PURPLE ? ... In a world of neutral furniture

IMG_2780.jpg

How many samples, trials, paint types ( dyes, tints and stains)
does it take to get the right shade of purple???
No Joke!!! I lost count.

Frustrating was the process..
The dyes and tints, when they dried
did not come close to what it looked like wet.

I use wood dye in browns, blacks, and grays with success.
After torturing myself I went moved back to a stain process that I love,
and can manipulate til it’s what I want.

Finally! A purple that I love for this bench.
It is royal, with depth from the many layers of undertones.

Sculptural furniture stands out as art…..
Making it purple is bold and makes a statement !

Stay tuned for the finished pic!
Til next time,
