Alien Tree Hanger


  • Designed to as an outdoor decoraction, in particular to be hung from a tree to swing in the breeze, this little Alien was my first all paint project.
  • Made out of Scrap Pine it is painted with various acrylic paints and top coated with a whopping 8 coats of MinWax Polycrylic.
  • Each coat of finish was sanded with 400 to 600 grit wet/dry sanding paper with a final buffing out with 600 grit.
  • The Little Alien Swinger measures out to an approximate 16 inches tall and 10 1/4 inches wide.

This is the first whimsical project that I have ever worked on. It was a lot of fun especially experimenting with mixing the paint to achieve the correct alien skin tone that I wanted.
