Betty Van Sant on Aug 28, 2014Oh thanks. But if you saw it up close you wouldn't say that. Hehe. Because it looks messy where the gold swags are cuz I got paint on them. And I can't get if off. So idk what to do. Just go forward with the wax step? Maybe it will look better after I do that. Thanks so much. I appreciate your comments!!Helpful Reply

Hannah V on Aug 28, 2014You could distress it where the gold details are! Should get the paint off and make it a little distressed in a good way :) Other than that I like it just the way it is! Cool piece!Helpful Reply

Janet koons on Aug 29, 2014I'm going with Marion on that idea - only dark wax where you want to enhance the shadowing. I love the AS dark wax, but oh does it make me have a headache so I wear a mask for that FYI. It's a great piece of art!Helpful Reply
