Mano Venkatraman
and I
have had a lot of fun in our emails discussing creative ideas, use of color
and placement and the excitement of cast plaster decorating.
Mano loves ornate (as do I) and decided to give this
fireplace surround an EXTREME detail make over!
Mano found that repeating highly detailed mold designs would
create the look of carved panels. With that in mind, a new fireplace
surround was created.
Pre-finishing each piece with a rich, pale brown/rust color
makes the plaster look like carved wood! Accent/border pieces were toned
darker to create interesting detail in the pattern itself.
Mano is no stranger to art. His painting abilities are
terrific and use of color exquisite!
Keep us posted Mano! You are one creative soul we would love
to keep in touch with!
