Well, it seems that more people prefer the antiquing than not and I agree most of the time.
This is last post http://mariesegal.blogspot.com/2010/05/to-antique-or-not-to-antique.html
I am liking this one though, very much. I have the brightness that is so typical of wonderful Mexican art, but my little skulls pop right off the piece.
Delightful! I love Mexican art. The colors are perfect, but I do like the antiquing on the skulls. Perfection my dear!!! **kisskiss** Deb
ReplyDeleteIt adds a lot! Looks more finished. Like all the cake decorating look to the border! ;-)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely antiqued where skulls are concerned!
ReplyDeleteI do think the antiqueing adds depth and punch to the product. I like a little *age* on things (I say that every morning as I look in the mirror!!!HA!) Seriously...on my work, I do it for the same reason, because it gives visual depth and texture that makes a piece even more intricate than what it actually is--judging my own work.
ReplyDeleteI cannot say *why* that happens.....it's something I have frequently asked myself as I ahve been covered with paint, *dirtying* things up!
XXOO!!

Thank you so much Deb! I love Mexican art also.

Oh good Lynn, I did want a sugar skull type feel to it!
ReplyDeleteI love *age* on things too Anne! ;-D
ReplyDeleteMaybe if I make it my mantra, I will eventually believe it, eh?
It does make a difference doesn't it Theresa?
ReplyDeleteI love that, *selective antiquing*, I am using that one CM! ;-D
