Below - Plastered Stencil Design

At the recent July, 2008 SALI Convention, Charleston SC, we received our first testimonial as an Artist commented the day after purchasing her first Mushroom to stencil with:  'I LOVE IT! It's so easy and effective! Thank you!'

Since the day when the doors of Buon Fresco Wall Artistry opened, the founder, Victoria Bingham, has developed exquisite techniques that won the studio numerous awards, an abundance of media attention and an international following of clients and students.

Many of these techniques were made possible by the development of precision decorative art tools.  Some of these fine tools include:

• THE BLUE TOOL^TM  A Venetian Plaster tool for precise applications of Venetian Plaster to rounded surfaces such as Groin Vault Ceilings, Niches, Domed Ceilings and Columns - for marbling or just polishing.  Also check in with our..

BLUE TOOL NEW USES PAGE..

• THE MUSHROOM^TM  Precision Stenciling tool for rendering of sharply defined patterns over a base of paint or glaze; or over Venetian Plaster - using either tinted Plaster or Wax.
• THE MARBLING BLOCK  A Marbling Tool  made of the softest /most absorbent - highest quality fine foam designed to paint and finesse large drifts of color across wall sized Venetian Plaster - faux marble - slabs.

The MUSHROOM^{TM          [patented]}

^{The Mushroom is an extraordinary stenciling applicator designed to apply, finesse, and burnish paint, plaster or wax medium through a stencil, all the while the tool is actually holding the edges of the stencil in place while you work!}

^{You'll be amazed at how quick and accurate the process of stenciling your walls and surfaces will become!  Note: The Mushroom is washable & reusable when used with latex or water based products.   Mushrooms come in a set of 3- sizes, in a 'faux silk' pouch for air drying the mushrooms after cleaning.}

 ^{Firs Introduced at the SALI Convention in Charleston, SC to a wildly enthusiastic reception - The Mushroom gets testimonies all the time such as these told to us at the show:}   

•  "These tools are great!  That's the best stenciling tool I've ever seen!'  R.J.

• 'I LOVE IT! It's dynamically effective! Thank you!'   A.Y.

What have we done with Watermax?  Easier to tell what haven't we done with Watermax!

Buon Fresco has finished thousands of square feet of Glazing to include Scumble Glazing with cheesecloth, Strie' - a Fine Brushed finish [usually suicidal to attempt with anything but an Oil Glaze] and Kitchen Cabinetry Finishes over Wood. We finished the majority of the Saudi Arabian Ambassador's residence in Virginia using Water Max!

• This glaze stays open longer than oil, yet it dries smooth and soft like an oil glaze! 

• The Glaze may be RE-WORKED just like oil!  If you miss or mess up, just wipe it off or roll over it, and start again!  Try that with Latex!  With Watermax you get the benefit of an Oil Glaze without the solvents or the fumes!

Once you try Water Max - Extended Open Time Water Based Paint Glaze, we guarantee you'll never return to Oil or Latex Glazes !
