Zentangle® on a Stool

Sanded and painted white.
Today was my day to try out that Testor's Paint Marker I posted about just previous to this.  So now I am working with black "enamel" paint in a marker sort of form.  Wow..a real challenge.  I expect that when I do the kitchen cabinets this way, I am going to have "fun".  

Stool Almost completed


The project took just about the whole paint marker.  It was running pretty dry at the end.  I can see I'll need at least one marker for each cabinet door!  Remember I am not doing the whole door...just a "river" running through the doors from one door to another.  Some doors will have more, some less.  Also I found myself rotating the stool for some patterns...not as easy with a rectangular door!  Wondering if I could put the door on a stool and turn it more easily?  The black paint does not dry as quickly as ink so I did use the hair dryer to set it up so I would smear anything.  This took about 2 hours or a little more.  I plan to spray coat it with clear acrylic.  What d'ya think?
