Farm Table Tops...

I've been working on Miniature Dollhouse Farm Tables. I think I have a pretty good design, but want to offer different table top stains, as well as different base colors. Tonight, I could not resist playing around with an idea that I had to create a darker finish on the table top. The darker stain applied to this type of wood gave a silver like finish that I did not like. After lots of sanding and playing around with different techniques, I was able to get a "Restoration Hardware" style finish that I was going for. I still have to apply a sealer, but I love the finish. It's really going to pop on a Annie Sloan White Base.
Next, I would like to try one that has a red chipped paint finish, so I'm going to go study a Primitive/Folk Art Book that I have, then I may attempt to duplicate that style (finger x'd on that idea).
Have a wonderful weekend,
Anita

Parson Chairs and Farm Tables...

I am so excited about this project! Parson Dining Chairs and an Old Farm Table. I created the chair pattern in Illustrator, cut out several with my Cricut, and now I'm working on the upholstery.
I plan on staining the farm table and painting the legs with Annie Sloan Pure White and age it to make it look old. Gotta go cook right now, but might be working late tonight ;).

Here's a peek:

New Photo Booth Fun...

Playing around with my new photo booth. Created a little movie so that you can see the set up and the name of the booth. I also took a few photos with my iPhone. I did nothing to the photos other than crop the size, they are coming out very crisp and sharp.

Back to Mannequins...

Sometimes I start projects and get a little frustrated when I run into difficulties. Well, late last year I started working on covering mannequins with muslin. The goal was to cover, age, then add a stencil number on the fabric. I just love that look…but I ran into some problems getting the fabric to lay nicely on the curves of the figure. I thought about it for a long time and now I think I know how I can resolve the problem. So, next week, "I'm working' on mannequins!

Here's a look at where I stopped last year:

Vintage Table Clock...

It took a few tries to get the clock to work out the way I envisioned. I wanted it to look old and not so perfect, I guess you could say "beat up". Using the rusted technique I was able to accomplish that look. My initial goal was to play around with different Annie Sloan colors, I am not sure if I can achieve the same effect with paints. I'm going to at least, give one a try. I will let you know how it turns out. If it is not successful, this is the design I will make for the shop. I'm also working on a round one (super difficult).
