On another Saturday excursion, I drove a friend of mine to a town about 1 1/2 hours away. I was on the search for a Madonna to place in my new/old shrine. We spotted 3 shops that were right together. In the last shop, I was looking at strange Presidential election memorabilia when my eye caught this enchanting black Madonna. Black being that the entire statue was painted black. She cost $12.00. I really thought that the Holy Spirit had guided me to her and I swooped her up without hesitation.
I don't know if I'm going to try to strip the black paint off or not. I want a white, shabby, chippy surface, so I will move forward to see what the end result will be.
Both of their faces look sweet, but I think stripping the paint will be a necessity.
The statue fits perfectly in the recesses of the shrine.
This is going to be an amazing project.
