Faux marble workshop, laser poop

Last night, Tina taught a great workshop on faux marble.

Here are some of her samples:

The round table is a new design Tina came up with. Love it!

The 1:48 table (upper right) is wonderful.

Still a lot of work to do as our homework is to add several coats of semi-gloss varnish (sanding between coats) to add depth to the marble. I'm very pleased with the top piece - not so much the lower.

You start by painting both sides of the wood with the base coat (black in this case). When that's dry, you put a coat of water on the pieces, then sponge on Hunter Green. The next coat is Sage green which is spattered on with a toothbrush. Then the veining is added in white.

 Everyone did different colours of marble and they all looked amazing. Great evening.

Tina gifted me with a bag of "laser poop" (the off-cuts from her laser cutter. Am looking forward to sorting through it and seeing what I can do with it.

Sorry, I'm having trouble cropping my pictures the last couple days.
