New Paintings at Chet Pourciau Design!

We love these new paintings that just got in! The artist's name is Bekye Fargason. Bekye applies layers of plaster, metallic leaf, waxes, oils, acrylics and natural materials to create canvases that are heavily textured, highly luminous and sensitive to changing light.

These pieces are swamp themed! Perfect Louisiana Art.

Memorial Day and Fourth of July DIY T-shirts

Instead of buying a pricey tank top or t shirt this Memorial Day, you can use this paint method to make your own patriotic wearable art. Follow instructions below to make your own.

What you will need:

• Tank top or t shirt
• Fabric spray paint from an arts and crafts store
• Painter's tape/ stickers
• Cardboard/ old folder 

Lay your tank top on a flat, protected surface.

Take card board or an old folder and put it inside of the tank top.

Now you can start your design. I decided to make a flag inspired tank top.

Once everything is taped, you can start spraying. 

Let dry for about half an hour.

This is my favorite part! Start pulling off the tape and see what you get!

Now that I finished the red stripes, I started with the blue part.

I cut some stars from used Avery labels. You can just buy stickers if don't want to do this step.

Tape off blue area and spray.

Let all paint dry over night.

Love! Patriotic and wearable!

QWERTY Sofa

After being glued to our computers and cell phones all day, this sofa seems to fit right in with most our lifestyles. The QWERTY sofa by ZO loft is playful and comfortable due to the individual motorized keys that can be adjusted. I would love to sit on this!

 Each flute is blown from the clearest glass and has a hand-carved "ice" finish to complement a cool cocktail or drink. Heavy glass bases anchor the stems. A slight luster finish on the carving reduces fingerprinting and adds allure. Find these beautiful flutes at this LINK
