- What is the great l old-timeAntique RoadShow All About ? By:-R White
If you possess a love and preoccupation with antiques, crafts or collectibles, and you allocate your time gathering these old-time items from rummage sales, antique shops or your own attic, then you will love antique roadshows.
This show started out in the United Kingdom in 1979, and was an association of appraisers that specialized in different areas of antiques and collectibles. The appraisers would travel to different locations and invite ordinary people to come to the show with any items they said could be of monetary worth. A handful of people would be chosen to come on the show with their items, and the professional would tell them how much they were worth, or if the items were worthless.
- How Much Crackle Finish Is Necessary? By:-Leonard Dolly
Isn't it amazing how people like to take things that are new and make them look old? In this case, simple steps can turn new things old.
Body:
=============================
Before, no one wanted to have old things but times have changed since then. If you are into vintage objects, there is a trick to it. It is important that you buy some crackle paint for this. There have been a number of people who have utilized this painting technique.
I guarantee you that you will be satisfied with the results.
This is how you can make a new wall look pretty worn out. It is important to buy some drop cloths, latex satin wall paint, paint brush for latex paint, roller and roller cover, crackle medium, and masking tape in this case.
In this case, start with a base coat of latex paint and let the wall dry thoroughly. When you are working with crackle paint, a satin finish can make all the difference allowing another shade of paint to become visible. Sometimes, craft stores and hardware stores offer crackle finish.
The number of coats of crackle finish depends on how big the project is. For furniture work, do consider a sectional application of crackle finish. Begin by masking off any part of the project that you do not wish to crackle with masking tape. Using a brush or roller, depending on the size of your project, apply the crackle.
To achieve a great finish on the walls, before applying the paint, cut in the edges first. To achieve a great look, let the paint dry for an hour or so. Roll on the top coat of paint without hesitation when the crackle dries. If the finish dries too much, a second application will be needed. The top coat of latex satin paint can be applied over the crackle finish two ways.
Finer cracks can be accomplished with the use of a natural sea sponge and a paint brush will provide you with much larger cracks when the paint dries. A large surface is better treated when a brush is made use of. Prepare to sweat it out if you are planning to apply crackle finish.
Start in one corner of the room and begin applying the top coat with the brush. One coat of paint is all you need to apply to the crackle finished wall and this is so that none of the cracks are erased by the brush.
Our strokes were as long as ever and we ended up applying the crackle in sections, from the ceiling to the floor. It was much easier to paint the walls one side at a time. This project was a learning experience for us. What you should never disregard is the manufacturer's recommendations.
