Paint Brushes with a Difference

 

Used some more fast cast resin in the moulds.

Painted the brushes in black powertex.

Added some texture to the top and the handles.

Then I started to play around with the embellishments.

Used powertex to stick them down and also used black gesso.

Once they were dry, I coloured them up.

I decided to go a bit rustic with this one.

This one looked a bit angelic so went for a more subtle colour scheme.

And kept this one simple with a few different shades of gold.

Really enjoyed playing with these, thanks for looking.

Textured Canvas

Carrying on with the PA theme of mediums and gels I randomly placed some on the above canvas board.

I didn't have any with the beads in so I made my own.

Once completely dry, which takes absolutely ages! I sprayed with black and turquoise shimmer media misters.

And then I found a bottle of Lindys Stamp Gang Starburst stain in Opal Sea Oats. I don't have it in a spray but in a bottle with a dabber top, anyway it worked great. The above photo was taken outside.

I stamped the Brette Weldele images from the presenters plate and coloured with distress ink markers. I added lots of embellishments but didn't want to cover any of the textured areas over.

Triple Frame Hanging

After I returned from the AS weekend, using the products I already had, I tried to recreate the grit effect on this trio of circle frames.

I gave them all a coat of white gesso, and mixed equal amounts of matte medium and coarse pumice gel by Golden and applied to the outsides of each of the frames.

I stamped some LP oriental images onto a piece of card that I'd previously coloured with alcohol inks.

I die cut all the images with a spellbinders nesties circle die.

Unfortunately they were still too big and I had to cut them down further.

Painted the frames in little black dress and hi-lighted with treasure gold.

Finished piece hanging from the light fitting!!
