I was taught some techniques by an old geezer from the decorating trade but never got round to employing it you'll be glad to hear. You should see my panel of faux mahogony though, under his tuition. And tortoiseshell. Probably couldn't do it on my own now.Rose C'est La Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193872186283731567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-57069435604705826742009-10-29T11:39:47.405-04:002009-10-29T11:39:47.405-04:00LA beat me to the punch with info about Lauren at ...LA beat me to the punch with info about Lauren at (In)Decorous Taste. She's Vassar educated in cognitive science, but she now does decorative painting with her mother. She has a young eye and an old soul. Your students might enjoy this blog as well. I'm also talking up All About Colour by Janet Lindsay. The book goes round the world, back and forth in time from evolution to optics and theatre tricks of light. Your purchase for $95 a few years ago, seems like a small price for quality compared to what we are getting today. Love the idea of books as sacred objects. The really good ones really are.home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-8114872319640138572009-10-29T08:04:08.128-04:002009-10-29T08:04:08.128-04:00What a beautiful book.
