Thank you Terri. I actually did put the transfer on it over the glaze. 🙂 I haven’t taken pics yet.

The smoked glaze made all the difference. It looks better than with the transfer. Love it!!

It turned out really cute despite your difficulties. I think we’ve all had quite a few paint fails, but you sure rescued this one!

In reply to Jennie.

Jennie,

My issue isn’t heat stroke, it’s sweating too much and my potassium dropping too low. I’ve been hospitalized twice for it, so I know that I need to supplement with food and OTC potassium when I sweat too much.
Yes, if I put the chalk paste on it, I will definitely seal it with a spray sealant.
Take it easy friend, that’s hot–even though it’s a dry heat. 🙂

Your little stool is gorgeous! Reminds me of the one my grandpa made that a painted years ago 🙂

That’s so cute. I’m glad you finished it, but you do have to be careful about heat stroke. The glaze hides the little split in the top. I’d love to see how the chalk paste will hold up to being stepped on regularly. I’m sure that you’ll seal it. Would you seal it with a spray acrylic? I’m working on sanding a stool with 2 steps for my grandson, but it’s supposed to be 111 degrees today. It was 90 degrees when I got up at 5:15. Summer has set in.

In reply to girlfromwva. I was a hot mess Nova! Never again will I wait till last minute when I have a deadline. I'm always on top of things, so I forget how rough it can be when I try to rush something. lol gail
