OK I'm done with my machine. I've even taken it out and sewn with it.
In part 1 I left the background white. Well after looking at it long enough I felt I needed to color the background. I used Setacolor paint that was watered down. It beaded up so I took a paper towel and wiped it. I really liked the look so I did the rest of the machine.
Here is a close up of the flowers before they are all painted.
Here it is all painted. Once the flowers were done I felt it needed another layer. so I took a couple of my stencils and used Setacolor cobalt blue to stencil on the vines and leaves. It still needed more so I used a script stencil with dark blue Setacolor paint.
then I went back over some of the flowers with the fine point black sharpie to add definition. Then to seal it all in I sprayed a clear acrylic sealer in gloss finish. I only put a few coats on so it is not shiny gloss like before I painted it. It should stay better longer though.
Here it is all done and ready for service.
Sew see you later,
Bette
