actual music box and I want to paint it to look like a night mare. You can find music box mechanisms on Ebay or maybe wish.com if you’re looking. I just youtube the song it plays if it’s one I haven’t heard.

PyriteHearts Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I found one on Amazon that I like for a decent price. It will be the theme for Castle in the Sky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyriteHearts Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) Yes. I'll chronicle my progress once I have the pieces and paints ready. This is the before as I found it, one of the legs is broken and badly glued back on but I have an idea to stabilize it.

PyriteHearts Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 I finally finished my painting and now have to collect materials for the bottom but I'm happy with the result. Some sort of egyptian/ghost/royalty sort of thing. Regardless I promised to show my results and I just love to paint statues.

Guest Bunnyblossom Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 NSFWI finished making the stickers for our punishment wheel tonight.

PyriteHearts Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firematrix Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Agreed the new altered version looks way better than the original. If you plan on handling it alot don't forget to give it a clear coat to prevent the paint from rubbing off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddybears PLB Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) I've just finished upcycling 2 Lampshades. They went from a light brown colour to a white and grey with white cotton string and a grey leaf ribbon. It was such good fun and only cost €5!! I always have trouble uploading photos... so i can't put up a before and after pic unfortunately... which is kinda the whole point... now i feel like there was no point to this post without pics..ha!! It was time consuming but so simple and saved me alot of money.... and it was fun most importantly of all ☺ Edit: so i got the photo up on imgur...best i can do cos can't seem to upload pictures to the forum... here's the link https://imgur.com/a/PLoGCxW Edited January 11, 2019 by Daddybears PLB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firematrix Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 What was the original design for the one on the right. Something about a lamp shade with many holes in it just seems kinda counter productive to it's own purpose. I'm assuming there was ribbon running through them?

Something about a lamp shade with many holes in it just seems kinda counter productive to it's own purpose. I'm assuming there was ribbon running through them? The brown one on the right was the original one and the holes are part of the design of the shade, not counter productive at all because they in fact let light shine through what would otherwise be a lampshade that would not let enough light out and the room would be too dark.

Firematrix Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 But doesn't it create a lot of miniature spotlights with the holes? I've never had one, that's why I'm asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly I am using a knockoff one though. hehe Thanks for filling me in!! ☺ looks like a cool idea for some diy projects....I'll have to look into getting some to try out! Lovin the variety of colours you can get! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
