Drift Wood ~Grays Browns

Creative Coloring ~

 Since I have been living in a color explosion 
My new venture is " Natural"  


To go with the Theme of Ocean ~ 


Driftwood created by Nature, Created by techniques

 
 1. Ebonizing Wood
I blogged earlier today on the woman who showed each step
how she created her own stain, using Vinegar, Tea, Steel Wool
and a scrub of lime.  Her link again:

2. That is my once " Merlot Red" stained cabinet
I used Caromal Colours Textured Basecoat
Colors I mixed,  White which is Wisteria, Chocolate Brown, and I believe added to
is a tad of Colonial Blue. All is mixing and layering, light sanding and layering again.
This is a practice cupboard, the middle yes is Blue Painters tape - run over.

For more information, Caromal Colours and great tips on painting just about anything,
