FARRAGOZ GIVEAWAY No. 3

While I continue to recoup from my show, I thought I'd give my readers another chance to win a FREE 12 month online "FARRAGOZ, The Art of Patina" painting course.



As most of you know, last year, I was asked by the good people of Farragoz to review the course. I also became an affiliate.  If you haven't read about the course, you can do so by clicking on the Farragoz banner on my right sidebar.

Although I have been experimenting with paint for decades, I have found the Farragoz recipes,and techniques, to be a fabulous addition to my arsenal.

The easy to follow instructions, and video tutorials will have you mixing your own paint, and creating beautiful pieces like this clock,



plaque,




and, trumeau.




Don't worry, a FARRAGOZ instructor will guide you every step of the way, and you can move at your own pace.  Tania, and Johan are great to work with.


Because I'm moving into my busiest time of year, I've slowed down with the course, due to time restraints, and upcoming events.  However, I can truly say that I've thoroughly enjoyed the course thus far. The clock face was probably my favorite project.




I gave the design my own spin, multiple times.







I've also enjoyed creating my own designs, using the paint recipes from the course.




So, if you would like a chance to win a 12 month online Farragoz course, just follow the instructions below.  





GOOD LUCK TO ALL

THIS GIVEAWAY IS OPEN INTERNATIONALLY




This is not a paid post.  FARRAGOZ has enrolled me in their course to give an honest review.  All opinions are my own.  My decision to become a FARRAGOZ affiliate, and sponsor this giveaway, was based on my impression of the course.

  4. I sure would like to win this giveaway! I love all your finishes. I've tried several brands of chalk paint and have not had good luck with any of them so maybe this is the course for me!

  5. I've been following your blog or if you like silently lurking(!), for some time now admiring all your creations, but decided your giveaway was too good not to comment on or participate in! Thanks so much for this wonderful opportunity to learn how to create these fabulous patinas Rosemary. I so love the olde world look they give to everyday items! ♥

  6. For some reason, it is extremely difficult to find some of the amazing "antiques" that I see on blogs and websites that others find in other parts of the country. I have tried to duplicate the patina that I see, as that is what makes them so attractive to me. So, guess that is the best answer to why I like patina--it makes things look authentic.

  17. I love repurposing things so adding a faux finish or patina adds interest to it and brings new life back to that piece.
