Affliliate Links, Products Used and Resources
Here is where I will share my favorite products to use.
I will share my affiliate links, these are links that I may receive a small percentage (commission) if you use my link to purchase from the company through my link. Each artist or crafter that is affiliated with a company will have their special link that you can use to purchase from the company they are affiliated with, by using this link they (me) will get a small commission (no charge to you) for helping the company promote and sell their products.
With sharing my affiliate links and resources, I will provide my reasons, share my experience and tips of using the products mentioned.
Some Resource Links are just links to the source of the materials I used. If it doesn't say affiliate link then it just a resource link, meaning I do not make any commission from the link provided and it is just my preference of materials used.

My Favorite Products to Use
Resources Used:
Here is where I will share websites, sources, references and more to my favorite sites, shops and fellow talented artists. I like to make sure I always give credit to where credit is due, it may be my design and vision but without the help of some great resources and materials I wouldn't be able to make my vision come to light.
Some of my favorite products to use when transforming and refinishing a piece (of course it always depends on the piece):
Amy Howard At Home Chalk Mineral Paint, One Step Paint, Milk Paint and Waxes are a few of my favorites. I love the light and dark antiquing wax and the Mind Your Own Beeswax. The all natural with European pigment Milk Paints by Amy are amazing in recreating that true Old World Finish. https://www.amyhowardhome.com/
DixieBelle Chalk Mineral Paint, Glazes and the Metallic Waxes are big favorite of mine. I love the bright, bold colors they offer. When I'm going for a more MCM or Retro look, DixieBelle is one of my go to's for achieving this look https://dixiebellepaint.com/
Rocycled Treasures for my decoupage tissue papers. Royce makes some beautiful and unique tissue papers. And she always is sharing new tips and tricks on her Facebook page. She is an amazing and talented artist. https://roycycled.com/
Re-Design with Prima my go to for my transfers. Each season they come out with new and exciting new ways to add amazing looks to your pieces. The transfers are super easy to use (once you get the hang of it) always full of detail and graphics. https://www.redesignwithprima.com/
IOD (Iron Orchid Designs) for transfers of a more french and old world feel. They created more than that but when I am looking for a French Old World Inspired theme I check with IOD first. https://ironorchiddesigns.com/
Wise Owl Chalk Paints, One Hour Enamel, Glazes, Wood Salves and Varnishes is another go to for great paint coverage, cool glazes and topcoats. Their Wood Salve comes in many scents and is my absolute favorite product. http://wiseowl.com
***As you can see, I use many different products by different companies for different reasons. I am an artist and each vision I have requires just the right product to achieve it. All of these companies offer great products. But to say I am affiliated with just one or only use to just one would be a lie. I like to play around with the textures and colors that each offer. I will sometimes even mix products. For example I may use DixieBelle paint, with Amy Howard waxes and a transfer from Re-Design. I'm not a stay in your lane kind of artist, I use whatever color, process, technique that speaks to me. It's always an adventure and experiment when I refinish and transform a piece. Please Stay tuned, I am just getting started
