Today, my plan is to play around and make some samples with my foils (I say play, because it really doesn't feel like work when I'm in the studio). I've got a couple ideas I want to work on.
First one is a sample for a job I'm bidding on. I need to create a frame to go around a 30' long mirror. My idea is to do a copper textured finish with a gold foil stencil.
Second one is for my very dear friend, Joyce. We saw this painting at the 2008 Salon.
Painting by: Lauren Childs
We decided that something like this would look awesome above her fireplace.
And finally, I want to create a sample with my clear halographic foil. I saw a picture of a finish in Gary Lord's book "It's Faux Easy with Gary Lord".
So, down to the studio I go. I'll post pictures of the completed samples.

Nice, T! I can't wait to see Joyce's fireplace when you are done! They say to find a career doing something that you love and you've done it! What many find a chore, you find it to be relaxing and a pleasure----PAINTING!!!! Keep following your heart, your dreams and you will continue to have much success! LOVE YOU! G
Thanks Gayle. I do feel very fortunate to be able to do what I love. The best part is being able to share it with other.

Oh boy- you have your dessert plate full! I can't wait to see the samples. xoxo
