Create a Jewel Box of a Powder Room with Venetian Plasters
Oh yes, it's the tiniest room in our home ?and the one that all our guests see, eventually. It holds such potential allure and such realized dread.We want that critical bit of real estate to make a good impression, we want it to be original, we want it to be sexy but how? Easy! Let your imagination run free! Be wildly creative! Be daring! A fantasy faux finish is perfect for grabbing everyone's attention and setting the tone and attitude when those special guests enter that necessary little room. So many options, so little space! Great, do something unexpected. Faux finishes can be simple and stately, subtly underdone, just a whisper on the wall. But in a powder room, why bother with tried and true when luxurious and exotic is so much more fun? Go ahead and make a statement with the wall treatment.Make your friends and family gasp for the first time in a very long time.It'll be fun for them and for especially for you. Ever heard of Venetian Plasters? They are spectacularly rich polished plasters that originated in ancient Rome and migrated to the finest homes in Venice in the 15th century. Those Italians are always painting on their walls and Sistine ceilings.
The original uniquely colored and textured finishes were made with ground lime and marble powders.These days they are acrylic or latex products and are much simpler and versatile to work with for today's artisans. And the looks are astonishing. Most commonly, Venetian Plasters are used to produce a polished stonelike look. But with a little creativity on the part of the artist troweling on this plaster, a whole new type of look is possible. The addition of spectacular metallic waxes, plus pearl and iridescent glazes can bring an entire new dimension and surprise to the time-honored beauty of Venetian Plaster. Did I mention colors for these lustrous plasters? Think inky black, deep chocolate, sapphire blue, blazing crimson, spiritual turquoise. Let your imagination run free -- there are no limitations at all. Any color can be translated into this wondrous medium. Then watch as those metallic (such as: copper, gold, bronze, or pewter) waxes get applied and mysteriously alter the finish in a dynamic new way. The depth of color and variation will astound you and your guests! Multi-layering of plaster colors is another way to create drama. Applications of two compatible or better still, two contrasting colors can result in something that is truly unique.A tiny dab of brilliant green and a hint of luminous pearl in the sapphire blue and suddenly you have a faux lapis lazuli on your walls.

Bell Trading Post copper and turquoise jewelry?
Hi,
Did Bell Trading Post company (founded in 1932 in Albuquerque, NM) make copper necklace and bracelet with Genuine rather than faux turquoise? I have a necklace and bracelet which looks like a flower with 6 copper petals and one turquoise looking stone in the middle and 6 smaller same looking stones in between the copper petals. Can anybody tell me how to find out if it is genuine or faux? The more official/expert the answer the better.
Thanks so much!
I do not know but maybe you should take a nice closeup pic and post a link so we can see what you are referring to?
