I had never really been happy with the color of this project.
I posted it here...
so it was time for a redo...
I tried antiquing it a bit with some stain....
so I decided to do what seems to work every time; a crackled, distressed look
here's the magic so to speak...
paint this on,let it dry.
add top color, and
wala....
watch it crackle...
so much better...( this turquoise is my new favorite color)
Here is a few more items that got this treatment...
these frames hanging here by my kitchen sink....
this frame; that frames my immortal love...
(Do you have anything you'd like to crackle? :)
After all isn't changing ones mind a woman's liberty?

Oh I love to crackle. I use to do this professionally, until I retired from a neck injury. I'm fine now. I was doing faux, decorative painting, and murals.
ReplyDeleteI like yours, very pretty! I think next I will crackle my jewelry chest. I will show you if I ever do.
