I use Plaster of Paris and flat paint. There are many recipes and they are all about the same, if you do a search. I don't measure so I haven't posted a recipe!

You did such a great job renewing her. The decoupage napkin looks like it was always there. Sure wish I could find a highboy like that around where we live but if I did it would be too expensive for me. Everything here (western CO, Grand Junction area) is so expensive. Maybe I should say it's expensive for people trying to live on their SS for only income. Property here is priced like there's gold running thru it. I get so disgusted sometimes with how things are priced here. But sorry I digress. <br />Wish I could buy your little chest from you, love it so much, the details on it are wonderful. I love old fashioned things, the styles appeal to me so much more than anything new. <br />Have great rest of week.
