How do you add the top on a 25 foot Raised Plaster Tree?
VERY CAREFULLY!!!!
When I came home from shopping, this is the scene I found! My husband adding the top to my 25′ Raised Plaster Aspen Tree. I screamed with fear, but he simply grinned and continued to work.
It spanned two whole floors and looked incredible!
Exciting Furniture Makeovers with Stencils
Amber LeClair has a way with making a tired old piece of furniture take on a whole new life.
First painting the piece and cleaning up the hardware, she then added our Raised Plaster Fransaise Stencil combined with our Raised Plaster Oxford Panel Stencil to give the piece dramatic design.
Portions of designs can be used (as she did here) when a full design won’t fit a particular area.

Using Plaster Stencils for Art Projects Just Got Wildly Beautiful!
I was so pleased when Laureen Copeland sent me photos of the peacock art piece she had completed for a friend. On MDF board, she painted a soft, gray backdrop for the peacock.
Then, using our Raised Plaster Peacock Stencil, she plastered the design then used glass beads to add the color. Wow! Is that amazing or what????? Talk about texture and color!
Take a close up look:
There are so many ways you can use our plaster stencils to create art and Laureen did a bang up job! She’s now working on her second piece and I can’t wait to see it!
Thank you so much for sharing Laureen!
A Single Stencil Design can Create a Fantastic Focal Wall
Using a simple stencil design such as these fern leaves can create a stunning focal wallpaper design.
Simply place the stencil randomly over the wall, as close or far apart as you wish.
Here we used our Raised Plaster Fern Leaves Stencil with green glass bead medium to create raised fern leaves.
This is also a great treatment for large furniture pieces or simply place the leaves in recessed panels on the piece.
Nicole Sells More Furniture When She Adds Plaster Stenciling
Nicole Kulis sells re-purposed furniture. But when she started adding our Raised Plaster Stencils, she wrote me and said that her furniture pieces now sell so quickly! And it’s no wonder why. Suddenly, these plain furniture pieces turn in to ornamental beauties with designs that appear hand carved on the surface.
Using the same Raised Plaster Brassio Stencil design, she created all of these lovely pieces to sell.

A plain occasional table that now has beautiful detail!
Now who wouldn’t want one of these adorable pieces of furniture as an ornamental focal point in a room?
When creating raised designs on furniture, there are a number of products you can use to create a more durable design. Consider WoodIcing, tile grout, or Durhams water putty (found at your local hardware store). Joint compound can also be used. Just be sure to paint over the design to protect it from chipping in the future.
See her fabulous side board make over here.

New Facebook Group for Artists Gives to Charities
I’m so proud to call Julie McDowell of Dandelions and Poppies to come up with the brilliant idea of putting artists and charities together!
Here’s what she says about her new group “Paint it Forward”:
Paint it Forward is a collective of artists who wish to give back to their local communities. Inspiring members of this group to select a matter or matters that they care deeply about in their locale, whether it be supporting a struggling neighbor or the homeless shelter down the road. They then use this platform to promote their cause and their work which can be sold for partial or full profit, whatever you can manage! A small act of kindness.
This is about raising awareness, making art matter even more, and paying it forward: one drop at a time
I highly encourage everyone to join this wonderful group! I did!

Plaster Stenciling on a 6 Panel Door Creates Unbelievable Elegance!
All of the doors in my home are standard 6 panel doors.
Well, you know me, I like something more, something unusual, something exciting!
So I created a series of panel stencils that are perfectly sized for these types of doors.
I used our Raised Plaster Chaumont Panel Stencil to create the design on each panel.
See how perfectly it fits in each panel?
I simply used joint compound then painted the entire door with door and trim paint that matched the color of my walls.
