As promised here is video 1 of 2 videos on how to prep and apply metallic foil to furniture using oil based paint as a size.  This is a no brainer for you guys and the 2nd video is loading into YouTube right now and I will post it as soon as it uploads.  This will give you the basics of what I do to do a quick (30 minute) finish to a side table.  There will be 3 more videos following this when I have time to make it which will go over doing the table top, glazing and the use of single use stencils to inlay a design.

Have fun!!!

Are you pulling gold from the creek?  That is just nuts!!!  It is so funny how people think it up and are able to share in all over the world through the internet and video.  Still blows my mind that you can commericalize an idea by simply putting it on the net!

I dont know how many of you know who Taylor Swift is but she is HUGE now as a country singer and she got her original start at 14 on MySpace
