The Fantasy Chair - in some of it's glory
I have been trying to get a decent photo of this chair for days - but it's not gonna happen! The flash is washing out the photos. I need to take the photos outside in natural light but it's freakin' 40 degrees below zero and there's no way I'm going outside! Besides which the chair would probably freeze and break. I know my hair would if it was wet - but that's a story for another day. So without further ado ... here's the sucky pictures ... click to enlarge
Technical details:
Paint: DecoArt Metallic Pearl Moss (green undertones) then a Sienna Brown Wash, then touched here and there with Copper Pearlescent, Copper Iridescent, and Venician Gold Metallic. Beads are a mix of Verdigris, Copper, Black, and Clear. Water is clear epoxy and green 3D Crystal Lacquer. There is also a layer of varnish mixed with Art Institute Glitter but you can't see it in the photos. It's subtle. I love this chair!
Oh. My. Words fail me! I love, love, love what you've done. I keep looking at the pictures and see something new each time. I really wish I could see this for real!!!!

Oh My I love it, Your photos are that bad. It's a handsome chair that any fairy is going to feel like a queen in.
Posted by: Sandra Walker at December 20, 2007 5:00 PMJudi, your chair is gorgeous..I don't see how it could look much better..truly it takes a few minutes to see all the detail work..you must be mighty proud of yourself!
Wow Judi! It turned out to be absolutely truly beautiful!!! It reminds me a little of that fantasy movie (the Dark Crystal) for some reason. I certainly can imagine one of the Royal See sitting in it. Excellent job! :-)
Cheers,
Tami
