Freshly painted bucket

Well, mom was pointing out that I do not update my blog (she calls it the moth site) so I thought I’d post a few pictures.

As of late, I have been getting interested in healing herbs (Catauba, Ashwagandha, Mucuna Pruriens, etc). So I figured it was a good idea to make a storage container for them.

I picked up a few old rusted buckets from work with the plan of refurbishing them a couple of weeks ago and they seemed like a good starting point (though a bit big). After sanding them down and neutralizing the rust I gave them a coat of primer. I decided to go with some bright colors for paint and gave them a few coats.

This weekend I cut some stencils and applied the wording. Next weekend I’ll give them a clear-coat treatment and clean up the stenciling some.

I think they came out pretty good. What do you think?
