ARTICLES DE PARIS french dressing chest

 

ONE MONTH TO WIN IT

craft competition started last week so

I stopped in to see all the project for the week and to cast my vote.

There are 12 compeditors and each week there is a required subject to work with.

The first week brought many projects using graphics from the well known site

THE GRAPHICS FAIRY

It just so happened there was a great lingerie chest revamp that definetly stuck out in the competition.

I love a great furniture redo.

FREDDY AND PETUNIA

Mean while I had a dresser stuck in the corner of my work room needing a little something special.

Heres what I did and the image I used.

 

After altering the printout into 9 reverse sheets from the computer, trimming it, taping it together and positioning it on the drawers it took an hour and a half to burnish the transfer onto the surface.

 

My hands and arms do get sore because I don’t stop once I start because

I dont want to risk the image shifting.

 

Michaels has tons of Sharpie Markers for all sorts of projects.

Who could ask for more than paint in a pen. I bought 2 brown

paint pens for this dresser.

I talked about using Sharpies when I first did my TRAVEL CHEST

Once finished I sanded all the drawer faces for an aged look.

Then they get waxed and buffed.

 

 

Different graphic transfer methods can be found here?
