A family silver plate tray saved for more generations

By Mollie Gieseman, Owner at Mollie Geeez! in Swan Point, MD.

 

A famiy silver plate tray was wearing off and could not be resilvered. To save it I decided to paint it with AS Lem Lem and Provence along with three metallics: silver, antique copper and royal gold. I used Aloha Coatings Pearl Plaster with stencils to get an embossed effect. I created a crazed effect on the back with a stencil and antique copper. After layering and sealing as I went along I was pleased that the tray was sealed and could be used for many more years. Bravo!
