This large tin palm leaf is 22 inches long and about 9 inches tall. it has ball feet and i'm sanding all the rusty paint off it to repaint it. should i paint it close to the original brown or a gold or silver? it's probably from Pier 5 or something. i can't wait to see how it looks on the low tile table i just made!
I say give it some colour, like bright yellow or orange.
chartreuse, maybe?
Sure!
Yea, something that really pops! Awesome!
i've been cleaning this up and i'm unclear as to why there is some rust on it, as it appears to be made of copper. i wonder why?
Copper plated?
i don't think so walksoftly. they have the feel of copper, and they sure don't look copper plated. i think that there was some metal on top of them which rusted on. it's coming off though - slowly.
you were right again, walksoftly! it is copper plated.
Looking forward to the reveal!
