Your work is beautiful and you are by far one of the best instructors I’ve come across on chalk painting. I’ve binged watched all or most of your videos, some of them twice over the past couple of days. They seem to have been the only outlet to take my mind off my best friend fighting for her life in ICU. Sadly, we lost her last night and no one could be by her side because of the virus. I find myself coming back to your channel and thought I should say thank you, thank you, for your beautiful videos.
Jeanne Dorsey ... I am so sorry Jeanne to hear about your friend ( that is unbelievably difficult) and there are no words, my deepest condolences. In hard and very difficult times finding an outlet is very healthy to help with the emotional heartache to help you stay focused and allowing you some relief, I am so touched that some of my videos can help you in anyway possible to give your mind a small break ❤️🤗 I can’t thank you enough for your thoughtful words and feedback and it truly makes me so happy to hear you are getting some value from the tutorials and I hope you can apply some to your future projects and if you ever have any questions please feel free to contact me anytime 🙏❤️🎨 I do really appreciate your time to make your comment it really means so much to read 🙏🤗
I have to admit I was not a fan of the speckling but when you showed the close up it made sense and I could actually see that velvety finish. I beautiful piece❤️
Annabella-Bug ... thank you so much Annabella 🙏❤️ I really appreciate your kind words and feedback 🤗 The fly specks are not always a favourite for some but it sometimes can really add some beautiful character to some pieces or certain finishes 😉❤️
Red’s Relics here, I can’t tell you how much I’ve loved your tutorials. You make it so easy. Also love,love, love this look. Thanks for sharing you gift with us!
Big fan of the fly speck! I am really loving them colors together! Gorgeous as always Christina, what a big roll that fabulous texture plays. ❤ Thank you for sharing your talent 🙂
Nikki Lloyd ... your comments are my treat and reward 🤗❤️ I am so appreciated of your thoughtful words Nikki 🙏🙏 I have an extra special tutorial coming soon 🙌🙌
Nerida Alvarez ¡Hola! ¡Muchas gracias por las palabras amables! ¡Sería fantástico ver tu proyecto terminado! Gracias de nuevo por ver y suscribirse! 💕🙏🎨
The Reclaimed Heirloom gracias Cristina !!! Eres tan linda y amable , ya tengo las pinturas !!, solo estoy viendo tus técnicas para tratar de que me quede lindo el trabajo como lo haces tú , y claro q te mandaré foto de lo que haga para que me des tu opinión . Bendiciones 😘🤗
the reworks ... thank you so much for your thoughtful words 🤗💙 I diluted the colours pretty good to really be able to guess was difficult, even when I look 👀 I could guess Antibes or mix of Provence 🤪 So glad your liked the tutorial 🙏💙
The Reclaimed Heirloom I ordered one of the meshers you use from Amazon - can’t wait to get it & kind of spruce up/highlight a couple of pieces I already have - I have learned a lot from your tutorials !
As always your tutorial is very detailed and you offer such a variety of techniques. Love the results. Now to get brave enough to mix all those colors!
Dianne Markoski ... thank you so much Dianne for your thoughtful comment and “yes” it’s all about being brave! Never fear it’s only what holds us back! It’s only water base paint , completely harmless! You can add and take away anytime! Play with it and I always remind myself to paint as if I was applying make up, light and blend making everything look fresh again! Furniture deserves new outfits too lol 😂
Belinda Anderson ... thank you so much Belinda for your thoughtful comment 🙏💙 Definitely give the Annie Sloan paint a try!! It sells in sample sizes which you can try a small project like an end table or chair! This is great a trial test to see how the paint works and see for yourself up close and personal! One of my first projects was an old antique chair and I remember painting it in Olive and added a white wash on top I still love ❤️ it after 8 years!
This is so beautiful- I decided to try this technique and it was a huge fail. I’ve been using AS for over 2yrs and have completed enough pieces to where I finally stepped out of my comfort zone - It wasn’t as easy as it looks (for me anyway). I used my mister, I used less paint, so many things. I’m still working on it now. Even though it hasn’t been smooth sailing for me, I really appreciate your videos and guides. I’m not giving up...lol What I would LOVE, is if you would do a video on glaze. I know you use it and would love to know more. I’ve never used it and would love to give it a try. Please consider it and 😉 Thank you!! ❤️
Danielle Earhart ... that’s fantastic you have it go and it’s not easy to step out of your comfort zone ( I have been there and still get caught in it) so sorry to hear your not happy with your attempt but remember I had to practice before I started making tutorials, I just try hard to explain anything I can to make it as easy as possible but in the end it will still need a bit of practice and truly believe you will get it and love it 😍 I have learn tons over the last year if not 2 putting new ideas and techniques and I read a lot of books and blogs, but trust me, my first couple of attempts turned out not so pretty lol 😂 But anytime I haven’t quit made what I wanted I go back and with a bit of patience, I did it!! Some techniques will come to you very easy and remember some will be a little challenge but you sound experienced and have a very good understanding of the chalk paint so I am very confident you are going to get it and probably look better than mine 🤗🎨💙 I will definitely be putting more tutorials on glaze and techniques with glazes 😉🙌🙌
The Reclaimed Heirloom You truly inspired me to take this step, thank you!! Im working at it (watch, it’ll end up being my best piece to-date, lol 😂) I can hear you saying, “it’s gotta be ugly before it gets pretty.” You’re teaching many people, that’s pretty amazing ❤️ thanks again!
Absolutely wonderful ... I loved your technique and the mix of colors ... Can I get those pictures in Spain? Greetings and do not stop recording more videos.
Marta Baez ... thank you so much for your kind comment and support 🙏💙💙 What pictures are you referring to? Thank you again your your thoughtful comment 🙏🎨
