Lori you are the baddest chick. I would buy this for Mark if we had a place to put it. He would love me forever. How in the world did you do that??????? I have to know!

  LOL, Thank you! Ohhh Karen, this one about did me in. I wrestled, cussed and stomped my way through it. 😉 Ordered 3 of the same prints and staggered them all so I wouldn’t lose any of her face because I had to attach about 1/2 inch overlap to the top and bottom portion of the lip of each drawer. (Lip?? IDK if that’s the correct word) I’m so glad it’s finished. I’m kinda proud of the way it turned out 🙂 🙂 I think this is my favorite one so far. I love the curves.

Did you mod-podge the print on? Will you ever do a tutorial on how you did this?

How beautiful! I for one find decoupage challenging. The shape, color & graphic choice is simply perfection. Thanks for sharing, Dee from My Painted Stuff.

    Dang!! Do you plan on making another one like it? How much would it be to have you make another one with turquoise instead of the red?

I absolutely LOVE this piece – (this piece is how I found you!) and I’m you newest fan! Your work is amazing! If you ever post a tutorial on this, please let us know – That would be my dream project to be able to create that even 1/2 as well as you did!

Have a great creative day!

Lori, I know it’s been a few years when you made the marilyn monroe dresser. I just recently saw it and at that time you said you were gonna do a tutorial on how you made it. I know by now you have done that but I need to know where I need to go to find this tutorial. I love your work. I have a very good idea how you did it but I don’t want to make any errors. I need to know everything for sure. So can you let me know just exactly what I need to do? Thank you so much. Sorry it took me so long to find you but I know you are gonna be my favorite fan.
