Painting Ceramic with a New Mexico theme (White Sands Nat Pk)

I'll add the whole collection once I've thrown them in the oven tomorrow, but I was painting some Value Village/IKEA merchandise with Porcelaine 150 for a Humber project, and it's working out nicely.  I think this is something I would do for myself outside of school.

Ceiling medallions as decor?

People are trying it.

What do you think of it?  I'm not a huge fan.  

But, with a ceiling medallion stencil, you could do a lot.  Those would look nice as major focal points on a wall which don't have that 3-dimensional distraction that actual medallions have.

You could make a patterned "wallpaper" out of it.  Using metallic hues at only half-opacity would add such glamour to a space.

And look at this beautiful floor stencil, somewhat similar to the wall idea.

On polished concrete!
