Project Download: Faux Fresco Frieze

Go big or go home. Or go big in your home, which is what master decorative artisan Curtis Heuser did in his Victorian's dining room. A playful take on a classic motif, this lyrical, oversized mural of rambling acanthus leaves captures the feel of fresco, a centuries-old technique of painting on wet plaster. Created with joint compound and latex paint, it's perfect for disguising crumbling plaster walls in older homes. Also an ideal technique for beginning muralists. Discounted at only: US$ 5
