Second has better contrast! Did you just auto convert the svg?
Absolutely professionally beautiful job! So impressive!! I am trying to restore a vintage chalk Blessed Mother statue. Her face is the hardest. I tried plaster of Paris to fix her nose which was partly missing, but I had never thought to use spackle with it. The paint was chipped all over her, and when I lightly sanded her face it left some thin lines. Is there a way to paint and smooth them out? I ordered some Liquitex satin gel and was going to mix that with the paint.
@@victoriaspalding9629 I would have to see it. Sometimes stabilizing the paint and just leaving it is the best. I've added a small amount of plaster to paint before and sanded it lightly if it's a very small crack. A second coat of paint might not stick though without a little shellac. Try it. Denatured alcohol removes all sins😉
Wow! Gorgeous work. ❤
"I just keep making things" lol - love it!
I was hoping that you might be interested in looking at some stations of the cross that I have from a convent in NY. The Sisters have all passed away and there are no more religious sisters in this Order. The Sisters were among the very first social justice organizations in NYC to take in women off of the streets in 1890 (before they became religious sisters and were non-sectarian) and out of prisons and reform and reclaim these women into leading good lives. In 1903 they became a religious order and have housed over 100,000 women without fee or application, ending the cycle of recidivism and needing to engage in prostitution in order to stay off of the cold street. They also provided housing to young teen girls that aged out of orphanages and provided all of these women with the opportunity to work as laundresses, doing the laundry for as many people as they could get accounts for. And for women that had been considered undesirable at that time to have received recommendations of good character from the sisters meant that these women could branch out and leave the mission of the Sisters convent and lives and find work and marry. The final religious Sister is actually somebody that many have been stating is going to be up for canonization and that process will begin in September 2025. We have their stations of the cross and they are in disrepair. They are plaster they were never meant to be outdoors, but they stood outdoors for one century and so they are now 102 years old, according to the paperwork. They are to be gifted to a local Catholic charity hospital, which happens to be cardinal Dolans hospital of choice, and by this memorial park for which they are going to be placed outdoors at their new home at the hospital in memorial to the sisters, we get to be able to increase the endowment that the sisters have left, which will ensure the health of the community which the sisters loved so much. Do you think that you have any interest in working in this? The memorial will last in perpetuity as it will be a secret space blessed by his eminence. And we have even chopped down the trees that were planted at their final convent that we know for a fact, we’re planted by the sisters since the, entirety of it will be knocked down and made into apartment buildings anyway. And those trees are being mailed into which there will be a bench for every single station of the cross made out of the trees that the sisters planted in 1922 at their novitiate. I could use someone with your skill and as this will be a very large memorial site, every single hand that has been part of this memorial will have their name as part of the plaque that will be about 5 feet tall on a boulder that’s about 10 feet tall and flat And will be there permanently. so if you have any interest in discussing this further, please contact me. prenagrishaj@gmail.com
Thats really impressive! I’ve been trying to learn Inkstitch and I’ve been looking for inspo but a lot of people just do logo patches and such. It’s nice seeing something more complex.
@@Qichiquiche thank🥰s
Great. Finally someone who understands painting. So many of these restoration video "after" photos are so flat and lifeless because the restorer doesn't understand washes, blending, etc. I'm actually stunned by how bad some of them are. I know of a 100-year old statue that was restored for a basilica in the Midwest. It is flat, dull, boring and it was a very expensive "restoration."
Bless you. Love your heart and work. I worked on saints for friends. Now been asked by people to restore their family saints. Good feeling when its all done. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you🥰
have you ever used Golden Gel Topcoat as a final finish
No I haven't. I'm sure it's fine for indoor use
Great work. I've been asked to restore a statue and I had a difficult time hearing the type of paint you used in the video. Would you mind sharing the exact paint and varnish you used for the project?
Any acrylic will work once it's sealed
Hi Denise. I just got a beautiful virgin Mary very old chalk/ plaster statue. It has quite a bit of damage and some of the plaster is very fragile where paint has come away. What is the best product to use to strengthen the fragile plaster( its kind of like honeycombed if that makes sense ..? I don't want to repaint it. I like it's age and it's story in that, but I do want to preserve it so it doesn't get any worse. It is very dull, which I also like. So do t want anything shiny that will ruin it's look. Can I maybe send you some pics? And get some advice please? Thank you! Regards.... Julie.. in New Zealand 😊
I'm sorry but I don't really know. There are some very flat varnishes, but I've not stabilized an entire statue.
