I’ve seen most of these before but that first chair back is a show stopper. It is so beautiful 🥰 I don’t mind admiring it again. The black and the color of the wood together was so beautiful to me. I definitely would’ve bought it. Personally, I would change the white center after purchasing. I would’ve stuck with the black and wood if it matched. The white definitely stuck out if that was your intention. It’s nice when you throw in new techniques or projects.

I love that this video was so long.... I watched the whole thing. I love your signs and techniques

When you are doing crackle paint, can you use chalk paint and acrylic paint together for all of your colors? Also do you have to use real wood or can you do this on particle board? Love watching you turn all this old stuff into something new.

I started out by letting the buyer choose the price (with a lowest price in mind) you might be surprised by how much you get!

This is an awesome video, thank you for the ideas!!! My favorite was the fresh herb one. 🙂 One question... Whenever I use water on wood (I use acrylic paint with a baby wipe for a stained look) the grain of the wood rises and I have to sand it down in order to lay my stencil, etc.... How do you stop the grain from rising when you're using the water to remove the paper? I used to do the polycrylic method like this before getting my silhouette....

@OurUpcycledLife

Wonder what type of wood you’re using. I dont usually have an issue with. Cheaper pressed wood would do that. I use mostly solid pine

That first project is frame from church whitch held painting. Stop of Way of cross.

Is there a reason you paint across the grain of the wood? You also went across the grain when scraping salt off too? Do you achieve something by doing this? Not judging just wanted to ask so I can gleen any tips. Love you ideas and videos. Big fan.❤️😎🙏👩🏻‍🎨🇨🇦 thanks for sharing you talent😎

Is there a way to disguise or remove the Mod Podge residue left in the empty spaces and around the letters etc when you do the reverse graphic technique? I’ve asked this question before. That is the main thing I don’t like about it. This method would be much cheaper and less time consuming than the hand painting I do on my signs. I would love to be able to switch over for that reason. However, I know I would have a hard time selling them in my area unless I could resolve that issue. They look awesome from a distance. I just couldn’t bring myself to sell them with that showing. Is there a solution? Mod Podge is pretty much like a plastic coating. Would painting over those areas work? I know people use it to prevent bleeds when stenciling and then paint over it and say it turns out fine. Have you personally tried painting over those areas?

@OurUpcycledLife

4 ай бұрын

If you are getting that outline, it probably means that you are using too much mod podge. It is a thick product and if you’re applying too much that will show I do find if you paint over it and it is quite thin. It will not show so that could be your issue. Also, if you’re trying to do it on a coloured background instead of white, you definitely will see the outline because mod podge is not completely clear And that’s when I would go in with the paint colour to blend it in

With your graphics can you print as many times u want?
