i admit it.
i love me some gold spray paint!
not exclusively around holiday time either… and it runs in the family: my mom was recently overheard at a flower arranging party saying, “i just want to paint…something!” as she wielded a can of gold.
but really, gold is such a beautiful color and this time of year, when blossoms are hard to find, it makes things SO beautiful.
here are specimens that were used for this, but i really just love these photographs of the preparation.
“If you can’t deep fry it, spray paint it gold” as my friend Paula likes to say. It’s a southern thing and if it isn’t we’ll claim it anyway.
so pretty.
