Restore Wood with Artist Oil Paint, #diyprojects

Stretch oil paints with linseed oil and let the surface dry for a few days. Artist oil paints can be used as a stain for decks, furniture, or fences in rainbow colors! - check prices here ...

    • @LoveForACountryHouse
      @LoveForACountryHouse 2 месяца назад

      Yes, you can paint your walkways with acrylic bonding medium and then paint the stone or brick design with a thin coat of tinted cement (you can add a little of the bonding medium to that too). You can tint the cement red with powders made for that, or use black with a touch of brown/red for stones.

    I got some cattails to make an arrangement for a friend's baby shower and they looked amazing. But 9 days later, the seeds began to explode. I spray painted some with Design Master Rose Gold. But I had to throw them away to avoid a disaster at home. It was very sad to have to do that because they looked pretty.

  • @TheTinkerersWife
    @TheTinkerersWife 6 месяцев назад

    These are such wonderful trees, and yours is quite a lovely specimen. I can just imagine all the colors of its leaves, especially as they are backlit by the sun. There are so many cultivated varieties in nurseries today. Who knows, it's possible the seedlings your followers grow might end up being a whole new variety! Tha6 would be so cool, and its possible because of to their genetic diversity. Chance seedlings have historically are one source of new varieties. Back when I was researching plants for a local historical site, I learned the Japanese Maples had been cultivated here in Oregon for over a century. Maples like your Acer japonicum tend to reseed readily here in NW Oregon and western Washington, so your followers from out this way should be able to find seedlings pretty easily. The ripe seeds germinate best if they go through a cold period (stratification) for sevetal weeks, like they would naturally experience during our winters here or in Japan. They are forest trees, so having that lovely loamy soil with a good amount of organic matter can help. A good way to get actual forest floor soil for propagation can be by asking permission from private land owners. Japanese Maples also prefer a slightly acidic soil in order to thrive. ...... One more nerdy tip... Their seeds are edible, so when you're out foraging for seed, try gathering some to take home and roast as well.

    Sorry you're having a crush of lantern flies this year. Our state in alerting people but we haven't had many so far thankfully. Tgis us goid info for when anyone does see them here. Its good to know they drown so easily in just water but wonder if thats true when they are in their mature state and can fly. With the brown. Marmotated stink bugs we have add soap to the water before they drown. The other way was to use a killing jar and go out a few times a day and collect them off the bean trellis and other plants.

    • @LoveForACountryHouse
      @LoveForACountryHouse 7 месяцев назад

      Good to know about the soap in case water alone doesn't drown the adults. Believe it or not, I had good luck spraying them with 'Windex' last year. Seemed to put them in a frantic death spiral. Reminded me of the movie "Big Fat Greek Wedding" where the dad says Windex cures everything, lol!

    Do you think this could work for a wicker planter that stays outside? It's in a covered area that is somewhat sheltered. I plan to use it for a little herb garden on the patio and I'd love to try this technique. The planter currently looks very similar to your chair when you first got it for $5!

    • @LoveForACountryHouse
      @LoveForACountryHouse 8 месяцев назад

      Yes, absolutely it will work on your planter. The chalk paint mixed with the wax will stick to the old paint job. You can paint the chalk paint and wax in two separate layers, but it's faster to mix paint and wax first and will give the wicker a soft sheen as if it were newer wicker. The toothbrush will make the job go much faster too.

      This particular Pébéo Vitrail paint doesn't need baking. It's permanent and doesn't need a sealer. We use it on the bottom of the plates and clean them very gently with a cloth, if needed. Pébéo makes a Vitrea paint for ceramics that DOES need baking in a slow oven to make it durable. But the transparent paint doesn't need it. - Stephie

      I'm sure it wasn't anything you did. It sounds like the sealer wasn't standing up to rain. Sometimes sealers are short lived. But good news. Since our color only lasted a few seasons, we're doing a new formula using artist's oil paints and linseed oil. We've started using this outdoors and it still looks bright after two seasons. It's compatible with concrete. We'll post a link on this video when we've used it on the pavers and the new formula is published on RUclips.
