What I used to do when I still had a wheelchair ramp made out of treated pine was I used SAND (like regular sand) in my exterior paint: it created a bumpy texture, but it also added traction. I live in a place where winter can be harsh sometimes and using sand-laden paint cuts down on both any risk of slippage and any risk of black ice.

The woman who inspired me to start my furniture artistry! Loved you from the start!

[@cassandrasmith5517]

Now this was so very creative! I knew I took home economics for reasons other than cooking!😜 Awesome layers and crusty goodness! This is truly what creating is all about. Finding alternative ways to get to the look you want! Awesome job❤️❤️❤️

[@newdreamsin2012]

You are a mad scientist in the best way! Absolutely love all the layers and texture you created on this beautiful piece! You are such an amazing teacher and artist! I love this idea and using simple ingredients we all have. You are just soooo inspiring to watch and learn from. Thank you for sharing my beautiful friend. ❤️

Thank you so much for thinking outside the box, this is awesome! The colors are absolutely beautiful, it's exactly what I needed. I'm always playing it safe with boring colors, but you just transformed my life 🙂.

[@kristy137]

This was fun to watch and you did such a great job just "trusting the process"...I also wanted to say thanks for showing this in "real time" not alot of KZbin artists do that and it just really helps us out to be able to learn and recreate. 😊 this is, I believe video №3 I've watched of yours and you have definitely gotten a new Sub!❤🎉👍

I had to watch this one twice to start sinking in, and will probably watch a few more times! I can totally see this technique using darker colors for a galaxy look, which my oldest granddaughter loves right now! And I bet the grands would love help doing this as well. Funny how you said, it's not like we are going to use vinegar on this! Then all of a sudden, there you are, totally using vinegar! Very mad scientist! Bwahahaha! Love it and love you too Crys'Dawna. Someone should put you on the cover of a magazine to highlight your colorful creativity. Wait, they already did that! 😘

Okay lady, get out of my head 😆 I'm using a SUPER textured finish in my next piece and getting it with baking soda! I've used that a bunch of times but never any of these others. LOVE how this turned out! You've inspired me to pull my old cocoa powder out of the cabinet and get rusty 😍

I love this piece! You are so creative. I want to try this but I’m scared! I don’t think I could mess it up! Lol

[@burghbrat3319]

Crys'Dawna, I think it's safe to say you don't just dream in color, you also dream OF color! (I do, too.) Never thought to use cinnamon or cocoa powder to create a rust effect, but I'll try it! Commercial texture products are ridiculously expensive. Great to see that common household supplies can work, too. Thanks!

[@cindanighswonger6282]

That’s pretty cool! I’m assuming you did more on the sides without a video. I’d have to watch a couple more times before recreating. Sweet!

[@debsmith2269]

This is extraordinary and I love it. I've used cornflour which works well. It's a similar texture to the Pureco powder.

[@piglettowood5476]

Honestly wasn’t sure where you were going with this….so I thought I’d trust the process..I love the whole concept but the handles weren’t my cup of tea but it does suit the piece as whole ❤❤❤

[@lisastevens2607]

Could you use cornstarch in place of the powder. I use it my homemade Gesso. This piece is Fantastic! ❤

[@krickette5569]

Weird science! Totally cool though!

[@yolandagofigure]

Awesome can you use this mixture on stencils?

[@FIZZGIG-RARF]

So, I am making a super textured piece for the first time. I used salt and sand in some stucco medium that I sanded down to create a faux stone finish. My question is, how do you properly clean a heavily textured piece? It's going in my bathroom so my plan is to coat it with polyurethane, then wax it. I've done that on a few pieces and it works really well, but not on a piece with so much texture. Any tips... anyone? Thanks so much in advance! 😃🤗

[@flaminbird1]

I had an odd thing happen last year when I used the kosher salt and that was my paint didn’t dry. It sat damp the next day and the salt actually dissolved . I had no texture. Not sure why that happened . And off subject I’ve noticed that your camera looks like may have a decentering issue . It’s sometimes hard to see clear your work. It’s out of focus usually on the side . It seems to be more so in the wide shots and may be also that the F-stop you have it on? Is it set at wide open? I had a wide angle that had the de-centering issue .

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you!! So I noticed my camera is having a hard time focusing and it was driving me mad!! I will have to look and see if I can recenter it!! If I am being honest my camera has fallen more times than I want to admit also 🤭 as far as the salt dissolving I have t had that happen, what brand of paint did you use? I wonder if that makes a difference?

[@flaminbird1]

@@BellaRenovare You're welcome. I think the fact it has fallen has caused the issue. It most likely dislodged or broke the focusing mechanism and or other parts :/. You'd have to get it repaired for the issue and it may be more costly than replacing it. I had used General Finishes and Dixie Bell. I'm wondering if the addition of baking soda is a key ingredient that I did not have? Maybe it absorbs the moisture from the salt?

[@candacebornstein9421]

How do I find and purchase your line of colors with a dream apothecary for purchase? I have searched all over and if I’m lucky enough to find one of your colors they won’t allow me to order it? It says find a local stockist or some thing like that, I have no local stockist anywhere in my area I’m in Louisville Kentucky. For example on the daydream apothecary website I can find Maverik, (sp) it just won’t let me order it? That’s just one example I want to order several. I also want to tell you that I love watching you and I have for the past year. I simply want to try your paint and I’m having a really hard time obtaining it.

[@donnatrobaugh1676]

I've got another idea for you besides the salt...play sand works!! ( Must be dry!)

[@julielowerson9971]

May I ask please who is the artist and song name you play in your background when presenting your piece.

[@deanneparis8888]

Did the baking soda react to the soda mixed into the paint? Or did the paint encapsulate it and retard the process?

[@deanneparis8888]

I just tried it. The vinegar did not react at all to the soda covered in paint. I used a 1/3 mix soda to paint.

[@alexz666]

Why vinegar and not water?

[@BellaRenovare]

Because it bubbles and creates craters and a different crusty texture :)
