Faux finishing tortoise shell video

Here is a new video for a soon to be released Faux Tortoise Shell instructional DVD.

I have been getting a great response from my“Plaster for Niches”  and our instructional DVD

That I wanted to do a post on the updates of my modern faux tortoise shell design. Even though I may get slapped by Google for same content posting. I will just post some quick pictures to show what the designer and client that I have been working with have come up for another niche we been working on,  and yes I did record this finish and will be making it available in a DVD format. I may even make a contest out of this one too. as a matter of fact I think I will lol

This turned out to be a pretty awesome finish even though the pictures don’t really do it justice.

I had to create over 140 of these “Hexagon Design Tortoise Shell” pieces and I did it off site only to return to install them which saved a huge amount of time. I put it all on video and will be launching this by the end of August along with my

“Plaster for Niches” DVD

In the video and the instructional I teach the finish as an over all look because of the layout design which was done in a hexagon pattern. We didn’t want the appearance to look busy and if the finish was done as an actual looking tortoise shell then the contrasting colors would have made it appear that way

As you can see the concept worked out rather well and with a final over glaze it will pull everything together and with the wood graining around the recessed part, the end result looks great!

I will be  announcing another contest to get a “Free” copy of the this How To Faux  DVD  as well but you will have to sign up for my newsletter so as not to miss the chance below

In the meantime my Plaster for Niches contest is underway until August 31st and you may go here to join in the fun while waiting for the announcement
