Very nice job😊. For years I made lampshades. That pushed me into finding various lamp bases. Sometimes I could find old lamps to refurbish and other times old objects would be made into lamps. I do so enjoy working with the soda paint. I'm just a crafter who enjoys playing around. Thanks f or sharing. ❤

Hi there. The white coats that I put on, which were stippled, were the baking soda paint. That's what gives it that plaster like finish and look. The gray layers were just dry brushed on and somewhat blended in on certain areas.

Every room should be decorated with a bit of shine/sparkle, and a bit of black. The lamp bases should have stayed silver, and add black shades. Perfect!

Is your stippling layer the paint with the baking soda in it or is it plain paint
