Alternative to fabric medium?
I'm not sure what textile medium is, but I made my own "chalk paint" with Plaster paris, to paint furniture. Just google Homemade chalk paint and I got all kinds of recipe options. Good luck! And have fun!
I finished the furniture with polyurethane, so it gae the wood a ery sooth finish. The chalk paint eliminates the need to strip or sand off the existing finish.
