CityViewNC.com | 17 P Faux Finishes BY PAMOLU OLDHAM PHOTOGRAPHY BY MAT THEW WONDERLY PANDY AUTRY IS A WIZARD with a wall, column, floor or boring bureau. Just give her any blank surface, and she'll transform it. Your broom closet will magically morph into a wine cellar with stone wall and grout lines, your fireplace mantle or wooden column will convert to marble. She'll add a hundred years to your new front door through distressing or give weave or grain to an expanse of drywall or bare flooring. Pandy is a master of faux painting techniques and decorative painting. History in the making Faux painting or faux finishing comes from the French word for fake. Faux painting isn't one technique but an assortment just as curry isn't a single spice but a mixture. is technique of making a surface look like something else can take many forms: fresco; Venetian plaster; marbleizing; stenciling; rag painting; sponging; strie' (French for "stripe" or "streak") used to simulate fabrics like linen; graining, called faux bois (French for fake wood). Why so many French references? It seems that during the Renaissance, two schools of faux painting developed: the Italian, which is "realistic but loose" and the French school, which is "intricate and complicated," demanding a hard look to spot a flaw. Pandy falls into the latter group. She's a perfectionist. at's why Victoria's Secret flew her into Fayetteville, WE OFFER • Traditional funeral services • Cremation with a full array of service options • Arranging honors for military services (active, retired or veterans) • Assistance with the filing of benefits (Social Security, VA) authorizations (death certificates) and insurance • Memorial DVDs and other memorial tributes • Pre-planning funeral options • Serving all faiths and cultures: We care for families of all faiths and are able to assist those without a spiritual leader WE PROVIDE • Full service facilities • Chapel seating for over 200 people • Exceptional staff: We have carefully chosen each member of our staff to ensure that our families receive the most professional, compassionate care • Family operated atmosphere.
