Photography Prop- Daybed

What I started with….

After a little jigsaw action….

In the house and ready to paint

 

Done painting….

After glazing and a little bit of antiquing……..

 

I really do love the Caromal Colors paint that I’ve been using. It’s like painting with peanut butter and leaves a fantastic texture. If you want to thin it out for a smoother finish you can add a little bit of water. I painted the photography box and this daybed with the chocolate paint and still have almost half a jar left. Then I used the parchment color with the toner  to achieve the final color

 

I will be making a cushion for the daybed as soon as I get the fabric, Dena can’t decide what she wants to use yet. She’s going to have both of the props at a local March of Dimes fund raiser and my business cards. Hopefully I’ll get some more calls that can keep me busy.

Here is a picture of the daybed I referenced to build this.
