SOME DECOR FOR A FRIENDS HOUSE
ACRYLIC PAINTS WERE USED TO CREATE ALL DIFFERENT MURALS AND FACTURES. IN MOST CASES - BEFORE PAINT WAS APPLIED - WALLS ETC. WERE PREPARED WITH PLASTER TO ACHIEVE CERTAIN DESIRED RELIEF - AS IT COULD BE SEEN ON BOTH FIRE-PLACES - OR - TO CORRESPOND SURFACE WITH SOME "AGED", RUSTICAL FEEL. OBSERVATIONS AND STUDY OF "REAL" OLD WALLS, STONES OR "FLAKED" MURALS OR FRESCOS ARE THE GREAT SOURCE FOR IDEAS ON HOW TO CREATE FAUX YET NATURAL LOOKING TEXTURES WITH PLASTER, THEN TO BE TONED DOWN WITH PAINT FOR GREAT INTERPLAY, WHICH - IN TURN - COULD BE TAKEN FURTHER, BIASED BY "AGEING" THE PAINT WITH A FRIENDLY HELP OF AN ABRASIVE MATERIALS.
ALL THE MOLDINGS THAT DECORATE PILLARS ARE HAND MADE - MOLDED - USING JUST PLASTER, A CUSTOM MADE MOLDING TEMPLATES AND HANDS, THE OLD WAY. ON SOME PILLARS MOLDINGS WERE COATED TRADITIOANALLY WHITE TO MATCH FAUX MARBLE OR IVORY TONE OF PILLARS THEMSELF. WHILE FOR ONE PILLAR THAT IS A CENTRE OF A SPIRAL STAIRCASE MOLDING WAS PAINTED RESEMBLING THE FEEL OF A DARK WOOD - PARTICULARY, CHERRY WOOD USED FOR SMOKING PIPES PROVIDES AN INSPIRATION.
THEME OF A FRESCO LIKE MURAL PAINTING IS A CLIENTS CHOICE AND IS NATURALLY A COPY OF A FRAGMENT OF A FAMED, WORLDS LONGEST GOBELAIN KNOWN AS BAYEUX TAPESTRY.
