That's right, in fact distressing a project is so rewarding for me.
(I love how sanding and glazing bring the details out.)
For example I got this plate from a garage sale for $2.00
I saw that it had "good" bones
...for a plate
;)
I really didn't love the darker brown colour of the middle pattern.
So......
I primed, painted and lightly distressed it and made it something wonderful.
Gotta love Krylon's Ocean Blue with
sanded edges and details
ahhhhhh, see not distressing at all.

Now I just need to fill it with something.....I guess it's time to go shopping.
maybe something white or tarnished metal or maybe some mercury glass.
Very cool! I still haven't gotten into projects like that yet. I think they scare me. But yours turn out so well! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThat plate is really pretty! I love the sanded edges.
