Talk Faux

Well, I’ve previously touted how wonderful Talk Faux is.  Talk Faux is one of the largest faux finishing forums in…geez, I guess, the world since it is on the World Wide Web.  (I don’t like being all grandiose and spouting off the word “world-renowned” all easy-breezy but I guess if you are online and have members from various countries, you do have international presence.)  Anyhoo.  It’s a beautiful site where about 1,800 members come to talk about faux recipes, faux issues, faux ideas, ask faux questions, have a faux gallery…in other words, talk faux.  I’ve been active at the site for a bit so imagine my surprise and delight when I was asked to be a forum Moderator.  I think being a Talk Faux Moderator is like being a docent in a beautiful museum showcasing living, breathing artists.  As the docent, you guide everyone around the museum, help answer any questions, make sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable, call security on visitors who become unruly and just generally peek around all corners to make sure all is running smoothly.  I’m in good company — some of the other moderators are some seriously respected faux folk, like Dean Sickler, Kathy Carroll, Kathy Boyd, Donna Phelps and Sweden’s Hakan Engstom, to name a few.  I’m like the Junior Newbie Moderator!  So come on in to Talk Faux — it is seriously the best online faux finishing group I have encountered!  (BTW, it also has a sister site: House of Faux - check it out, too!)

May Workshop Winner and June Workshop Contest Details

I’m proud to announce that Elsa Dilone of Kissimmee, FL has won May’s Free Workshop Contest.  Congratulations!  I can’t wait to see which workshop she chooses! 

June’s contest is really easy:

E-mail a faux design question you’ve been meaning to ask (i.e, What colors are good for a dining room?, Can I glaze my 12-foot walls by myself?, What base paint do you recommend for a faux finish?) and I’ll pick the most intriguing question.  Not only will I answer it and post it on our blog’s Mailbag – it will win you a FREE class.  Be sure to use the Contact Us page at our website to send them in — I look forward to hearing from you!

Good Luck…and I hope to see you on Talk Faux (I’ll be the one called FauxGirl)!
