I really enjoy it and still have a lot to learn. Here are a few of my first projects. Feel free to critique them if you want. Thanks Here is the inside.

cjartist Report post Posted December 26, 2016 Welcome to the forum. Looks like you are off to a GREAT start. I think a second coat of dye would have helped to smooth out the blotching a bit. Keep in mind that you can always thin your dye, but usually more than one coat is required. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wanted to do a second coat but everyone that saw it just loved the"worn/antique" look. Haha, little did they know it was just poor dye application.
