faux " Marble "

I was tired of seeing my last post but I haven't done anything new so I thought I would post something I did a while ago.

This is a door and frame which got painted and coated to make it look like marble for a company selling marble !

I had lost of fun doing this because I could choose to copy any of the marbles that were around me but this one had elegance to it, in my opinion. So I decided to do this for my door.

The name that we partially see is their company but they moved sadly.

"GROTTESCA"

                                   Panels I made yesterday. These are old world stencils and techniques used in Europe but have become very popular here in the States. They are applied to cabinets or walls. I did a ceiling with this one with a few other stencils added . It can give quite a striking ambiance to any room. But this one in particular "grottesca" is hand painted on top of the stencil work and glazed to give it this look.
