JULY IS DIXIE BELLE PAINTS MONTH

We are so very pleased to be working with Dixie Belle paint products. I have been playing with many of the products and have to say...WOW.

These are before photos of the end table and the coffee table I will redo with Dixie Belle paints this week. I had used a white glaze several years ago but Dixie Belle will knock that out of the ballpark! Sanding is not necessary but we did a light sanding due to grime or grit from the everyday use and to remove some of the whitewash.

Below is an image from Better Homes and Gardens showcasing the very colors in our family room. I like clean bright colors and that is the result you can get with Dixie Belle.

Seaglass, Rebel Yellow and Palmetto work so well together.

The pine pieces I am redoing have served us well, brand new in 1991 and still going strong, along with an armoire also still in use. I love classic pieces that take on new life. We also have my parents furniture from 1948 also in super condition, Real wood never goes out of style!

I mixed Palmetto and Clear coat to get a translucent first coat for the tops of the tables. The base will be Rebel Yellow. I may add some whitewash or grunge glazes after distressing the pieces..... That is the fun to see what works with this HIGH quality, Made in the USA, water soluble, low VOC paints.

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
