    Can you believe I’ve had this thrift store pedestal bowl for over four years? You can see it in my Recent Finds Sick of Winter Edition. It’s just been hanging around in the garage all this time—waiting patiently.

    The pedestal bowl actually needed a little work. The base and bowl were loose and wobbly. My neighbor Rodney helped me get the screws out. The screws were stripped. Rodney used a drill bit to drill out the heads.

    I replaced the screws and added Gorilla Wood Glue for good measure, then I painted it white.

     

    how to glaze pedestal bowl

    I used my Smoked Glaze  and a chip brush to change up the white pedestal bowl. This step doesn’t have to be neat, you just need to spread on a little of the glaze. Less is MORE.

    stipple glaze This is where the magic happens. Can you see it? What a difference it makes when you stipple the glaze! How do you stipple paint or glaze? Once the glaze is applied to your project, use just the tips a chip brush to dab or pounce the glaze/paint. Stippling is a great way to hide brush marks!

     

    after stipple paint technique

    I love how pretty the stippled glaze technique looks on the wooden bowl.

    You can see in this phot that there really isn’t any glaze ON the brush. It’s a lot like doing a dry brush effect. The most difficult part of this stippling technique is getting the top to match the bottom.

    I needed just a bit more of the Smoked Glaze—can you see the tiny bit I have just on the tips of the paint brush bristles?

      I love this technique. The different variations of how how much glaze is the fun part. It’s what makes it a perfect handmade piece. You never said how you did at Glendale. Did you take your larger pieces of furniture from the place that closed. Do you miss making the larger pieces?
