Great way
Thank you! ❤️🙏🎨
Thank you for this tutorial. I have been learning various blending techniques and I cannot get over the fear of being imperfect and seems like this technique will push me outside of my comfort zone. I did not know that you can use glaze this way!
I love this so much I watch it over and over.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🙏🎨
It’s beautiful. Now I’ll watch # 2 of your meshing technique. Thanks so much.
WOW. I have an big Amoire I’ve been wanting to paint for 2 years, but I’ve been afraid no matter how many videos I’ve watched, until now, This technique makes me feel braver, and you make it look so easy. Thank you for all the videos you’ve made for us esp thank you for your time. You are inspirational❣️
Thanks!
Thank you so much Mary Lynn!!! Greatly appreciated! ❤️🙏🎨❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful and unique. Love the messing process. Thanks !!
UNBELIEVABLY STUNNING. Great tutorial. Thank you THANK you THANK YOU‼️
This is totally awesomely beautiful! Thank you for this technique & inspiration❤
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your technique and color choices.
I can't wait to try this technique!
Excelente! Beautiful!!!❤❤❤❤
Beautiful… thank you great ideas.
You are amazing! I am so grateful to be able to watch and learn from you.
WOW!! Wish I had the nerve to do this to my cream colored 7 piece bedroom set!
You have made these dark "virus" times a bit more tolerable to stay @ home. I've learned so much from you & am currently working on an armoire with your latest meshing technique. The tone of your voice is wonderful. Thank you for what you do!
Hi Denise! Glad you liked the tutorials and I plan to make extra tutorials to help us all keep busy though these troubled times! Stay safe! I have a new tutorial posted tomorrow, hope you enjoy it!! 💕🙏🎨
I've been doing this on a small scale with a small sponge. Didn't know it had a name. Your meshing tool looks much better. I want one! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Karen Goode ... thanks so much for your kind comment and sharing your experience 😉🙏
When I read your comment ... I thought 💭 perfect 👌... sometimes with certain furniture pieces a small colour meshing tool would be more helpful! I plan to search for more tools to add to this technique just for that reason ☺️
The tool I am using is great for flat pieces and larger pieces 👌and also for walls so anyone wanting to apply the same colour meshing to a wall would look gorgeous! 🎨💕
I bought the flat paint brush almost two years ago but I didn’t know what it was for! Thank you now I know and can finally use it!
Rose LaRouge ... definitely give it a go! It’s super fun, easy and simple! The original use for the meshing applicator is for floors and walls to create decorative finishes with water base paint so why not furniture 😉🎨💛
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me anytime 😉💛
Loved it 😍
Absolutely stunning. You are such an amazing teacher. Thank you for showing us an amazing technique to which has made me very excited to try. I am very new to furniture painting but have been learning all I can watching videos and this technique is actually the first one I am not so afraid to try outside of the basic painting. I just love the piece you created & have watched this video twice. I just made my shopping list. Thank you! ❤
This is a piece of art!

I bought the meshing tool, decided on the piece of furniture, now just getting my colors in order. I'm doing a cedar chest but I want the colors to look like the ocean and I'm adding moulds! This is a great technique and I can't wait to try it.

Wow!
New sub.
Oh Christina! I love that color, who would have thought olive green could make such a beautiful teal. Might I also say, what a gorgeous piece of furniture.
Ok, you have mr hooked on the meshing. It blends almost seamlessly with amazing texture!
Nikki Lloyd
Hi Nikki! Glad you liked it! It’s fun to color mix with chalk paint!! Give meshing a try would love to see your results send me photos and I’ll post it at the end of my next video tutorials!! 🙏🎨
@@TheReclaimedHeirloom I'm thinking meshing might be the best thing to do on that bed I plan on tackling. On the flat parts anyway, there are lots of curves.
And now, thanks to you, I think I might need to use a transfer or something eye catching for the center of the headboard.
Thank you for sharing your talent ❤
Nikki Lloyd
Hey Nikki would love to see the result!!! Maybe the center part you can do a decoupage. Check out my decoupage tutorial if you not seen it yet. 🙏🎨
@@TheReclaimedHeirloom I have watched your tutorial 3 times and I have been searching for just the right pictures. I would need 2. Lots I need to still figure out before I attack that project. . Lol
Nikki Lloyd
Lol! Take your time! It took me a while to find the right picture I wanted for my piece! 😎🙏🎨
I loved it, like all your videos! Besides being a great artist, you are a great teacher! You explain us with such sweet clarity that you make me wait impatiently to have time to see more of your videos. 🥰🥰🥰
Of this one in particular, I can't see where the video for the second part is!
