My most recent 'victim' of my love affair with 'Primer Red' is this once-dated, tired gilded gesso frame. Its size and style instantly suggested that it would make a fantastic chalkboard. I applied two coats of ASCP, carefully wiping the paint off the inner detail of the frame to expose some of the original gold. After the paint was dry, I lightly distressed the edges and applied clear and dark waxes.
This frame is really big! The chalkboard surface is 24" x 48", and I installed the hardware so it can be hung either horizontally or vertically. It's sitting in my shop now ... waiting for its next owner. Is that you?
