Oh…….My…….Word…….

Yes I’m still talking about the clay because when I told you I was done with the it and gave you that nice before and after shot, I really wasn’t done because it is the Clay That Never Ends…. Smile

Want to know why?

1.) I decided to really get creative with the powder room (the guest bathroom)  Not a BRIGHT idea when really all that you should be thinking about is just FINISHING up the job

In the middle of the process.....

clay 024 (2)
One wall done! (the other sides still need the grey/green)
2.) My hard working husband who works from home mentioned how much he would love a few of his office walls in the clay (how could I say no, even after 70 hours of hard labor???)

Not a great picture, but I did it in a soft green color
3.) My cool iron piece I bought had a mighty hard time fitting in the hole they made for it so basically they had to tear apart the wall opening  and push it in and have me make it look spectacular again.  (I won’t mention that while I was trying to make it look spectacular, white primer bleed through he blue tape and I had to meticulously scrape off small white spots on the black iron with an exacto knife.)

To make the clay butt up against the iron correctly took a LONG time!

WOWZERS!!!!  But I can officially say I AM DONE and my blister is no longer a blister but but a beautiful hard callus…..(I know, TMI)

Great job on the Clay and I really do like the use of the iron. Just wondering what color you used? While I have installed AC, I am really a woodworker at heart and my all time favorite finish is OSMO - well worth a try if you finish wood. But it rally is fun to play in the dirt (clay).

WOW! I wish I could just insert about 50 WOWs in this comment. You are incredible. BTW....I would love it if you stopped by my blog today! We are hosting a 2012 "Impossibility" challenge. And what you just finished is pretty "impossible."

Reply@Reid, Hi, glad you liked the clay! I used Enjarre in the pretinted Agate and Calcite with a little Quartzine (white) on my pallet. I went back over while it was still wet and did some skip troweled quartzine (white) marks to give the one coat system more texture. I wish I did more wood work but I'm not very good with powertools :-)

Hi I love your blog. I have spent all morning (and a little more) reading almost every one of your posts. You have a great imagination and so much talent. I'm a new a new follower. I have a thing for thrifted lamps too. I think my favorite of your posts is the one about the very large canvas turned capiz shell and mirrored peice you hung over your bed. It was stunning. love your stuff!! And congratulations on your new home. It's beautiful and your AC walls and ceilings turned out beautifully. I know you are tired but isn't it so worth it? Thanks for sharing it with us
