Experimenting!

This weekend I've been making more of the grain sack pillows using the CitraSolv method of transferring images.   You can find all the details about that here.  So fun!  While I was waiting for some pillow fabric to finish in the dryer I had an idea. 

I found this cute little table at Goodwill last week.  It was calling my name!  So I took it home and couldn't wait to do something fun with it.

For some reason the previous owner had painted the edges with gold spray paint??  I gave it a coat of primer and then finished it with Heirloom White.  And so it sat until today when my CitraSolv fumed brain thought I might try transferring an image to wood.   My main concern was would the solvent eat through the paint?  It is strong stuff!  But I figured I can always repaint it, right?

So I took my image (from the Graphics Fairy) and taped it down like so, then dabbed on the CitraSolv.

My first attempt at burnishing made a mess, it just smeared all over.  So wiped it off and reapplied with a lighter application and pressed the image gently, instead of rubbing like you do on fabric.

The result is a bit distressed looking, but that was my goal~ so it just saved me some sanding!!  I am in love with the finished project!!!

I wish I had a halfway decent camera so you could see how good it really looks!!  I'll keep you posted on how the painted surface likes CitraSolv.

Thanks for stopping in.  I would so love to hear your comments and hope you'll consider becoming a follower!  Linking up to the parties below.  Have a great week!