How are you leanring. Im trying too, but im not as successful as you are. Any good tutorials to watch?
@@urkcin9385 The one with the dad and daughter. I don't remember the channel name.
I've seen those well watched those videos but I'm not catching on to theirs.. so people you can learn from some you can't..i can't with them but i still watch them@DeniseHoukMedia
She's so cute
Thank you!
Good job
Thanks. This is kind of where I stared, and now I make other kinds of characters
Miss I love your stuff and I was just wondering by any chance do you sell it
Hi, you did a beautiful job, I have 2 vintage pieces that i want to restore and it’s not a big damaged but I need it to do it , where I can buy the material?? One is the divine child and his face had some scratches but I don’t know how to make the color and on the base , is a square but is broken on the edges, what material can I use to make the square again you said plaster and ?? What else
You can get it at hardware stores. It's what they use to patch walls.
Lovely work! Here in Tipperary of course there is the real thing, allegedly, but I don't think I'd like to come across one! 😬😆 ☘ 💖🙏💫
Oh my! This video made it to Tipperary? 🤯 That's so cool. Thanks for the lovely comment. I ran into many obstacles making him, showing me the frustrating nature of their nasty tricks 😆. I think you're right. They wouldn't be that fun to meet.
Amazing
Thanks!
Very cool
Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤ Your videos really cool.I gave you six flags
Aww thank you. You're one of the rare people that saw it. 😆 Just like in school... I'm not very popular
Ficou Perfeito
obrigado... I hope this is correct☺️
Thank you for sharing your knowledge ! The result of your restauration work is absolutely beautiful ! I only started a month ago with the restauration of plaster christmas nativities. Very satisfying, and it brings me a lot of peace of mind
Thanks for your kind words. I wish you all the success with your projects.
That’s beautiful work Denise. You also did s phenomenal job on his gun. You really did your research, as the gunstock looks like a real camel gun musket stock. I’m currently working on Our Lady of Fatima, and I’d like to know what mixture you used with plaster and spackle to create a workable plaster putty.
Thank you for the compliments. The mixture is really personal preference. The spackle will slow the hardening time of the plaster, but it will also make it softer. Are you working on an area that needs more strength or more time to model? Adjust accordingly. You can't really mess it up. If it starts to set up too fast, add more and then carve it after it has set up but is still wet. If you add too much spackle let it dry and use an extra couple of coats of shellac. If it's an area that's really weak, reinforce it with an armiture. I hope this helps. I'm on FB if you need more help. I only check YT once a day.
Could you post a supply/brand list? What type/ brand paints do you use? Do you clearcote when done?
@robertwhitaker3839 I do clear coat when I'm done. I mix flat wall paint (samples from box stores) with acrylic art paint. I think I was using liquitex or Blick but cheap craft paints work. Really... any acrylic works. I use the wall paint as a base because I like how flat it is and it's a lot more pigmented. The color changes a lot more when it's drying, though. The nice thing about paint is, you can always paint over it.
can u please tell me the glue i have to use to connect the head of a statue to the neck; the head is quite heavy but no chalk fragments broken at all. thank you.
You can use wood glue
Amazing job on all of them. The arm is Christ is a great size and proportion . Excellent job on all of them .
Thank you
You have a resin printer right?
Yes. I resin printed the face hands and boots. You can use an extrusion printer though. You'd just have to use a filter printer and sand before you paint the final color.... for the face anyways.
Great stuff.
Thank you. I really appreciate the comment
Nice work Denise!
Thank you. That means so much coming from you. Your work is amazing
@@DeniseHoukMediawell… thank YOU as well! 🤗🙏
❤
Thank you
It looks amazing, you should try to get away with adding a small child into the basket
If you've got one... I'll add it😆
@@DeniseHoukMediaI might have one just uhh don't ask where I got it
Can I repair a break with the plaster mix you describe in comments? Statue has broken off base. Beautiful work you did.
You can. You might want to deal both sides with shellac and glue it together with wood glue, then fill the cracks with plaster. I have also drilled and added support with metal or wood if it is a thin area that might break again.
What brand acrylic works best for you and type of varnish for protection and gloss effect? Thx
Acrylic is acrylic... anything works. The difference in paint is thickness and how opaque or transparent the paint is. I like using flat wall samples mixed with craft paint because it's very opaque. It is really just personal preference. On these, they were going to go outside, so I used a spar urethane with a UV protection, but it all depends on where your statue is going. Lately, I've been using Polycrilic from Minwax because of all the options in finish. I like the ultra flat.
