Whether it is of the three dimensional type or hand painted artwork, ribbons, vines and berries are popular among country decorators. Slates were once used to roof a house and also made the ideal surface for decorative painting. However they are becoming more difficult to find and do tend to be difficult to hang due to their weight. This faux slate that Mary Sue has base coated a nice black shade, has then been decoratively painted with yellow/gold ribbons, vines and berries. The slate has been painted with acrylics and sealed for easy cleanup. She then finished the project off with a leather strap making this 11 x 3 inch wall decor ready to hang!
