Tortoise shell

I also really like tortoise shell. I have a pair of end tables that I created this effect on. This set is currently on sale either individually or as a pair at Paw Daddy’s Crafters Gallery in the North Hills area of Pittsburgh. I have a small booth there with a lot of small items for sale.

Faux Marble

I recently donated this end table to the Lung Association to auction off at an event. I mapped out the star pattern and then taped off the parts I was not working on. Needless to say, it took a very long time. Once all three marbles on the top were complete, I painted the front, sides and back black and finished it off with some antiqued gold accents. Finally, several coats of poly acrylic ensure its longevity.
