Is Furniture Painting Art? Chalk Paint Ragging Technique

[@vickimontemayor3262]

What a blessing to have this experience with such good hearted people. 💕🌸Thanks for the inspiration you have shared with this 74 yr old crafter/painter.

Bernice!!!! You didn't have to do this!!! I was a pleasure meeting you and your husband! You guys were an inspiration to me and Ryan!

Why are tears misting my eyes? Because I feel the intimacy of friendship, even with those I have not met. You and Kacha were the first artists I was drawn to as I began painting furniture in my 70s. Oh yes, I adore my younger instructors. The two of you have remained my favorites and I learn so much from you. Thank you for sharing from your heart what the journey means to many of us as well. It encompasses more than painting because paint brushes, top coats, sealers, and gold leaf cannot fill our hearts with love and warmth. But people can and you have (including your husbands and dogs). I am proud of you and Kacha and will always remain a follower. With love ~ Betty, a fellow dog lover.

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Hi Betty! Thank you so much for the kind words! Kacha and I are good friends, I love her work and we love what we do! I am so happy you are learning from our videos they are a labor of love and we like to share our knowledge with others. So happy you are enjoying our channels!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏❤️🎨

Thank you for supporting each other’s goals and working smart to achieve them. Keep growing and making memories so, that your laughter will always remain. Furthermore, think painting furniture is art because the dresser is breathtaking; absolutely gorgeous it’s art on wood. I like the white gold accents. Good job!

Oh my goodness, there’s so much to say about your video. You have resonated with so many, and I’m no exception. I’ve been following both you and Kacha for so long and always admired the uniqueness you each possess. Learned so much about painting and many wonderful techniques. But the real story is not so much in your abilities to create beautiful works of art, but in finding friendship, love, strength and perseverance beyond the paintbrush. I missed your soothing voice and seeing your creations on a weekly basis, and I am so happy each time I see new uploads. Thank you for who you are.

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. With life returning to somewhat normal, it’s easy to forget about the isolation most of us experienced the past few years. So it’s beautiful to hear you describe the real connections that have developed in your circle. There is something so special that happens when creative people come together. You’re so right about finding the right people and supporting each other. Creativity has always been big part of my life, but usually in my own time on my own - which I enjoy. The past few months I joined a ceramics class and it’s been the highlight of my week. I have also made some wonderful new friends. Much love from Australia ❤

30 minutes of pure soul, thank you... uou magical thing! while I was crying much better🙄, I can only say that I felt the emotion in your voice, what hit me hard was when you said "Someone is either behind you, next to you or in front of you 100%". This is true, but it holds a lot of pain I am still trying to process. Blessings drom SA🇿🇦🦋

You are not alone Leentjie! 🤗♥️♥️ I totally understand! I do plan on explaining my story further but we all need to process the right decision and stay true to themselves! Your comment says that you need to say true! 🤗♥️♥️ For that I am really proud for you! 🙌

I want to thank you for inspiring me. I’m new at this and just did a couple of tables that came out surprisingly well, because I’ve been watching your videos along with Kacha’s. I just did a sofa table for my neighbors with your ragging technique!!! Your work is amazing! Thank you again for you video’s as they truly help people like me!!!!

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

That is awesome! So happy to hear you learning from my channel and Kacha's keep going!!!!!! ❤️🙏🎨

Wow, Christina, this is by far your best video to date! This is an absolute triumph! I've been on board since the 8000 subs mark, and I say that proudly. So thrilled you, Ryan, and Hadley had fun in my country!! Stay safe my friend and keep reaching for those stars...ok! Your North Carolina friend, Ken. 🕊🇺🇲

This made me cry 🥲 You’re a couple of years ahead of me on my creator journey and I’ve been on your channel almost from the beginning. I saw a lot of myself in this video, and the glaringly obvious ways I shortchange myself just when I’m about to break through. Like you said it’s important to surround yourself with like-minded people, and those who support you. The beautiful part is the journey and the discovery; not the “destination” or the “perfection” of a finished piece-bc neither of them exist. Happy Birthday! And thank you for taking us along-beautiful footage btw!

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Hi Carolyn!!!! So glad you enjoyed the video!! Enjoy your creator journey!!!! ❤️🎨🙏

[@ElleFurniture]

May I join the club? Felt the same...♥️♥️ Sending love to you♥️

Wasn't this an amazing event to enjoy with a great DIY CREATOR

[@HappyHarryX5]

Fantastic! Teaching always teaches you so much about yourself and is an awesome experience. You and Kacha gave me the courage to paint my head board and I love it. I’m also going to a buffet and 2 dressers. I used to think painting had to be perfect and you both taught me that distressing and blending is beautiful. I’m better at that than a perfect job and is more fun. Art comes from the heart and soul and after being crafty since the 80s, I’m finally starting to think of calling myself an artist.
