1 Paint the shelves with Stéffan and the rest of the frame with Godfrey’s Glimpse; apply two layers, waiting 30 minutes between coats.

2

2 Once dry (this will take at least 4 hours), do the paper transfer on the shelves. Apply Tjhoko Clear Glaze to the front of your printed image and allow to dry for an hour; repeat the process. Apply Clear Glaze to the shelf on which the paper transfer will be positioned and place the image on the wet glazed surface, facedown. Use your brayer to smooth out any air bubbles and allow to dry overnight. (Clean any glaze off your brayer after use.) Use a kitchen sponge dipped in water to wet your image and slowly start rubbing the paper away with your fingers to reveal your transferred image. Do the same with the second shelf, using a different image.

3 To add detail to the side struts, apply raised stencilling using Stencil of Paris and your stencil. Secure your stencil with masking tape and apply the Stencil of Paris with a paint scraper. Remove the stencil as soon as you’ve finished and allow to dry thoroughly (about 2–4 hours). Once dry, I painted over it with Godfrey’s Glimpse.

4 To finish, paint the cross beam at the back and the ends of the legs with Thinus’s Terracotta. Use your tape measure for accurate measurements and mask off the bottom section of the legs with masking tape before painting. Use your 38mm fibre brush to ‘dry brush’ over your embossed stencilling with Fine Lining. The hanging rod was left as raw wood for quirky contrast.

There are a few new features in this year’s competition. Most importantly: all entries must be posted on Instagram. This means you must have an Instagram account; if you don’t yet have one, download the app from the Apple App Store or on Google Play, create your profile and get going. Feel free to send an email to editor@homemag.co.za if you need assistance with your entry.

C AT E G O R I E S

We also have 10 new categories this year. The judges (an expert panel consisting of Home editorial team members and the Tjhoko Paint team) will review all the entries and then select finalists in each category. The list below is a guideline of what we’re looking for:

1 The best under-18 entry 2 Most impressive focal wall 3 Cutest entry 4 Best community initiative 5 Most inspiring 6 Most unusual entry 7 Most touching story 8 Best upcycling project 9 Colour inspiration 10 Best room makeover

Readers will be able to vote for their favourite entry in each category from Monday 25 October; look out for further details in the October| November issue of Home.

H O W T O E N T E R

The competition opens on Monday 21 June and closes on Friday 15 October, and anyone can enter. If you’d like to show off your kids’ creativity with their own painting projects, upload pictures to your profile and tell us more about the budding artist.

Follow these steps:

1 Decide what you’d like to enter; it can be an existing project or a new one. And there’s no limit to how many entries you may submit! 2 Take a picture with your phone in natural light (in other words, not at night with overhead lighting – we want to be able to see the project properly). 3 Upload the photo to Instagram and include these hashtags: #tuishomemag and #tjhokochamps2021. Give a brief description of your project, including the Tjhoko Paint products and colours you used. 4 Make sure your Instagram profile is not set to “private”, as we won’t be able to see your entry!

T H E P R I Z E S

The winner in each category will receive a Tjhoko Paint hamper to the value of R1 000 as well as a R1 000 voucher from Takealot. The overall winner will receive R10 000 cash and a one-on-one masterclass with Nadine Vosloo, South Africa’s Tjhoko Paint guru. The overall winner’s entry will be photographed for publication in a future issue of Home or one of Home’s special issues.
