onebluestocking: bjds, designs, crafts and assorted nonsense

i know that’s a bad pun, but i couldn’t resist 🙂

if you look way back to the original awning it was cute, but the colors were just too pale for my refurbished caravan.

so i painted it with more of my metallic blue/teal mix then aged it with copper and brown to get the rust back. it is a much better color now. i like how the original colors show through as just a subtle striped effect

i like the way it looks, but unfortunately it blocks too much of the light, making the interior too hard to see. since i really like all the details on the inside and want them more visible, the awning is off again. i may try it on the back side, or just use it for a completely different, and as yet unplanned project, maybe a little shop? 🙂
