The music is fine. Disregard the haters. I'm not sure why people think their own criticism is their gift to this world. I was taught, "If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all." I never comment on tons of videos that have taught me a lot however, I'm getting older and I guess I'm getting a little tired of mean people who complain. They should go make their own videos instead of complaining about those who are actually teaching, sharing and giving their time. Your teaching and skills teach me how to do things that I can do IF I only knew how to do it. Now I do know thanks to you taking your own time to teach us. Thanks for your time to do this! I appreciate you! PS, Turn the music up! See, I told you I was old. 🙂

Love this technique! It's the most authentic, aged paint finish that shows paint layers. It's interesting that you alternate the chalk & salt wash paints. I've used Elmer's Glue (the regular school glue) thinned slightly with water & brushed on prior to the top coat to create authentic cracks - very inexpensive. The top coat also needs to be thinned down & brushed with a loaded brush (brushing back & forth removes crackle). Thank you for sharing your tips!

Great technique and instructional! We almost expected to hear the sign was flipped for 50,000 USD. :) The chamfering of the corners on new sawn cuts on new stock and on older commercial furniture pieces when repainting is done adds a little insurance that the paint or coating (s) will adhere. We did a similar finish years ago using gesso and polenta and a bunch of hand sanding.. Great job!

Do you any tricks up your sleeve for putting something on the top first before I use paint? I have stain, would that help?I forgot about this one but I did make your sand & plaster of paris.

Hi! I’m trying this process on uneven barn boards with slats. It’s quite uneven. How do you lay the graphic after it’s sanded to accommodate for the slight levels? Do you cut the graphic to fit each board?

It’s very difficult to transfer is board is not smooth. Might be tricky for you

WONDERFUL! You are talented as a teacher as well as art. I am wondering if humidity would break down the paint? In humid Florida twice I tried using a salt lamp and there was a pool of water on the table because the salt absorbed moisture from the air. Anyone have experience with this issue? I supposed it could be sealed very well but then sometimes that looks plasticky, at least on chalk paint it does.

Thanks so much! 🌸I appreciate it. We don’t have humidity problems here in Ontario 🇨🇦😜

Hi Barbara, I'm in NC and when it's humid and I don't have my A/C on, my salt lamp sweats too. I first I thought there was a defect in it but then I looked it up and it is normal. I haven't yet tried any salt wash finishes but I hope to soon.

@@justdi3347 The salt lamp is very messy and for that reason I stopped using it. But I love the atmosphere/ mood it creates and supposedly it is healthy. I have so many projects going at the same time that I totally forgot about this one. I will put it on my list. Thanx for your comment.