Hi!!! Thank you so much!!! The part 2 for this video can be found here:th-cam.com/video/IlhuuZKy0oI/w-d-xo.html
❤️🎨🙏
I AM NOT a paint brush blender! This gives me great hope!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🙏🎨
Beautiful, just beautiful! Which meshing tool are you using? The synthetic or wool one?
Oh Miss Christina!! I’ve been waiting all day to get off work and hurry through running my errands so I could get home and watch this video because I fell in love with this piece as soon as I saw the first photos! It was well worth the wait and I must say, you have outdone yourself with this beauty!😍 I swear, every new piece you paint becomes my new favorite but oh my goodness, I have extra love for this one.🥰
Luv2 Cre8 ... thank you so much for your absolutely sweet comment you made my day just reading it!
I am so happy you like this tutorial and the final results! I love it 🥰
The technique is truly amazing and so much faster than with a hand brush 😉🎨
Don’t get me wrong ... there is a wonderful feeling about holding a painters brush and getting creative 😉💙
But with larger pieces of furniture and for those that might find the colour meshing technique easier to get the results they are looking for ... I am so happy to share these techniques and show the concept up close to providing examples!
Thank you so much again for your kind words and support it truly means the world to read this 🤗❤️
The Reclaimed Heirloom
Oh I’m so excited to try this technique and plan on using your link to order the meshing tool! And I think this is part of what sets you apart from so many others...you could have easily kept this amazing and creative technique all to yourself, and yet without thinking twice, you chose to share with us. Now I wouldn’t blame you one bit if one day you choose to do things differently because like soooo many others, you could easily be charging a pretty penny for these tutorials. And if you ever do decide to pursue that road, I just want you to know that wouldn’t make you any less of the kind hearted person you are now, and without hesitation, I would continue to follow and gladly pay for a teacher as great as you! 🥰
♥️Sarah
Luv2 Cre8
She is so creative that she doesn’t need to hide any technics.
As she will create another “crazy “ good one. Fun to learn, to try and to watch.
Luv2 Cre8 ... I am taken by your kindness Sarah, and just beyond tickled that you take the time to write such kind words and truly appreciate every word!
There are so many people with the love to create and want to learn how.
I honestly make more when I see people growing and succeeding so I don’t mind sharing via TH-cam.
When people have shared their projects... it means a lot more than payed tutorials... it feels like a real energy that comes to TH-cam access ... when people can freely watch and create without worrying about $ .... I feel like people don’t have any pressure but to truly explore their creativity... so again that value can’t be bought!
Thank you again for your support 🤗💕
Zhi Zhi
Hi Zhi Zhi!!! You are right! I have another crazy technique to try! Stay tuned!!! 💕🙏🎨
absolutely amazing!!!!! I want to ask you what is the "spong" you use it.
I missed whether u let paint dry before glaze...love this
Christina, I absolutely love your videos. They are very informative and your work is just gorgeous. Just wondering, do you prefer the Wooster Pro meshing tool or the one you used in this video? I can't wait to try this technique using either tool. Thanks for all the helful videos you make.
Sara Wallace ... thank you so much for your kind comment 🙏🎨 and feedback.
The Wooster pro is probably best because it’s lighter both work the same and the larger one is great for larger surface areas. The Wooster does have a proper handle which of course is nice 👍🏻
Both wash up really easy and you don’t need to replace the pad.
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words 💙💙
I love this technique!! So does the application itself leave lines at all from the tool you use? And if so, do they level out so you can’t see them? I would assume they do because it’s chalk paint, but I wasn’t sure if the glaze made a difference with that. Thanks!
Кристина вы красивая и талантливая женщина,руки золотые,успехов и удачи вам.Казахстан
I bought the meshing tool and the glaze. Now I need to decide what colors I want to play with. 😁
Staci Hartman ... that is fantastic 👏👏👏
The meshing tool is light to hold and easy cleaning!! You will love 💕 this technique!
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me anytime 😉🎨💙💙
Staci Hartman ...ps... please send a photo of your completed project design... I would absolutely love to see your beautiful work 💙
Brava🇮🇹👏
You have inspired me to do some painting on my own at my house revamping my existing furniture (so much cheaper than buying new!).... love the exit music who is it?
