I would leave her gray. I might glue on some cobalt blue glass bits - like the ones you use in vases - around the edges of her dish.

What Kate said. You might be very disappointed if you you paint her. The way you found her is part of what made you fall for her.

Cliff

Very wise, Cliff. I like the way you said that. I often buy something then decide I'm going to 'improve' it. Sometimes it works but usually exactly what you said is true - I bought it because I already liked the way it looked!

Kate,

I notice you are advising gluing something onto it:) I think you have a bad case of mosaicitis, lol!

Pat

You got me! I'm putting glass beads on every thing! The dogs don't even take naps around me anymore for fear they'll wake up with sparklies all over them.

Kate, I have one of those fountains with a pitcher at the top pouring into 3 small bowls below. I put those glass beads in the water to make it sparkle (along with river rock). I also use the glass beads on top of potted plants soil to pretty up the dirt!

Marion, share a picture of your angel with us. I'd love to see her. Are you going to name her "Cindee"??? hee hee

All cool ideas, if you want an old classic look, how about a bronze color with the blue beads? It's a thought.

I'd post photos but I can't seem to make photobucket work with all the other photo programs DH has in this computer. I can't figure it out and he just gets frustrated trying to teach me. The ADD gets in my way and I lose interest. Someday I'll figure it out.

I can vision her all painted, but I was thinking of doing the yogert and moss to make her look old.

"yogert and moss" ????

Tell me more!

I really do know how to spell yogurt. This is one way to age a pot or statue.

I've also heard beer (due to the yeast) would also work. But I ain't wasting of my precious beer to get mold! lol

Are you sure she's concrete and not that resin that looks like concrete? Either way, don't paint her. If she's concrete, eventually the water will wear off the paint and you'll be touching it up forever. If she's resin the water will wear off the paint.

I have a concrete fountain in front of the house, a resin one in back and I take care of a resin one at church, so I've had some experience with painting them.

Julie

Oh she's concrete she has to weigh 150#.
Thanks everyone I'm gonna let her age and see what she looks like after rainy season. Of course it will probably be this time next year before she gets to her home. LOL DH keeps booking motorcycle events for us to do on Sunday's. LOL Oh the joys of being self-employed.
