This verdigris & rust combo totally looks like it belongs in a mermaid's home! I am just getting started painting furniture, but I will work up to this with time. I think it would be super pretty on ironwork or on a storage trunk. So inspiring!
This is brilliant! Thank you! I'm a teacher and I super love and appreciate the teaching you're doing about using one's senses. I just finished making a one off batch of color to paint my butler's pantry, so I was deep into that zone - seeing the color I wanted in my head and trusting my gut about how to achieve it with just what I had on hand. It's a great head space to be in. Not many tutorials take the time to teach so viscerally. It's worth doing. (Also, lol, it brought to mind my grandmother teaching me how to cook, me looking for measuring tools and my grandmother measuring with her palm, fist, and fingertips and not being able to tell me exact measurements. Good thing our hands were the same size!)
"Thank you" seems to feeble a phrase to express my gratitude. I've done my bedroom in a sea bed theme and this effect will be a perfect addition. I've gone way overboard in that room, but its my personal space and I deserve the self-indulgence.
Wow! A really detailed description. I so enjoyed this. I have some old wrought iron patio furniture I want to try this on. Also, I enjoyed seeing someone else’s hands that look like mine. It makes me feel so much better. Most of my friends have lovely manicures while I have short nails and hands and nails that always have stain and paint all over them despite scrubbing them with a brush. But my home and furniture looks like no one else’s. Thanks a bunch for the tutorial and for making me feel better about my different “manicure”.
do not feel bad!! I had my nails painted on a video once and they were chipped some ladies told me my nails were gross. SERIOUSLY?? If that is what is important to her I don't want her following me anyway right?? I can't do manicures, I would destroy them.
@@BellaRenovare I agree. Someone like that does not appreciate what you do and is not likely to benefit from your expert instruction. Most of my friends get me. That’s why they’re my friends. I am great full that you put yourself out there so that so many of us can watch and learn.
Love your creativity! 💖💖 I’m going to be starting a kitchen island adapted from a dresser, but needed inspiration. I’ve watched so many of your videos to get great ideas that I’ve overwhelmed myself with too many wonderful possibilities! Now I’m starting all over again to narrow those possibilities down. I don’t think this one dresser could handle being stained, stamped, raised, chipped, crackled, textured, inlayed, decoupaged, distressed, etc.! 🤣😂🇨🇦
I’m looking for ways to use this that aren’t furniture since I have no space in my teeny apartment for that. Such a cool technique and, as always, thank you for sharing!!!
Ok... here goes nothing! Gonna go for it! I'll share a picture... so very cool!! BTW I'm doing it on a floor vase that sits in my foyer. Thanks for the lesson...
Looks fun its great oh yes I plan to do it.Perfect for my kitchen redo.I was just saying had no idea the direction I was going to go in But its all leaning to italian.Bought the copper back splash first LOVE THE COLOR THE FEEL IT BRINGS TO A KITCHEN TAKE A PIC WHEN DONE.
Well it's me again, I just placed my order with Dixie Belle (well it's all in my cart anyway), I'm finally ready to try this technique. I have a practice little nightstand and then if I love it, it's going on a bathhouse vanity. Hope I'll be showing it off here in the next months. Thanks again for all the pointers.
This piece is amazing !! It definitely looks like something that has been under the sea for a very long time. My memory is not good where I'd be able to remember where I put the wax so I'd put the wax on with on then turn around immediately put the powder on. Great video !! Thanks !!
OK so on another piece you use the sea spray and I’m not sure that there was any patina in it now when you coupled it with the patina and I thought about the under the sea thing I was like that is incredible it really does emulate something that might’ve been discovered under the sea that’s what makes it so beautiful cause it’s so surreal so yes I do love it thank you so much for sharing everything that you do it means so much you have really been a great inspiration to me and I’ve literally gone out and spent $300 just on paint alone I’m that woman that lives in my car so I’ve done a little bit of thrifting not bought anything just allowing my own creative juices to marinate I have a couple of ideas and some of those are spring boarding off of other peoples creations it just doesn’t seem to stop I have some really beautiful ideas and I really pray that I’m able to make that transition from being a rideshare driver to being a Color creator I’m very excited about it I do want to thank you also AJ because she’s been awesome too yeah I think we really need each other and it’s great that you guys are sharing I know it helps grow the company and the line of products I know there’s a lot more to learn so I’m looking forward to it
You are a great instructor because you don't waste time talking too much! Do you have an instructional video on how you finished the upper part of that piece of furniture?
Thank you for the video. Very well done. A link to the actual product instead of just your Amazon shop would be helpful please. I don’t have time to scroll through 72 paints to find the one I want.
This finish is so cool! I’m def ordering some of these! I have a tv stand, of sorts, I’m wanting to make masculine in several ways. I’m going to use an “interesting” finish for the top (??hopefully??), and want to use these products & other added things to kinda get a steampunk vibe…hopefully😳😬🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
