I attended a course today and really enjoyed it.... I have lots of furniture and bits and bobs I want to make look vintage and shabby chic

Have you started anything new?

Im trying to teach myself to paint , draw , sketch. Im also a bit shabby though not sure i manage chic, but i could be a pleasurable project for someone

Unfortunatly i hate classes but need some peeps for practise, no agenda, portraits are fine if anyone local fancys it.

Well done, I have already renovated 3 sets of drawers and a blanket box, they were all in pastel colours and look really effective.

I would love to see the photos of what you do! I have actually bought some paint, just little amounts to do some small items, but I haven't got the wax yet. There is a person on FB that does the most gorgeous pieces, Stiltskin Studios is the name if you're interested.

I think all crafts are interesting, though some (knitting and crochet!) I find impossible!

I've got a couple of jewellery projects sitting here for when I have the time.

I have some ideas for some leatherworking projects too when I can afford to buy the tools I need.

I'd like to make my own restraints and harnesses.

not as large as the make I got introduced to today!

Annie Sloan had 30 odd

Authentico had over 100!

Also Annie Sloan is thicker-not good, would use her stuff after today.

You can make your own chalk paint quite easily. I had a shabby chic business for 5 years and have just folded it up. All you need to do is mix the emulsion with fine grout or plaster of paris until nice and thick. No need to buy expensive stuff...just don't tell Annie Sloan or Farrow and Ball...lol
