Mon peu défraîchi français tabouret
I went to the shop to deliver some goods and there sitting out in the sun all by itself was this stool and the selling price was only 2.00, even I can afford that! Wow what a deal. So I took it home and glued it back together and set to work on a design. I decided to undercoat it in a flat black so I could take more time to deliberate and come up with a plan. After the paint dried I knew that I wanted to paint it a shabby white and use a post mark design, I really like the Parisian influence on art world! I had seen a project online (wish I could remember another thing I need to work on along with the before and after pictures!) and came up with a design that fit perfectly on the top of the stool. I used a brush to sponge on the 2 circles and then stenciled the words and date. After everything was dried I painted on a black-brown glaze and then sealed the stool with a poly-coat. I love how it came out and sure hope to do more with the post mark design so keep watch I promise not to disappoint!
