Guest Artist
Sandra Feazel



Sandra Feazel is a local Interior designer/artist located in Grapevine, Texas. She is going to show you how to paint just like Mackenzie Childs and upholster the most cutest piece of furniture with rich textiles and hand made milliner's. A Living Tuffet This project will combine many different mediums and most of all it will inspire you to take any piece of furniture or canvas and make a whimsical masterpiece of your own! Taking ideas from a living chair and an upholstered tuffet, you will create an amazing piece which represents your own personal style and can be incorporated into your home or studio!

Sandra Feazel's Project
A Living Tuffet
Hand painted and & Faux Finishing Techniques





Just in case you thought the tuffet we pictured was a little too much pink whimsy or maybe just not your style....hang on to your Spring hats girls!!! We will also be learning some "Big Girl" Tuffet Techniques!!!

Have you ever wanted to know more about faux...like glazing, crackled effects, texturing....what about some painted patterns too??? Are you wild about animal prints....maybe a little leopard, some zebra....or is it damask that tickles your fancy??? Learn about all of these and more...and you can choose the colors too. Is your style, red and black...or Old World Italian...or maybe Flea Market French....well whatever your style, I am going to help you make a tuffet to be proud of!!! All your girlfriends will wonder where you found that hand painted upholstered treasure!!! Was it Neimans, Horchow...or one of those expensive specialty boutiques...Nope!!! It was that creative tasteful woman that is savvy enough to come have tea with her creative girlfriends and create a one of a kind unique piece of furniture!!! You can choose the size you want to play with....and for a special added treat....

You can join me for a Fabric & Trim Shopping Extravaganza!!! Watch for the date and join me as I lead you on a fabric shopping spree that hits all my favorite places for fabrics and trims....and...that's not all, you will share in my designer discount at the stops that offer that to the trade!!!
