Stumped on a project, application or product? Send me a note with your crafty crisis. I'll do my best to come to the rescue! AND - if you are a clever crafter and can offer a suggestion, please post a comment :-) Saturday, March 19, 2005Painting an office chair
Hola amiga,
Please help. I was given a (practically) brand new computer desk chair for free. I needed one for my son's room. Well, the chair turned out to be mauve in color. Now, don't get me wrong- I appreciated it and said thank you. My son has not complained (yet) but then again his friends haven't been over yet. He's twelve so I'd like to paint the fabric before this marks him for life. HAHAHA. Anyways, how can I paint the fabric or cover it up without tearing apart the chair? It is in such good condition I'd hate to mess it up. Hope to hear from you before our next pinata. Thank you and I'm enjoying you site. Always, Debi Hi Debi! What kind of fabric is it? On most fabrics you can use water-based acrylic, lots of it! You can apply a layer of gesso to make it smooth to paint on, and then dive in with acrylics. Use large foam stamps if you feel like gettin' funky with it. When you are done, use a water-based varnish to seal it all in. Hope it works out! Kathy :-) ********** http://www.CraftyChica.com

In a (hefty) nutshell: I'm a mom, wife, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. We have 4 Chihuahuas. I designed a product line with Duncan Enterprises - it launches this summer nationwide! I write a weekly nationally syndicated craft column for The Arizona Republic. I've authored six books. My 7th is a sewing book for Potter Craft and it comes out Feb. 17, 2009. I wrote and sold my first novel, "Love Shine". It comes out in summer 2009 (Grand Central Publishing). I make and sell a line of "Chicano Pop Art" with my husband, Patrick Murillo. He does all my illos! We are currently prepping for a six-month art installation for the Heard Museum. It opens October 2008. I have a web series with LifetimeTV.com called "Crafting With the Chica". I love to read. I watch too much TV!   Note to visitors: Hola! This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
