Take a piece you previously worked on or someone else worked on that quit and renew it into a new piece!
I started a jewelry armoire months ago! Just had moulds on it and became overwhelmed with my idea since all I could find was small leaves'. Iod came out with a new mould "Viridis" and that was all I needed to give me the inspiration to pick it back up and finish.
This armoire has had a series of magnolia flowers and leaves; using resin, and then Das clay in moulds to create a flowing design up the side to the top. They were dry brushed to add color. Made by Marley Magic Decoupage Paper, in the patter, "Hummingbird" was added inside and down the front of the drawers. Piece was painted to match the green in the paper, with a final touch of gilding wax put on the flowers and leaves! This is a maximalist piece all the way!!

Oh Dar..... You are my girl. Beautiful absolutely fabulous. I love you Lel x
Oh Lel, you have made my day! I want you to know that you two have completely changed my life and approach to art! I would have been doing boring mundane flips, then one day I saw you work, and was on a whole different adventure! Absolutely love you guys and what you bring to all of us.xxoo
Hi Dar! Absolutely gorgeous and stunning creation. Love the hummingbird decoupage papers from Made by Marley. Love the climbing flowers and leaves you made with moulds. And love how you explain the process. Fabulous Makeover! 🌿🐦🌿🐦🌿🐦🌿🐦🌿🐦🌿🐦
Thanks shirlene, I think I may have lost my patience here and there a little bit, lol, a few choice words may have been spoken. But, I knew Lel"s hummingbird paper would really add the final pizazz it needed. Thanks for watching and commenting, regards to you my friend
Love love love the outcome, the colors are perfect and all the details go so beautiful together 🎉
Maria, thank you so much for watching and your beautiful words of inspiration to me. It really does make me smile inside when my fellow artists drop in and watch with such kind comments, regards to you, dar
Looks amazing...love the moulds🧡🧡🧡
Thanks Linda, it was alot of fun creating. I gifted it, because I would never get my money out of it in the location I live. Glad you stopped in to watch and comment, on to the next piece and I have nothing in mind, yikes!
Wow! That’s incredible! So much detail on such a little piece! I absolutely love the flower moulds you added and adore the pink color you chose. Great job!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting, it was a duzy. In the end it was what I had envisioned! Regards, dar p
What a cute piece - glad you didn't give up. I love those flowers!
Thanks so much, I hope this inspires some other people to give this a try, over all the dry brushing saves you alot of time, regards, dar p.
Oh, Dar! That is BEAUTIFUL! Wow, the moulds on one side, I just love that unilateral edge. So, so pretty!🥰 Love the decoupage paper, too and green is my favorite color.
Thanks Kat, art therapy all the way multiple times a day, lol. I gifted it to my niece who has never had a jewelry armoire before, and she is 40! Finally sat down for the day, at my MOL house going through stuff, the house has been sold, what a nightmare. Going to watch your vid now, xxoo
@@diysbydar Oh, wow Dar. That must be such a huge load on you. I'm sorry and I hope you get some down time this week. On the other hand, what a lovely gift for a girl who needs a jewelry armoire! She must be THRILLED! 💗
The molds are my favorite!! 🤩 I am in love with those and the dark wax made them pop!! So good!!! 💕
Thanks so much. It is so much fun using decorative waxes on things, just need to know if it's a water base or oil base so it dictates when you put it on. Ask me how I know that one, lol. Regards. Dar p
What a magic result!! Beautiful!! ❤❤❤ you are an artist , Dar!! I love your pieces. I hope some day I can do decoupage like you!!
Thanks so much Andy! I am afraid I might only be able to set Made by Marley paper, its the only one I have ever tried lol. I need art therapy for my mind, been taking care of my mother in law for almost 3 years, she has dementia and is a hospice patient. I loose myself in the projects I do!! Regards, dar
Dar, this is absolutely stunning!! I love how much detail you put into the flowers and leaves from your placement to the dry brushing to the wax. I cheered when you dark waxed 😅 Also the Made by Marley decoupage paper was the chef's kiss!
Thanks lavonne, I had to think about the order of things here so I could get to the end goal. Yes, I love dixie belle waxes. Lel's paper, I love all of them, I really don't know how to put any other papers on but her and Marty's, lol
Stunning
Thank you so much Kathy! The new owner is thrilled to get it, I still have it sitting a bit to cure. Regards, dar p
Such a lesson in patience! I’m inspired I have not worked with colored waxes, but your demonstration of the depth it adds make me want to😉 Really lovely so glad you tried it again. Thanks for taking part in this challenge😊
Thanks Margie, I love using waxes. You just have to remember that gilding is usually petroleum based so needs to go on last. Although you can still top coat it if it has cured for a week or so. I did work on it over a month, but I have to take care of my mother in law first before my play time.!
Wow! Very detailed and beautiful. I'm glad you decided to finish the piece 😊
Yeah, it sat for a while taunting me, lol. All it took was that mould! Going to get my next one going, and I have the same mold in my hand, lol. Thanks Nina
@@diysbydar 😂 then it's money well invested 😉 Have fun, and I can't wait to see your next video 😘
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Regards, dar p.
Wow! Amazing, Dar!
Thank you for watching and your amazing words of encouragement, I love when people can find some fun in my crazy designs! Regards. Dar p
@@diysbydar You're welcome. You have a talent beyond restoration. You're an artist.
Very pretty!
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment, much appreciated, regards, dar p.
Incredible! Love the use of moulds, but the Made by Marley paper is so much fun. I use DIY paint exclusively. DB has some questionable business practices. This is my favorite piece of yours, good luck! Lel will love it. 😊
Thank you so much, I am glad it's one of your fav's. I know about DB products, I have a bit to use up, I really don't know what I want to try now, DIY is one I am looking at. Thanks for watching!!! Regards, dar
@diysbydar I love DIY paint Dar (thats Debis design diary that i told you about before).. I also love wise owl paint, and they are michigan based I think somewhere near you actually!
I do love it and it's so bougie...... I can now retire ❤
I absolutely love this piece! Can you please share the names of the moulds you used! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us!
Hi, so glad you stopped in to watch. I used 2 moulds, you should be able to go right to them on the links in my description. The one is from IOD called Viridis, it has great greenery leaves and thick vines. The other is from redesign by prima called magnolias. Thanks much, regards to you, dar
Wow wow wow!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Again Dar your attention to detail pays off!! Every little element is stunning!!!
Thanks Krystal, it sat for so long with molds on it and no progress! That new iod mold gave me a sense of excitement to finish it. Funny how that works sometimes. That armoire was over 25 years old, but it was mine, so it was in really good shape, mdf though. I gifted it to my niece who has always wanted a armoire, she has alot of jewelry, including pieces I made for her. She is excited to get it!!!
@@diysbydar I know you gift alot of things to your niece, you are a true blessing to her!! I know how much work you put into this and im sure she cherishes all of the beauty!
