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.

That's really neat, and for a good cause, too! Well done!

Thanks Osquer. In a former life I worked in non profit. Being in charge of a silent auction once myself was a certain level of hell. So one of the ways I advertise is to donate to non profit holding special events. It is a win - win.
