My First FARRAGOZ Project

I thought you might like to see where I am right now with my first  FARRAGOZ  project.







The best part of this project was, after I had the basic image done, I was encouraged to experiment a bit. You're not suppose to have an exact match, just use the recipes, and techniques provided.  I went a little further with the variation of colors.

Here is the  FARRAGOZ  example.



Although I'm not finished with it, this is how mine looks right now.  I'm planning to tweak it a bit, and do a little more distressing.




After I complete this, I'll be on to the next project.  This clock face.




I have to say, I'm having fun with this.  I'm already using the techniques on some of my redesigns, including gesso made with an old world recipe.

If you haven't checked out the course,  click on the  FARRAGOZ  banner on my sidebar, or, click  HERE .

If you haven't read about my decision to review this course, and become a partner with FARRAGOZ, you can read about it HERE.

I know some of you have already signed up.  Have fun.

  4. I am taking the same course. I'm encouraged to see your icon. The hardest part for me was finding the right kinds of powered pigments and the lime that was needed. We are set for life with all of our lime needs.

  8. Yours looks beautiful. Is Farragoz an online course that you can take no matter where you live?

  11. Blind choice I think I'd choose yours.None the less, Bravo Brave Girl! Such care to History and detail, yet all yours. What was that you say about an ' old world gesso recipe' ? Now what would that be?(:
    Looking forward to your iconic piece being duly finished.
