I have been shopping since days, trying to get some faux painting supplies together...my shopping basket remains empty. Somehow, I knew, that there was a reason, that I mostly create or teach faux painting with anything I can find. Often I use flour, vinegar, coffee, sugar, and gelatin, etc. etc.
Here in Europe, I am in a "pickle", without aforementioned simple mediums. Although, I love and use some American faux finish products, such as the Modern Master line, Crescent Bronze, Golden and Perfetto, here I must start from scratch; just because, these products are not being sold in Germany. The German faux finish shelves are bare.Where are the beautiful finishes from yesteryear and which I remember so well?
Yesterday, I was at "OBI", the German Home Depot, trying to "fill my bucket". I did find some wonderful brushes. BTW, I do have a brush fetish! Don't we all?????
I will continue my search for mediums that I can use creating new and exciting faux finishes. Please stay tune! Until next time..... Servus!! Heidi
I'd love to learn more about using basic household items (coffee, gelatin, etc) for faux painting! I also have an ever-expanding collection of brushes, it's a hard habit to break.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for commenting. Sorry that I have not been on the site to blog more. For sure I will write out more recipes using nontraditional mediums.
