First of all, let me ask you when you get into something, I mean REALLY into something, don't you continue doing it? Lets start with your hair, you find a style and you wear it like that for weeks, or the comfort of those favorite pair of jeans. Yea...that's what I thought.
Well for me the same goes with my painting projects. When I get into a certain look, I keep doing it, especially when that look is flying off the shelves. Well, most recently I'm in to metallic glaze. Here is what I love about it. It not only distresses, but it gives your paint a shimmer. That's right girls...we all love glitter and shimmer, it's part of the glam effect. Next, it is easy to apply: Just rub it on in a circle, straight, randomly, whatever you want to get the look that you want. Third, it allows you to go bold because it tones down your color and yet gives it a wow factor.
I also love how metallic glaze brings out the details, like if you have an ornate part in your furniture you can really highlight it.
I personally have been using Martha Stewart Metallic Bronze lately, but I'm going to start trying other colors.
I've got another project coming up at Furniture Friday where I used metallic glaze, and if you haven't heard, I started hosting a link party on Friday's so don't forget to come back and link up.
