You might think that I am trying to show you the same table all over again..but now listen..
Well, quite a while ago, I think it must have been in january, I bought some Scenic Rust, and I wrote on this blog that I was a little dissapointed with it, since I thougt I could make the same effect with paint and sand much cheeper.
Some days ago I got an E-mail from Birthe Knuth at Miniseum, where I bought the Scenic Rust, telling me, that she had discovered that a part of the materials from the period where I bought mine, had a "construction failure". So she offered to send me another set and vupti, now I have rust on the table that I wanted to rust (and a lot of other places where I couldn´t resist the impulse..).
So this is how it looks when it works. And actually this time the rust smells like rust, that special ironsmell..its not just a kind of paint, and I love both the color and the texture. So thank you Birthe, and I promise rusting will continue not to sleep ;-)
I love the rust effect, thank you for the info Susanne. Sounds like you can make a much, or as little rust as you want, is that right?
ReplyDeleteI remember how disappointed you were when you used it before, it going to be like crackle paint effect isn't it Susanne - nothing is going to be safe from its application! ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd if Margaret gets her hands on it I suspect she's going to have a lot of rusty stuff in her Petite Parterre - not a bad thing, seems the more 'distressed' an item thee days the more it costs!
That's great customer service, isn't it? I'm so glad it worked well the second time around, and I'm chuckling at the thought of you dashing about, rusting everything in sight :)
ReplyDeleteThe table looks lovely, by the way!
The table does look great. :)
ReplyDeleteYou can never have too many rusty items. ;)
This is a fabulous table! So PETITE!!! And the rust is perfect. I plan to make a similar garden table for a new scene (I haven't already finished the present one!), but don't know which technique to choose.
ReplyDeleteThe table is pretty :) And great customer service :)
ReplyDeleteHi Susanne. This time the rust will not stop anyone!
ReplyDeleteI recommend: resist the temptation to rusting anything you happen to shoot :-)
Beautiful the result (and beautiful coffee table)
Kisses
Hi Susanne, what a beautyfull miniatures you made, I love it very much!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat shop or what is it, on the right side, I am falling in love of it, can I say that?

When I first read about how there are actually spray you can buy to rust stuff, I thought who in the world will buy this? Now I know :) . Can't stop rusting stuff myself :).
ReplyDeleteSaw that table in a previous post and seeing it here again but won't ever tire of it. It's a very pretty table!
Very pretty table indeed! And the rusty smell is actually wafting all the way here over the internet connection... or perhaps it was your excellent description and my overactive imagination.
ReplyDeleteWow Susanne, I love the table. It looks great, works faster than putting it outside in the rain ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments! Ill try not to make too much or too little and put it the right places ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you can make as musch or little as you want. You mix it from different ingredients and add it with a brush. I takes 8 hours to delevop.
Love, Susanne
I forgot to say: Bözse, I didn´t make the table, it is from Reuter Porzellan, lots of miniatureshops are selling it. Its normally nice and neatly painted dark green..
ReplyDeleteLove, Susanne
Hi Susanne. I really like your table and the rusty effect. Did you sand the table first or could you "paint" it as it was?

ReplyDeleteHi, I deleted my previous post, because I was´nt making myself clear, hope its better now.
ReplyDeleteYou don´t normally have to sand but to ensure a clean surface. The label says that it will go on all paintable surfaces such as metal, wood or plastic, but you have to get more precise information.
I´m sure you can find more if you google it, I haven´t tried that yet.
Love, Susanne
Great customer service.
ReplyDeleteThe table looks great.
Det bordet ble helt perfekt ,så skikkelig gammelt og antik ut .
