Please go to my new blog - http://www.thecolorfulbee.com. All of my new and past blogposts will be on there. I am no longer posting on Blogger. <br /><br />In answering your question - you can paint right over the burlap - any color etc. The clearcoat that I used on mine was VarnishPlus from Faux Effexts (located in Florida). On my client's burlap inserts, after the carpenters glue, I clearcoated with ColorSeal from Faux Effects - then I glazed the burlap. You need to clearcoat first (and you can use any clear Polyurethane product from Ben Moore or Sheriwn Williams etc). It needs to have that protection or else it will not look good - the product will just unevenly stain the burlap otherwise). I hope this helps. Please come visit me at my new site!<br /><br />LindaLindahttp://www.thecolorfulbee.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9197757595431621152.post-31168547961089622682012-11-08T11:56:28.767-05:002012-11-08T11:56:28.767-05:00What do you use for the clear top coat over the bu...What do you use for the clear top coat over the burlap once you have used the carpenters glue to glue it on?Leslie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367316277766716136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9197757595431621152.post-83442460384270372062012-11-08T11:54:07.842-05:002012-11-08T11:54:07.842-05:00What did you use for the clear top coat?

Carolyn Quartermaine is English. She was inspired by some French lettering, but she is so English. I am French myself, and I can tell you, the French designers would never do what she does, and consider this as a huge compliment. Carolyn Quartermaine speaks French because she spent a lot of time in Switzerland, yes, she has a house in the South of France, yes, she exhibited at the Musee de la Toile de Jouy, near Paris, where I went to see, and it was wonderful, but she is absolutely English and she is delicate as many English designers. For example, I see a common point between Rachel Ashwell and Carolyn Quartermaine. Probably the feminine and elegant touch. Both English.<br />I just wanted to precise that, because as French woman living now in the US, I always regretted that the French designers don't have the same imagination and elegance as Carolyn...<br />Just a precision.Yael Bolenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164332890214084215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9197757595431621152.post-66710861251223837072012-07-22T10:24:53.879-04:002012-07-22T10:24:53.879-04:00Thanks - I do love to do staging in addition to de...Thanks - I do love to do staging in addition to design work and decorative painting.
