Another project I finished, was this vintage magazine storage table - This is a flea market find and I knew I could do something special with it for re-sale!
As you can see she was very plain Jane, but just look at her lovely curves; I had to snap her up and bring her home with me !
The adorable frame is from Lauren's Etsy shop MyWonderfullyMade !
More to see....
I've been wanting to try the graphic image in white, so I decided to go with black colour!
First I gave her a few licks of white paint for contrast, followed by this jet black colour!
I found the French signage and the scroll at The Graphics Fairy and the birds on a branch image at Knick of Time !
I used the lead pencil method to trace the outlines of the images onto the surfaces. I then used a white paint pen to get the effect I wanted ! To finish her off I lightly distressed her to let the white peak through and a clear coat to protect her new look!
I hope I find a good home for her !

This is really lovely, such a wonderful transformation. Done with a paint pen? I need to investigate those!
ReplyDeleteOh this is stunning! I can't believe you paint these images in after tracing them -- you are one talented and PATIENT artist! Thanks for showing my picture and link -- very much appreciated! It's Memorial Day weekend here so on top of cleaning the house (ugg!) I've been busy working on projects -- so nice to have the extra day this weekend to do that!
