American Baseball

Happy Sunday everyone.  Here is another Pinteresting inspired post.  I picked up these three baseballs last weekend at a sale.  Right afterwards I saw this idea on Pinterest and got right to work.  I used navy blue, cardinal red and ivory white acrylic paint and then I went over them with an antiquing gel that I had with my craft paints.  I think these look very Pottery Barn and a whole bowl or cloche of them would be fabulous and not just for the 4th of July.  Great for a primitive or Americana decor style.

I can't believe I didn't have a small star stencil.  I had to wing it with my freehand style, but it kind of goes with the primitive feel.  Don't you agree?  If I do more of these, I will invest in the stencil, but it's okay for now.  Thanks for stopping by.
