Just an after, I forgot to take a before

Yep, I shoulda snapped a picture of this trophy-ish thing before I painted it.  It was slightly vintage, not antique, kind of a fake, green brass color on a wooden block.

I dry brushed some white chalk paint over it, leaving some of the dark tones to peep through in crevices.

The wooden base was painted too, but the end result was sort of blah.  So, I covered it in text, added an old clock face, a text pom pom, and rhinestone.

It’s much better now.  
I guess you’ll have to take my word for that since you have nothing to compare it to.
