Craft- Plaster- Paint question UPDATE Post #7

[pitc9]

It's kind of hard to figure out just how the paint looks by the photos but it looks like it almost has a faux finish to it... am I right?
It almost looks like it was painted blue first, then they applied white over it.

I can't really tell that any blue paint came off, I can see a few solid white spots, is that where your talking about that the blue came off?

Maybe you can clean it then repaint the entire thing.
You could do a faux finish on it.

so for a total non-creative person, what is a faux finish?

I don't think there is any white on it, just the blue paint on top of the white plaster (if it is plaster). And glitter. It had LOTS of glitter, which has disappeared over the years.

Yes, there are 2 white psts easiest to see, just where the tail splits into the "y" at the end. There are other white spots, not as easy to see in the photo. And they are all over it. From when I tried to use a damp paper towel and OOPS! That didn't go very well.

What about using the soft brush attachment and vacuuming it lightly?

How so pretty.. Hey if you just want to shadow paint it, then use liq coolaid & sponge it on.. You will have to let it draw & redo steps several times.. But it will turn out great..
