I will let you know. Loved working with this stuff and it is at Walmart! Nothing hard about obtaining it. I would love to try colors.

I've seen many projects that really didn't "improve" the piece but you seem to know just what to do to bring out the beauty a piece "should" have. The shot with the various tones of gesso is delicious!

It looks a lot like the chalk paint that seems to be the rage. A little wax and I bet it would look the same for a lot less money.<br />Thanks for sharing<br />KathyKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14499202463423337207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705179360795202415.post-16690145648247149162011-06-22T20:48:28.488-05:002011-06-22T20:48:28.488-05:00Stopped by via the blog party and 2805.
