Jonathon is at it again! This time, he’s upcycling two thrifted finds. First, a tired old lamp base AND a printed pot that had plenty of shape but not quite the right look. These thrifted pieces may not look like much at first glance, but with a little IOD clay and the right moulds, these pieces are right at home in a French countryside vignette. In this tutorial, Jonathan creates a soft, almost porcelain look that's rich with texture yet subtle with contrast. He starts with a base of chalk-type

The lacquer method for applying paint inlays is so good when you want to build richness on a piece, but it can be a little picky about how it releases. 😉 We love this quick tip from Artisan Jonathon Marc Mendes, where he shares his secret to getting your best possible release with lacquer.

That light pressure helps the pigment release evenly, so all those tiny flouri

In honor of Earth Day, we’re celebrating the joy of upcycling. The feeling that comes from repurposing discarded items into something absolutely charming. What if we could see the objects we upcycle through their life stages, the hands that used them, and the moments they were part of? Wouldn't that be a delight? In a way, upcycling bygone items preserves and honors the history of those pieces. Isn’t that beautiful? It’s also a sweet way to give back to the environment by creating darling decor

For this project, we paired the delicate details of our Vintage Brooches Mould with the sweetest little gems from the Millot’s Pages Transfer. We used mushrooms, cherries, butterflies, and blooms that look like they came from a Victorian storybook. A soft coat of chalk-type paint, a touch of gilding, and dark wax bring out every last bit of vintage charm. While these petite beauties make darling jewelry, we can’t help but imagine them nestled into a shadow box or even re-imagined as Christmas or
