I spray painted the brass filigree in cream, but oddly it looked quite gray, so I switched to Lumiere Pearlescent white, and then patinaed the dogwood flower, bird, and bee with Vintaj Patinas. I added a brass flower cap and inserted a crystal chaton, and voila!
I am quite pleased with the overall effect of shabby chic vintage. The vintage rosary chain from my own stash complements the pearlescent highlights on the filigree.
