"Dirty Donna!"

Meet my newest "Dirty Girl" Donna....

I had this poor thing collecting dust in my entry way for about a year now..

Not because I didnt WANT to paint her...She just hadn't told me the color yet! My knee jerk is TURQUOISE but hell, If I keep painting EVERYTHING turquoise..they're gonna have to call me "Turoquoise LOCO"'N-T, Who..I decided to go with white..

And I liked her with this "Moderate"distressing, but.....

 Once I got that sander in my hot little hand I couldn't STOP, something took over me! That distressing felt so RIGHT! Now! It wouldn't be a Shabby Loco Original if I didn;t have SOME turquoise in there?! Duh...So, I dry brushed some here and there for depth and contrast ;)

 Long story short, I whacked her, smacked her and stripped her down..and I lub it! Hope you do too..

Now, How am I going to sell this one..Ugh! #Painterchickproblems

Oh mah' GAUD! (Gaudy Mirror, that is...)

Hi Lovey!
 I got this mirror from my girl Susie at VnB estate service and she gave me a GREAT deal! Of course, I immediately saw the potential in this old girl...

Whaaa... You don't see the potential here?? You will...... = )

Mmkay, you guys the routine by now, right? A.S.C.P Baby! I whipped out my chalk paint and let her rip, tater chip!

Old White

To paint as close to the frame as possible shove a piece of paper under the frame to get as close to the inside edges as possible when painting. Next time I think I will buy a couple of pieces of scrapbook card stock! 
(A little sturdier piece of paper would have been nice) 

All taped off now, and first coat is applied.

2nd coat is on BUT I need to do all the recessed areas and little carved areas..

This stencil brush from  Michael's worked well in the more recessed and hard to get to areas.

Paintings done..Get to Distressing!

Nice and scruffy..

Be sure to blow off all existing dust, then Apply your base coat of clear wax.

Then make your mash up! (Equal parts of clear and dark mixed together)

Cover everywhere you want an antiqued and aged look.

Get a glob of clear wax, and start removing the wax where you don't want it 
OR where you don't want it as heavy..

Look how easy this wipes off!

All Done..

VIOLA!

Thanks for stoppin' by..
Muah!