Thank you so much!!! I am not sure its stock music ❤️🙏🎨
Hi Christina! I love this technique as well! It totally looks like a grade school chalkboard eraser! Im sure you have heard that before! I will get my hands on one of those next to add to my "miracle repertoire " of goodies! I do have a question about not priming your piece first. Especially an old piece. Other artists don't do it either and I wonder about tannins. Thanks for a great tutorial.
Also do you sell a majority of your work or use in your own home?
Don't forget about that corduroy tool 😜❤
Amber Young ... I already ordered 😉🤗
I am super excited to try this tool!
Thanks so much for mentioning this to me 💙...
You paint beautifully & you’re amazing! Can this be done with regular latex paint & not chalk paint without priming first? Your videos rock! Thank you! AAA+++
Amy Broudy ... thank you so much Amy for your thoughtful comment and feedback 🙏💙💙
As for latex paint 🎨 I am not sure 🤔 only because I have never done a furniture project with latex before. With latex being an oil base I would probably recommend a primer first. I would ask a local paint shop in your area based on the brand of paint you have and any steps to prep for , they will give better advice then I could for latex 😉.
I really appreciate your kind words 🎨💙💙
You did another amazing job. I just love this. The colors and the technique turn into a very unique piece. Can’t wait for more of your videos. Have a great weekend.

Hi! Glad you liked it!! Stay tuned I am working on another video for next week!!! Thanks for subscribing! 💕🙏🎨

Anastasia Bekiari .... thank you so much 🙏💙💙💙
I appreciate your kind comment 🤗
Very, very beautiful and glamorous. Your technique opened my mind...first of all, it is effective. Can you tell me what water glaze is basically, so I can look for it in my country. Is it an Annie Sloan product? Is it some kind of water based polish? Thanks a lot!
Hi Its a product that you can find in paint shops like benjamin moore. I have a few more videos on my channel that go into more details about glaze. I have a video list called Glaze you may like! Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🎨🙏
I have never seen this technique, and it’s BEAUTIFUL, looks like so much fun!! I have a question, hope it’s not a silly one! Lol the item you are using to do the blending, I know you said it was for floors. It seriously looks like a sponge mop head. Would any kind of sponge mop head and even sponge roller heads work? Or dies it have to be the ones you have listed and if so, why? I just like knowing “why” I am using a specific product, technique etc. I live your work and really love your step by step instructions!!
Hi Kim, Based on what you are describing I understand your comment! I have used only these types of meshing tools to get the desired effects. The meshing tools either has a synthetic material or its natural wool. I have tried using a sponge (similar to what is on a traditional mop) and I did not get the same blending effects like I get with the ones I have described in my video. I hope this helps!! Thanks for subscribing to my channel!! :)
Hi there, gorgeous work. Can I ask what your using for the messing effect?
Beautiful. Where can 1 get the nest tool?
If your glaze starts to dry while you’re blending, do you add water or more glaze? (I haven’t tried using glaze yet, but your videos are so inspiring, I think I’m going to!)
Hi Shannon, just add more glaze, you can also use glaze extender which will help the glaze not from drying out so fast. I have a new video out today, I hope you like it! ❤️🎨🙏
Where can I purchase the sponge. Can’t wait to try this. I love your work.
Lisa Avery ... thank you so much Lisa for your kind comment 🙏💙
You can find the meshing tool I was using in the description box just below the the tutorial... there is a black arrow pointing down just click that and it shows you all the products used and when you click the product it directs you automatically to amazon. Hope this helps 😉💙💙
I love the colors you chose for this...gonna steal it for my next project. That sponge brush brings in such a smooth sweet blend. Nice invention Christina. I'm working on a wicker side table...never chalked wicker before, still going for it, I'm sure I'll have to use a brush for blending tho, but it'll be fun seeing how that goes. Have you worked on wicker? Love to hear your advice.
