I love everything Damask! And I LOVE all ball and claw foot furniture! And I LOVE pearls, corbels, old stone walls, the graceful curves of traditional Queen Anne furniture ... I think I am an old soul at heart.
I've been wanting to use damask in my stained art pieces, but haven't been able to come up with a way to incorporate it until recently. I did a small piece for a family friend who had lost their child. I used damask and added angel wings with their child's name at the bottom.

This gave me inspiration for my next piece, which by the way has BALL&CLAW feet! YAY!
I started with the base of the table. I sanded the finish off and used Velvet Finishes "Ready", which takes off the top coat. I applied a coat of Heirloom Traditions Rainy Day chalk paint - a nice grey.
Now for the top. I used Velvet Finishes' Roccoco - a nice creamy color. I think I used 3 coats. And then I was able to get started with my Damask!
Looks pretty, huh? I wasn't exact on this because I knew I was going to cover it up. WHAT?! COVER IT UP?!! Well, I had to wash it out so that the next layer would show up. My vision is to have the damask in the background - seen, but not the focal point.
For the Angel Wings, I had used a paint wash - watered down paint, brushed on and wiped off.
It was a shame to cover up that damask, but let's move on...
I could go on and on with the detailing, but at some point ya just have to PUT.THE.BRUSH.DOWN!!
LOOK AT THOSE LEGS!!! Let's take a closer look...
AHHHHHH, so MAJESTIC... STATUESQUE... DIGNIFIED.... STATELY ... DISTINGUISHED .... GRAND... SUMPTUOUS! OK, I digress...
This one has my heart! I love all of the elements that play together to make a gorgeous statement piece! She is ready to find her forever home!
