I have been reaearching the concept of using drywall compound and my cake decorating skills to pipe on some details. I anticipate hours o trial and error in the garage. Here is a tutorial I am using as a jumpigng off point. Maybe it'll help you add more of the glorious detail you crave? http://kattyscosycove.blogspot.com/2011/10/making-furniture-appliques.html Best of luck! -GlitterwitchRunningonFumeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942349712427921634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-41328704369671312112014-10-25T20:15:54.881-06:002014-10-25T20:15:54.881-06:00Ha ha... yeah, I have a similar problem.

I don't know if you have any places like this near where you live: We have this place called Reverse Garbage where you can buy "one man's junk" things like cellphane, old chests of drawers, shelves, old bits of phones, it changes as stuff goes in and out. You never know you might find some old wrought iron, things like that. I saw an old chandelier at a old dusty Vintage shop once. Keep an eye out for places like that in your area.
