ARTICLES DE PARIS french dressing chest

 
ONE MONTH TO WIN IT
craft competition started last week so
I stopped in to see all the project for the week and to cast my vote.
There are 12 compeditors and each week there is a required subject to work with.
The first week brought many projects using graphics from the well known site
THE GRAPHICS FAIRY
It just so happened there was a great lingerie chest revamp that definetly stuck out in the competition.
I love a great furniture redo.
FREDDY AND PETUNIA
Mean while I had a dresser stuck in the corner of my work room needing a little something special.
Heres what I did and the image I used.
 
After altering the printout into 9 reverse sheets from the computer, trimming it, taping it together and positioning it on the drawers it took an hour and a half to burnish the transfer onto the surface.
 
My hands and arms do get sore because I don’t stop once I start because
I dont want to risk the image shifting.
 
Michaels has tons of Sharpie Markers for all sorts of projects.
Who could ask for more than paint in a pen. I bought 2 brown
paint pens for this dresser.
I talked about using Sharpies when I first did my TRAVEL CHEST
Once finished I sanded all the drawer faces for an aged look.
Then they get waxed and buffed.
 
 
Different graphic transfer methods can be found here?
