    I would buy that huge wood and white flower Lazy Susan from you, Yvonne!! Like for real. Is that possible?
    I wanted to tell you about the IOD transfer. Once you get it transferred onto your surface, you’re supposed to burnish it with the paper cover deal you just used. So just use the clear sheet that the transfer just came off of and rub it real good over the transfer. Does that make sense? 🤷🏻‍♀️ LOL it’s hard to put into words what I’m trying to say. 🤪
    Side note: I’m absolutely LOVING their new releases!!! 🥰😍
    Anyways, thank you for sharing your projects with us!! I’m so thankful you didn’t throw your hands up and toss the ones that didn’t work out, aside. You’re right, not everything works out.

    I think you have to paint over the salt to get the chipping?? Where the salt sits the paint won’t sit so when you pick it off the paint will chip I think is how that works. It is not a method I like to use so I have only done it once lol.

I would think the base and second paints could be changed with each project. I have not tried it but she makes it look attainable.

  • @thebespokebird
    @thebespokebird 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    For the salt technique you have to use a really heavy coat of your base paint and put the salt on it while it's very wet, when it's dry go over it (salt and all) with white or whatever top color. Let it dry for a day then go straight over it with the electric sander (don't try to brush the salt out) it's a combination of the chemical reaction AND grinding the salt into the paint that gives it that unique chippy look.

I did pumpkins in the fall, I did a full coat of black, then salt, then a green on spots, then salt, then I did my top coat after that (orange, white or green). I mixed up the under colors depending on what color of pumpkin I made. Always put the salt on while the paint is wet and then sand away.
