This was a very unusual table! The clients arrived with both the table and a real dog, asking me to transform their table to look like their Visla breed dog. In addition to changing the solid black sculpted base into the golden brown hues of their dog, I also painted the top and the base to look like rich, black marble. Of course the undersides are also painted like marble to support the illusion that it is real stone! (I’ve included a photo of what the table arrived looking like).
This Hogwart’s treasure chest was painted to hold handmade crocheted Harry Potter figurines. It was a lovely combined effort between myself and another artist! I painted faux finishes all around with “leather” straps and brass rivets, edgings and protective corners. I tried to make the inside look like old trunks used to! It is about 12 “X 7″X4 “.
I just love painting rocks! This 12″ X 8″ X 3″ box has faux painted marble sides and bottom. Sorry but this gem was sold as soon as I put it in a show. I’d love to paint another if you want one!
| This striking side table began life as a solid wood vintage Early American style nightstand. I painted it a deep navy blue and created faux marble surfaces in shades of grey on both the top and lower shelves. This is a trompe l’oeil piece of art work, where everything looks real enough to pick up! On the upper surface I depicted items collected on a visit to Japan; There is a sophisticate navy colored fan, and a pair of chopsticks encased in a fabric sheath, secured by a braided knot. I added three glass marbles through which you can see light shinning. I folded a crane and a swallow from paper purchased in Tokyo to use as models to paint the two Origami birds on the lower shelf. This unique table is currently for sale for $450 plus shipping. The top is 14″ X 16″ and it stands 27″ tall.Please contact me through this site if you are interested in this table or perhaps a custom painted item. |