(there is 1 dislike on this vid...proof that there really are As**oles for hire on YT!)
kim jensen
LOL you made my day!!! There is always one thumbs down when I post. It’s nice that when I see there are so many awesome positive comments and thumbs up from you all that counters the negative, It’s so greatly appreciated and I want to thank each one of you!!!Thanks!!!! 💕🙏🎨
kim jensen
Hi Kim! Glad you liked it!!! Too funny you read my mind!!! I just picked up a wicker piece of furniture this past weekend!!!! I have not done one yet and I am planning to paint it this weekend. That video should available in two weeks time I am currently working on another piece this week which that video will be out next week. 🙏🎨
@@TheReclaimedHeirloom Oh wow! Right on! I have only spray painted wicker, which makes total sense with all its grooves...I am looking forward to seeing how you chalk yours!!!
kim jensen indeed!
Hola Cristina, se puede dar ese efecto de difuminado y mezclar los colores perfectamente sin usar el glaze? . Espero tu respuesta Cristina ya que estoy por pintar un mueble . Gracias , saludos y bendiciones 😘✌🏻🙏🏻✌🏻🇲🇽
Hi Christina, it seems to me that maybe one can by pass the base different coats of placing the paints where you want them to go before doing the clear glaze. How would painting the entire piece in the mixed color of Aubusson Blue and Olive, letting it dry, then adding the clear glaze with the coordinating colors on top for the meshing? Would it work this way?
Maria Alvarez ... absolutely!! There is no way of doing base to glaze then add meshing technique, I generally like to see where I want the colours to be place before hand for my personal visual but you can definitely by pass and place the base and glaze which works for you too! Definitely place the colours down that work best your vision!
I actually think some people would find it much easier to place a full base coat first then mesh from there! That is totally fine 🎨😉🤗
Will this paint stand up to outdoor weather year round with extreme heat,humidity and cold weather?
Hello thqnk you very much for sharing this,where exactly is part 2 because I can't find it anywhere,thanks again its lovely
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🙏🎨
Love your work ❤
Where do I get a meshing Tool Please
What tool are you using for the mesh technique
Hi Christina, would it look cool to mesh then do a verdigris? Just curious... I am devouring your videos.!
Great idea! ❤️🎨🙏
THANK YOU! Can you give me link for video 2? I couldn't find it on the list.
Hi Shanwa, if you go to main channel and look at my video lists look for chalk paint meshing and you will see the videos listed there. For this one, I believe there was only one part. For my first meshing video (pink coloured piece) it was a 2 part video. I gave a lot of details on that video for meshing. ❤️🙏🎨
So could you use this technique over saltwash / texture?
Hi
As usual lovely finish. I have a question please: which is better for blending colors, blend colors when they are both dry and activate them with water, or, blend them when colors is still wet? Also, when you blend do you blend with a third clean brush, I am asking because if I use the light color brush to blend with the darker color, i can not use it to go back to my white color as an example? My question is a general one and not only about chalk paint? Is there another method for blending? I know that the question with the brush sounds stupid, sounds like a stupid person who did not see tens of videos about blending, but I really did lot of blendings but it coasted me so much paint and hours to achieve it, I thought maybe you can advice me what is the best method to blend.
I really love your work and your finishes are special compared with others to me.
Thank you in advance for your help and understanding, sorry for the long massage. Best wishes always.
Maha Zappa ... thank you so much 🙏💙 for your kind comment and feedback .
As for your questions... there is no better than another way to blend chalk paint, it is really about what works best for you!! 😉
In my TH-cam channel there are some short demos on ombré blending that might be very helpful for you to take a watch when you have a moment 👍🏻🎨
The key with any blending is water to paint ratio ... so it is important to make sure your brush is moist first ( not saturated) just moist and as you apply your paint and add any colours ... add small amounts of water 💦, if you feel the paint is not moving smoothly add more water not to much but add as you go!
The colour meshing technique is really nice because the the thickness of the tool does most of the blending but based on your comment... I would advise you to try the clear glaze ... with clear glaze added to your chalk paint you don’t need to add water which might make it easier for to get better with your blending technique! 😉🎨
Just work in small sections at a time and remember... have fun!! 😉💙💙
Hope this helps 💕
So. The mesh brush just sits on a towel or paper waiting to be used .
inbetween adding the Glaze and paint.colors..
Meaning its dry ???
Gosh i hope u get what im asking..
This is SO BEAUTIFUL
dora lee ... thank you so much for your comment and question! 🙏🎨
The paper towel or clean cloth is only for off loading paint and glaze as you work!
So you have a build up on the meshing applicator as you are working!
Just give it a wipe as you are working to remove build up of paint and glaze! Hope with helps 💙💙🤗
Hey! What tool are you using to tap?
Where did you get the meshing tool?
