It's really very pretty, especially with the bands of copper. A a decoupager, though, I would have cut the roses out and spread them over the whole table. Even though that is very fiddly it is still less work than all the stippling, [and I might have put the copper on the edges of the table top, too.] Thanks, I really enjoyed this project!

A tip for next time... the paper edges will blend in better (and probably mold into shape better on the curved areas) if they're actually torn instead of cut... creating a kind of "deckle edge" that will blend in better with this technique. Nicely done anyway!

Where do you transition from “refinishing” cast off pieces to creating a piece of art? This project certainly lands on the art side. The creativity content is exceptional and the subtle appearance of blue rose images demonstrates mastery of technique. AND, the surprise metal highlights ground this magnificent study in blue. This art piece certainly deserves its brand “Furniture Fables by Andy.”

Wow! I have missed you! So glad you are back! But I just have to admit, I thought you had fallen off the deep end with this one - paper flowers cut / torn into odd shapes then glued onto wooden furniture?! Then painted over - but not really. OH my! The end result - as usual - is stunning! But tell me - in the interest of long term use of this beautiful piece - how does it hold up to dust with all of the different textures - paint and wax and gilding - knowing how dust settles so nicely over time - do you have to dust daily? Or does the dust add to the piece? Do the waxed parts harden - or are they a bit sticky? I'm confused when it comes to that wax you are using.

@FurnitureFablesbyAndy

Жыл бұрын

Many thanks, Sandy! And that's ok - I totally get that! So as far as the use of the piece - it is painted with an all-in-one paint, which means the paint already has a topcoat/sealer in it. The areas that have the decoupage paper are sealed with a separate topcoat, so the top of the piece is like any other - absolutely fine to be dusted, or to have objects on top of it. As far as those gilded areas that are waxed - that will "dry" and harden to a matte, smooth finish (not sticky).

Cute table! The floral pattern and those blues are my fave- reminds me of those blue china plates. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas & Happy New Year! Excited to see all the cool projects for season 5 🎉🎉
