I am going to have to think about which idea I want to go with. It will probably boil down to how confident I am in my artistic skills.Shalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12152225087778289655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6134234226568094114.post-81094349054426451422013-03-07T20:45:22.986-05:002013-03-07T20:45:22.986-05:00Thanks Faby!Thanks Faby!Shalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12152225087778289655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6134234226568094114.post-17619906159051048872013-03-07T20:45:07.826-05:002013-03-07T20:45:07.826-05:00Thanks Kyle!

Well done - painting AND remembering how to. :D<br /><br />Your chairs look wonderful too, I think 'normal' people (ie not miniaturists) would never guess that you have used a fan, they are so perfectly scaled and look just right. I like the idea of white - fresh spring gardeny, but love Betsy's idea of chinoiserie too.

I thought immediately of Tynietoy :-) I think the fan back chairs could look good with a solid colour on the sides, top and legs, the fretwork detail picked out in colours and upholstery or petitpoint seats echoing the colours & designs in the fretwork ...

I never would of thought to use a fan like that.<br /><br />My vote is that you don't paint flowers on those chairs, it would just take away from all the detail that the fan adds. <br /><br />The table needs something though. Maybe try to incorporate the fan design onto it somehow?Kyle Leforthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265232153758006608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6134234226568094114.post-20738669874708011152013-03-05T21:55:41.899-05:002013-03-05T21:55:41.899-05:00Thanks!
