How to create an old world look using the ragging technique with chalk paint

[@First_Rain]

Wow Leen, this is a MASTERPIECE! 😍 It was fun watching all the time and effort you put in. The gold leaf flowers 🌸 are so clever and beautiful. Thanks so much for joining the challenge, my friend. It’s going to be difficult for me to select a winner! ✨

[@New_Renaissance]

Thank you so much!! I loves your hand painted piece in the last challenge too. What a great job you did there. Really amazing!!

[@First_Rain]

@@New_Renaissance 🥰thank you for checking out the previous challenge! I’m so glad more people joined this time and it will continue to get bigger 💖

[@mistygeller3193]

Absolutely stunning, it’s so beautiful!! Wow!! What an incredible piece of furniture you have created!! I so hope that you are very proud of everything that you did 😊💕 It is honestly just such a special piece of art!

[@New_Renaissance]

Thank you so much for your kind words! That's so sweet of you!! 🙏🥰

[@KangaCollins]

Hello Leen. I’m new to your channel. So glad I found you, you surely inspire a budding furniture artist 🥰 What a stunning piece you have created. It warms my heart to see a beautiful furniture piece come back to life. Sending love from Australia 🦘❤️🦘

[@New_Renaissance]

Thanks for subbing! And thank you for these kind words. It really means so much to me to get all this nice feedback. It makes it all worthwhile even more... Thank you!

[@libertygiveme1987]

Just INCREDIBLE!!!! You make it look so EASY, but in reality, it takes quite a bit of time to "MASTER" this technique, I would think. Personally, I think I would have used Silver Flakes instead of the Gold.

[@New_Renaissance]

Thank you so much! ❤️ The nice thing about chalk paint is, that it doesn't matter when you make a mistake. You can always paint over it. And this technique actually is really forgiving. So, you can hardly make any mistake at all. 😉 I don't know why I always choose gold over silver. But silver definitely is nice combined with blue too! 💙

[@hollysdesign]

This is absolutely stunning. So much time and skill to create such a masterpiece!! I loved watching the video, your idea with the gold leaf through the stencil is fantastic!! Have subscribed!

[@New_Renaissance]

Thank you!! I was debating with my husband to put gold leaf on, or not. He said not to do it. I'm glad I didn't listen. And now he agrees to, it looks much better this way... :D

[@sarah30uk]

Absolutely stunning!! A true work of art. Well done 😊

[@New_Renaissance]

Thank you so much, Sarah! I truly appreciate it! 🥰

[@luv2cre84]

This is beyond stunning!!!! 😍What a job, but *SO* well worth it!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@New_Renaissance]

Thank you soooo much! I spent a lot of time on her, but it was so much fun. And I learned so much during the process too. 😊

[@thekraftycreech]

hello Leen!!! im sooo happy you have joined this challenge!!! wow that is a massive piece!!! ohhhh that is such a daunting task sometimes removing the veneer, ughhh especially in the hard to reach areas like those curves on the front! i can see why you are exhausted!thank goodness for our hubbies.. i need mine to help me often.. especially with moving things or making cuts with the big saw! i think it was definately a wise choice to work on it in pieces , it is gigantic! All of these beatiful details on this piece are so wonderful. I have to say Leen your voice is so beautiful and soothing, i am really enjoying listening to you narrate. I have never done the ragging technique! i am so blown away by how beautiful it looks. and you make it look effortless great advice on stepping back to check your work to see if you are pleased with it! The details really pop with the ragging technique on the ornate piece on the top! i love how you explained the gold leafing... i have always taken the sheet off of the tissue paper but this way (leaving it on the tissue paper) makes much more sense to me! the gold...wow... ohh my goodness wow! And the floral surprise when the drawers open is just the cherry on top! Your armoir is a SHOW STOPPER and i agree its so worth it!...Jaw dropping gorgeous! thank you sooooo much Leen for joining this challenge

[@New_Renaissance]

Oh my God, Krystal... Those words of yours mean so much to me. ❤️ You got me all teared up right here. 🥺 It's true what you say: "thank goodness for our hubbies." This one definitely was team work, as it comes to the repairs. I'm so happy I could join this challenge and am looking forward to see all the stunning flips of all the other participants. Thank you again, Krystal. You've just made my week! ❤️

[@thekraftycreech]

Gorgeous!!!

[@New_Renaissance]

Thank you so much, Diane! 🥰

[@vsemprivet]

thank you for this informative video! great job. I understand that this glazing technique works well with the types of furniture that have frames, curves, engravings etc. where the glaze stays after wiping, but what if I need to glase a simple painted stool that doesn't have those? Its very basic stool, just legs and the top, and I wonder what stays and where when I cover it with the glaze and wipe afterwards. I painted it in nice yellow, but wanted to add some used antique look with dark edges and some dark patina around the joints. But the issue is that using your technique the glaze at the edges, where I do want it to stay, will most probaly get wiped off. What do you think I shall do to make it look like a want? And would the whole thing work if I use watered down dark acrylic paint over the main layer of paint, also acrylic? thank you!

[@nadinehupperetz8073]

Magnifique….Félicitations de Montréal!

[@Risingphoenixx66]

Hoi Leen, inspirerende video, fantastische kleurencombinatie. ik keek gisteren een video van Kacha (op you tube, zij restyled doorgaans in deze look , zij gebruikte tacky glue spray over naar stencil waarna de gold leaf werd aangebracht. Had ik nog niet eerder van gehoord, maar met de gilding size kan het dus ook, zo leer je steeds weer bij. Hier in Nederland is men niet zo happig op goud merk ik, ik vind het mooi als het maar met black wax achteraf wordt afgezwakt. Ik gebruikt altijd de goudwax , maar Dixiebelle heeft een mousse die je fijn met een penseel kunt aanbrengen. Ikzelf ben helemaal gek van Amy Howard uit America, als je haar oude video,s bekijkt van een jaren geleden ga je smullen, een expert in old world finishes Helaas zijn de producten die ik zo graag wil hebben niet te betalen ivm shipping😔maar misschien ooit nog eens. Voor nu een groet en ik kijk uit naar de video van die zwarte kast waarvan je een short maakte. Groet Lucienne🖐

[@New_Renaissance]

Hi Lucienne! Bedankt voor je berichtje. ❤️ Kacha is inderdaad mijn muze. 😉 Zij maakt echt prachtige dingen! Amy Howard moet ik even opzoeken. Super bedankt voor de tip. Altijd fijn om nieuwe of andere furniture artists te leren kennen. Een mens kan niet genoeg inspiratie krijgen, toch? 😉 Op mijn online en offline winkeltje www.degoeikamer.be verkoop ik ook de pigments van woodubend. Da's ook een super leuk product om je projecten met goud of metallic effecten af te werken. Hoewel ik ook graag met goud werk, kan ik alleen maar beamen dat het hier precies wat minder populair is dan in Amerika. Maar iedereen die het aandurft, blijft er nadien toch graag mee werken. Het is zo'n dankbaar product! Net als transfers. Nog zoiets leuks! 😍😍

[@AABB-xx8sj]

If laquer is not available, can we use clear matt varnish instead as paint protection ?? Will varnish darken the paint color also as wax does ???

[@New_Renaissance]

Yes, you can use matt varnish and it will darken the colour a little bit. 😊 Good luck with your project!

[@AABB-xx8sj]

Thanks a lot

[@lyndalaurent8427]

Wet towel leave overnight- it’s easier
