Re: advice on painting a bookshelf

No advice....just what happened to me..
I painted the top of a small book case last year. I had the students work on
it when they finished their work. I sanded the top and used acrylic paint
and some permanant magic marker. I don't know what happened over the summer,
but the cleaning crew must have squirted their strong cleaner all over
everything in the room and let is soak....several spots of paint came off but
none of the marker. So it needs a major touch up. I probably should have
sealed it with something.
I used famous art images all over it...from King Tut to the Scream...it all
looked very surreal when done. Lots of fun.