Thanks. I've been considering offering to re-paint stations inside our church but my strength is painting with Liquitex acrylic - possibly add a varnish for gloss? @@DeniseHoukMedia
Great vid!
Thank you!
Fantastic job!
Thanks
You're welcome. I am going to have to repair a 1933 Popeye chalk ware statue and your vid's have been very helpful.@@DeniseHoukMedia
@@boris1932 that sounds fun!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I
6 you 🥰 Normally, only my mom comments😆
Great harmonies; as a Celt rock bassist I can't help hearing this with power chords!
I'm very much impressed. Do you do repair work from others? -Thank you.
Yes, but only locally. I am not ready to take responsibility for shipping.
♥Beautiful 🌿
Thanks
This is really cool! Like time traveling into the past!
Thanks🥰
That looks great and your sculpting in the hand looks really good. I like that you didn’t repaint the entirely, but left some of the original patina. I also liked the sheer washes on the face. Well done!
Looks really good. May l ask how you would clean a plain (no colour) chalkware where someone has started to paint an outline and then left it - how would l get rid of the colour could l use the likes of vinegar?
I've never done this so I'm not 100% sure. I'd test a small area with whatever I'm cleaning it with. My preferred cleaner is denatured alcohol but it will remove acrylic paint.
HI what the best paint to you on plaster our lady statue - it very old what do you recommended
It's really hard to say not knowing more about it. The older statues were painted with oil paint
I could do a better job but it's a reasonable effort not everyone or anyone can be to my standard.
That’s amazing. Where can we find your video?
Yea how bout you follow the old Arabic proverb- STFU. Be kind and not criticize someone’s work. I’m sure you can plaster along with the greats. But this is not the time or place to spout off. Cheers.
Oh come on, Steve... 😊
Fantastic work Ms. Houl. What is the ratio of plaster to spackling? I need to repair a statue of St. Philomena. Half of herr face is gone.😮 Thank you.
It's personal preference. The more plaster, the harder it will be.
@@DeniseHoukMedia thank you.
@@DeniseHoukMedia good morning Ma'am. I was wondering if I should seal the plaster before painting and if so what to use?
@@bryontheriot6552 yes, sorry I didn't see your comment sooner. I use a shellac based primer.
Did you just swap a damaged one for undamaged one. Like a cooking show " here's one I prepared earlier". 😉 I have a hawaiian lady lamp from the 50s or 60s tretchikoff era , she needs repainting what paint is used for chalkware? I can't get much information about the paint they used. Her skin colour is a haunting grey tone looks like the living dead I wouldn't alter that or her hair but just her clothing and daisy in her hair. Obi wan kenobi your my only hope!!!
You'll need to use the force and figure out what is on there already. My guess is airbrushed oil based enamel. Then, you have to as yourself if you'd like to repaint it traditionally or use acrylic. Acrylic is basically putting plastic over what you have. To me, it's acceptable. That might be up for debate from "collectors". Take your pick. They'll both work. Any raw plaster needs to be primed with shellac or a shellac based primer.
@@DeniseHoukMedia oh blimey sounds complex. I will just paint her clothes and flower white with tippex I think lol. I did wonder how they got the finish so smoothed airbrushed certainty makes sense to me. Thank you the force is strong with my but not that strong. I was reading that you cant paint acrylic onto oil as its water based but I'd imagine non waterbased acrylic is available. I think my best bet is to make her look presentable enough to me. Progress not perfection 😉 . That's what they tell me in A.A meetings 😆
Well done! I am looking for information on doing a little bit of touchup on a few of our church's antique nativity figures; no pieces are seriously damaged, just a few nicks out of robes and a sheep is missing an ear. The majority of the repairs will be paint touchups, but for the deeper damages, what type of plaster do you recommend? Pottery plaster #1? Hydrocal? I feel like some sort of putty would be "just right" to fill in the spots. Not too runny, easily sculptable. Thoughts?
For small repairs any of the things you mentioned will work.
I am restoring some plaster statues at the moment, and watching a number of CZcams videos and I find yours the most inspirational. Thank you
Could I ask you a question, please? How do I strip old paint off of a plaster statue? Thank youuuu…
It really depends on what kind of paint
Nice work
Thank you!
Awesome!
Thanks!
Hi what’s the name of the soft pliable material you used for repair . I’m in Aust I hope I can buy it here ..
joint compound mixed with plaster. The more plaster, the harder it will be
