SK's Tissue Paper Walls.
This is very fun and messy project. I had glue from head to toe. But loved the results.I have used tissue paper on a bath wall with wonderful and unexpected results.I used glaze instead of mod podge. I painted the wall a dark green, let it dry. I then rolled on a small portion of wall with heavy glaze. I then started to "mush" white tissue paper into the wet glaze, making it wrinkly.
I used copper plumbing pipe to make an interesting statement under the sink. I just carefully curled the copper pipe before attaching to the sink and wall plumbing.
When the entire room was dry I sponge painted "wet-on-wet" with four different greens. When this coat was dry I added a copper stencil of an oak leaf. When this was dry, I sealed it with a satin coat of poly.
One thing you might note, how committed are you to this texture? You can always repaint, but the texture would take a huge effort to get off.
The cabinet was built from old, old wood. I put leftover copper backsplash on the back so it shows through the slates. I cut a hole in the top and dropped an old found sink into her. I kiddy-cornered the whole cabinet so the bath door would open.
If I am searching to find an old pin or projects on Hometalk, it can usually be found by searching key words or the artists name. I try to jot a computer note to myself. But when you make a comment on Hometalk it will show up in your personal activity. I think...sk on elderberry

Hey SK (or maybe someone else), this is a technical app question. If I hadn't saved the email informing me about the response to my comment I wouldn't have been able to get to THIS page with all the "how to" details. Initially I'd searched for it, possibly on Pinterest. I believe I found someone's "pin", but could no way find my way back to this post to refer to the steps to do this project. If you (a-hem) I, lol, fail to pin something of interest how do you find your way back if you don't know the bloggers name or what the project was entitled? I wasn't even completely certain it was a Hometalk blog post. Anyone have some tips for this amateur navigator?! Thanks anyone! 😬
