What to learn about distressing with Caromal Colours?

My latest student Luila, from Tulsa. She was awesome and I loved the fact that she  thinks outside the box with her creativity.

Here are some of her creations.

Here she used one of my sewing tools to make marks that turned out like this

Some great samples….don’t you think so…

Be sure if you live in the Tulsa area you and want to learn more about Caromal Colours let me know and I will put in contact with Luila or if you are interested in become an IR or CIR for Caromal Colours please contact me and I will give you all the information.

learning faux 4 under $100 with Caromal Colours

Would you like to learn faux finishing for under $100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am  an artist and owner of Artistry in Faux, from Little Rock Arkansas, specializing in custom decorative faux painting for residential and commercial projects. I will continue to offer my services to homeowners, builders and designers but having  been chosen to join the team of educators through Caromal Colours is an avenue I have been wanting to follow for some time. As a professional finisher I want to reach out to those who are passionate about doing projects in their own homes, such as, redoing cabinets, furniture

or  just adding pizazz to a room with a glaze and stencil

or to those who may not have the budget to hire a professional.

With the economy or  just the feeling of accomplishment of doing a project yourself people are focusing on fixing up what they have instead of purchasing those items.

So I would like to introduce to you Country Living Artisan Collection of Decorative Finishes by Caromal Colours. The line of products are used for distressing, gilding, plastering, glazing and more.

Time for a workshop with hands on training from a professional finisher-

They can be textured, worn, distressed, or smooth…and did I mention the ease of application.

—————————————————-

This is one class that will make gift giving so much more because it will be something that you personally created, unless you like it so much you keep it for yourself…lolol

—————————————————-

Using a translucent medium with an open time makes this application so easy. You can transform your room in no time. It is all ready to go..no mixing of paint and glaze.

New Sticky Back Technology!

• Each stencil has a sticky back – no extra adhesive necessary!
• You can clean and re-use the stencil.
• …allows you to use your own creativity to enhance your surroundings. With a little imagination, the possibilities with stencils are endless. Many stencils can be used right side up or upside down. They can be applied horizontally or vertically. You can stencil the whole design or use just part of it. You can also be creative when determining where to place your design.

—————————————————-

textured plaster-not glazed/glazed

Are your walls white? Do they need some warmth? If so the classic plaster is a great option because it comes in texture or smooth. You can glaze or don’t glaze.
