Its gorgeous Annie!!!! As are you!! You look lovely. Kacha is so right..there are so many knock off chalky style paints on the market now but you are and will forever be our "QUEEN"..ur paint is the one and only chalk paint and it stands out above all others!! I had only stumbled across your paint maybe 5yrs ago...but u and ur creation have changed the lives for so many of us in this world for the good as we are able to be creative and use paint to transform furniture and anything else into beautiful pieces ...before finding painting I had such bad depression...and now I feel like I can just paint and relieve that depression....and so I thank u so much for u sharing this with the world...and ur techniques...pls make more videos..it matters not what u paint.

[@stevenwills6931]

Really enjoyed watching this Annie. What a fabulous result

[@wfm5121954]

Annie, you are a classic and everyone here seems to agree with me on that. You look absolutely glowing. Life must be inspiring and good. I like this. Yes. I do. I live in an apartment where I cannot paint the walls. I like the style associated with chinoiserie. And using all the different colors of paint. I have some muslin fabric just ready for something like this. Thank you so much for the video and this idea. Stay safe.

[@TheHappyWhisk]

Love seeing a new video from you! Just this morning I used your Florence on a wicker basket and same thing, I dipped in a bit of water and the paint just flowed over and all about the wicker. Quite fun! Scandi Pink is one of the colours on my To-Play, List. Happy Painting. Cheers, Ivy.

[@aimeelawrence-bespokefurni575]

Your a genius Annie. I like the one you've done in this video better than the one on the wall. Because of the beautiful faded colours. It's absolutely stunning. Ps I love your shirt.

[@katharinatrub1338]

I'm happy to have 'fallen' on your channel. Love your technique, stencil pattern and colorscemes ; )

[@randakamal7149]

U r amazing love from Egypt

[@tracyfrost]

Please do more of these.

[@janetowler5377]

Beautiful! I love love your chalk paint! I wish or maybe there is a way to paint over Venetian plaster.

[@avramrubin1]

Thank you Annie. I appreciate you demonstrating the technique. I can’t speak for anyone else but I found I could not really see any of the fabric details as the camera was too far from your work table. Is it possible to mount an additional overhead camera so we can see up close? It would be very helpful. Cheers!

[@AnnieSloanHome]

We'll try improve this for you next time!

[@christownsend9550]

Agree with avramrubin, more close ups and or overhead views of the stencilling would be better to follow the process.

[@barbaraholzmann946]

This was sooo interesting to watch, I am wondering if there is a way to coat the fabric once it is done, if one wants to use it for a tray-cloth or table-cloth??? I would love to know if that is possible - could one somehow seal the paint in so that it becomes waterproof.

[@paulavanduynhoven8951]

So beautiful ❤️. I would love the stencil you used. Where can I find that?

[@RannPatterson]

I absolutely loved this project! One question I’m not clear on: Did you add water to the fabric with the paint brush or was it already damp when you laid it on the table? I love how you added the pink and olive. I tried Robin’s egg blue on my bedroom walls and it looked like a swimming pool -haha. Gently mixing colors is genius, and I do believe the texturized table did more than you know. I need to cover an old wing chair but the fabric I want is so expensive. Now I know what to do! Thank you for posting this I love fabric projects… and birds. ♥️ Alabama 🇺🇸

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Hi Rann, thanks for your message! Annie dipped the brush in water and then applied it to the fabric. The fabric was dry before that.

[@ellenfrazer7581]

[@jodibetcher5245]

If I want to use this as upholstery, should I seal it?

[@claudialaurendeau2865]

can u set the paint with a dry iron?

[@arielotus24]

What are the colours used to paint the long piece of wood standing next to the ladder behind Annie, please?

[@paulacunniffe4123]

They'd look great as cushions, too, Annie! Can your paint be used on upholstery?

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Hi Paula, yes you can! You can see more here: www.anniesloan.com/techniques/how-to-paint-fabric-with-chalk-paint/

Hello Annie and Team! Might you consider a polite request from someone neurodivergent, please? Can you *fade out the music* so as it's not constantly playing when Annie is talking, but used at transition points? It's become a trend on YT to have music underscoring constantly and it becomes a real fight for a neurodivergent brain to focus on what Annie is saying, and - as inoffensive as the music is - *Annie is honestly far more interesting, and I'd much rather listen to her* without a constant ear/brain fight! Several YT creators have cottoned onto this now, using it only for transitions and time-lapses, and many even advertise "no music" in their video titles, they've had so many requests. Hope you're not offended by my request. Helen 🤗 PS - I adored the techniques Annie shared in this video, and am now very tempted to create my own curtain fabric. 🙏🏼 🤍🐦

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Thank you so much for your feedback Helen, we will pass this on to the tech team!
