"the paint goes on the gazebo". After a feeble attempt at painting our gazebo a few years ago (the entire thing PEELED and chipped). I spent weeks sanding and prepping the gazebo for some fresh paint. On Memorial Day my darling brother came over to assist with the painting. He thought it would go much faster if he sprayed the paint on . . . Well, if you look closely at the photos - he got more paint on himself than the gazebo. This is my submission for the Jan. multi pic challenge. A pretty simple lo - lots of distressing, some messy painting/inking and I made the molding paste to use with the chicken wire mask. TFL
