    To anyone mixing the plaster: it needs to sit.
    2:1 water to powder. Dump powder gently into water, and do nothing. For about 2 minutes. It's soaking.
    Then you can gently stir. No air bubbles, no vigorous mixing. You get a creamy mixture.

    Stunning, thoughtful, and painstakingly crafted work yet again! (Not that I would expect anything less from our resident good witch, Christine.) 😊
    I’m also an artist, but I often forget that art isn’t limited to works on paper and canvas. Christine reminds me that LIVING artfully is a real thing, and a very meaningful practice that can enrich and transform our living spaces into their own unique works of art…more like their own little worlds, even. It’s inspiring.
    I live in an apartment, so I hesitate sometimes to give it the time and energy it would take to create something so beautiful, because I don’t know how long I will be here. But, really…do any of us ever know that? I think it’s time to stop thinking of my home as a stepping stone to the “real thing” and to take advantage of the fact that my landlord kind of gives me free reign to do whatever I want with my somewhat decrepit 1920 apartment. ❤ Thank you for your magic, Christine! As always, I’m inspired and on tenterhooks to see what you come up with next.
    Love and kudos to your furry management team! ❤❤❤

    So many beautiful and well built to last homes like this are being bought for the land, completely torn down for some modern monstrosity to be put up in their place or remodeled to modern to the point they lose their very soul and character. It's so nice to see someone with the talent, time and money buy one of these lovely historic homes and restore it to how it looked when it was brand new. You're saving that home Christine and I think this is a lovely and touching tribute to not just yourself and your talents but to the original owners that no doubt loved that home and were very proud of it. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

    I love all of these episodes. I live in Saratoga Springs and was raised around things from this age. It gets into your soul and becomes part of you. It's hard to explain how one develops comfort and security in the spirit that reverberates through the decades. I guess I sound like I'm babbling, but if you understand and experience the charm and tranquility of the past, it's as if you are one with the past and its energies. Christine is a master of resurrection. I know so many like her, but none as competent. I can't say enough. If Christine ever visits the racing city (Saratoga Springs), she will see an amazing community that has a rich and endless array of mansions and culture that runs along the rails of her genius mind.

    Aren't those birds called barn swallows? The light fictures today and in a previous episode are stunning - I love antiques.

    Dear Christine, beautiful plaster work. I can tell you're safety conscious by your respirator. Have you considered using an air scrubber too? I use one when I work on my 96 year old house and it's been a game changer. It captures all of the dust and filters it before venting it out of the house. Also, have you considered using Plaster Weld to hold the plaster ornaments on the ceiling? I use it whenever I repair plaster but I've never used it to reattach pieces like you created. Thanks for the video. Very inspirational.

    When I moved into my home the previous owner had fitted ceiling roses made of some kind of styrofoam. One of the first things I did was replace them with real plaster ceiling roses. Yours are beautiful
