Blue stone Door – Love from Anne

by | Gnomes, Fairies, Mermaids & magical beings, Tutorials

I love doors ? Do you?
I’m that person who goes on trips away and their photos are filled with pictures of doors .
I’ve had the best chats and cups of teas with people in Nepal on their front door step . Just stop and start chatting and not long after a sweet spicy black tea arrives .
You have not lived until you have sat with an elder in the village by their doorway and drank a pepper tea ☕️ yep sugar and pepper … ok the first time you get quite a shock – it hits you . But I crave it now , I chatted with my daughter last night in Nepal and we were saying we wish we could go village and drink pepper tea. Oh quarantine be done soon please I miss my adventures…..
The custom in Nepal is to have your front door open before light hits at dawn or you are gossiped that you are the lazy one . You should have the door open and be welcoming of visitors . If your door is not open watch out you will be talked about ! My daughter rises opens the door and goes back to bed ?? it took me years to figure out why … just so passer by people did not talk about us ??‍♀️
I prefer the mystery of the closed door … where you can make up a story about the mysterious doing behind the doors . I’m going blue what will be your door colour ? What mystery lays behind your door? Come and share your door with us on Facebook – CLICK HERE

Colour on your rock – I have just painted a nice even layer. You do not want to paint it to thick. The more layers on the rock the more chance it has of peeling off later as the water in the base evaporates. Click on the image below to find out how best to paint on rocks!

This rock has no shading but you can try some if you like .

Shading makes all the difference to the end result. Adds depth to the Image.
I use clean water and a size 2 or 4 filbert taklon paintbrush click on the below image to learn the technique – or head to YouTube to watch how I do the shading.
