MORE FRENCH THAN EVER!

STOPPING BY AT THE ARTISTS REQUEST TO SEE IF SHE WAS ON THE RIGHT TRACK...................HERE IS WHAT I FOUND:

 My  request was to have three different shades of a warm gray used including the glaze,  then  use silver leaf,  followed  with a soft gold wash over  the carved flower and vine at the top of the chair. 

           



Here are some closeups of the carved details at the top

of the chair.  There will be a soft gold wash applied over
the silver leaf so both metals will be apparent, though
rubbed away to look aged.

                         IF YOU RECALL

      HERE IS WHERE WE STARTED..................

                 Two weeks from now the painted French chairs will be home...............the white linen
indoor/outdoor fabric has shipped and the upholsterer is ready as soon as Caryn has completed her final
touches..................can't wait to have them back.
