Chickadee tray

This little tray was my first attempt at painting in many, many years.  I had an old gold-colored tray that I never used so I thought it would make a good practice piece.  I applied two coats of Annie Sloan chalk paint in the color Old White and roughed up the edges a little with a sanding block to give it an aged look.  I had this little bird stencil, so I stenciled the outline of the image but hand-painted the details.  I applied a coat of clear wax and now I have an adorable little tray that is cute enough to use as a tray or a piece of wall art.
