Happy Ocean Whale Art Cafe Project
This cheerful little whale ornament is sure to make you smile. Perfect for year-round wall décor or saved for a whimsical touch on your Christmas tree. Each piece is hand-carved in Traverse City by Shelly Drews, making every whale uniquely its own with slight variations in size and detail.
If you plan to paint here in person - we will supply paint and brushes for you to complete this project.
Recommended Paint:
Acrylic paint works best for our wood Art Café Projects.
We love Folk Art Multi Surface Paints as well as Apple Barrel Multi Surface Paints
Tips:
Start with a neutral base coat on your project first. The wood absorbs a lot of paint, so laying down one solid layer helps the other colors glide on more smoothly and look more vibrant.
If you really wanna go all the way, give your project a light sanding after your base coat dries. Focus on the edges and sand off any rough bits of wood left by the band saw.
