I was hesitant to do this folding screen when my client changed her mind about the concept last minute, calling me to tell me she wanted a lion and a tiger on the screen. The original screen proposed had more of a Fall Foliage theme going, without animals. After poring over images and ideas, I finally felt comfortable with the compromise I came up with.
This folding screen is made differently from the previous two I have done. The doors are solid wood panels, bi-fold doors that you would use for a closet. They are much narrower and I found the panels limiting to the design… at first. Here you see them base coated.
I taped out the base coat and added a metallic orange glaze to the top and bottom portions of the panels. Next, I added the Small Moorish Trellis stencil design over the glazed areas.
Here you see the stencil completed. The fabric that is on the two couches in this room is to the right, with a closer look below.
