MOODY BLUES

By SHABBY SHACK STUDIOS, Lori Kenny Dailing in Colorado Springs, CO.

This show stopper takes your breath away with its unconventional color combinations. Remember those favorite blue jeans that you wore and LOVED? Well this mimics the beautiful range of denim colors. The decoupaged doors, drawers and sides remind me of a cute colorful bohemian shirt that flows and bouncy sleeves.....a perfect outfit. The top of this piece has been painted with a technique that actually looks like denim....the threads and all! Just by using a stiff brush with glaze and working horizontal and then vertical.
