Book - FOLK ART FURNITURE - Lea Davis

118 paged softcover book in good condition. Has a name and address written on first page.

Lea Davis has always loved the worn and time-affected look of old furniture. In this book she explains the steps and techniques that go to creating hand-painted treasures that will become antiques of the future. Her original and beautiful designs are applied to bedheads, a variety of cupboards, screens, a wooden trunk and a butler's tray. Subjects range from beautifully detailed farmyard animals to ornate floral swags, teddy bears, a cherub and a topiary tree. The book is lavishly illustrated with full colour pictures of finished items, detailed full colour how-to illustrations, and complete line diagrams of each design. The stages of painting each project are described in detail.
