My mom's a pretty spicey gal with lot's of kick!
She LOVES LOVES LOVES fall and ALL things that sparkle.
I decided to use all metalic paints because they shimmer and shine when the light hits them just right! I chose Tequila Gold, Sashay Red, and Brick for my color palette.
As I began to paint I thought of how many color's there really are in one fallen leaf and how they blend together so naturally...
I took that as my inspiration as I brushed and blotted the red and brick paint together to create a mottled color effect along the chair back and the base of the seat. I used the tequilla gold paint with a very loose dry -brush technique on the legs and chair back, leaving a rough sort of aged look. I like how it contrasts with the more elegant details of the over all design, striking the perfect balance of
Rustic ~ Elegance
Rustic ~ Elegance
I couldn't create a special piece for my dazzling mom with out a bobble or two.. The dangling crystal beads hang ever so elegantly just at the top front of the legs...
I used a stencil design for my " impressionistic " leaf patterns. The varigated gold leaf flakes are my color here.
Ta da!!! Here she is !
