The Chicago Institute of Fine Finishes hosted a workshop in mid-November featuring Neil Cody demonstrating Oikos products.  Many unique and beautiful sample boards were created by the students, but these two caught the photographer’s eye for their use of color and design.

The first was created by Rebecca Wilkins, and uses a combination of Oikos Kreos and Blue Pearl’s Metallic Glazes to achieve the shimmery, multi-tonal look.

Another finish created combined some of the unique, soft colors of Blue Pearl’s metallic pastes and was created by Tracy Johnson.
