A Taste of Chalk .......

That is the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

A couple of pics of two of the techniques Moira and I covered on Sunday :-

1.

One coat of Old Violet as the base, the stenciled with Old White using a

small sponge roller - the radiator type - applying gently and building up the colour.

Clear wax applied ,allowed to dry , then buffed to give a fab smooth finish.

The finished piece reminded me of a vintage Laura Ashley design.

2.

A base of  Old Ochre chalk paint, then traditional decoupage technique -- photocopies of designs-- applied with

 Mod Podge, then the images softened with more paint . Allowed to dry then stage one crackle applied -

dried .

Stage two crackle applied and dried.

Coated with clear wax

Then finished by antiquing with the dark wax.
Buffed to give the super smooth finish again.

FAB !!!
