Skull & Cog Plate

 

I painted another plate with black powertex.

I then painted it in pewter metallic acrylic and pulled out a few pieces to decorate it with.

I arranged them how I wanted them on the plate.

And then I coloured it up in purples and blues.

And I took this photo outside in the sun this morning which is a truer representation of the colours.

And a view from the left.

And the right.

Green Man Plate

 

This is a plate that I was given who wasn't keen on the colour.

Painted it in black powertex, coated a piece of t-shirt fabric, scrunched it up and placed it in the middle and then placed the green man in the centre.

Whilst still a bit tacky I placed some resin, wooden and natural pieces around the centre piece.

I coated everything in powertex and then used treasure gold and alchemy waxes to bring out the different textures.

Then I took some photos outside which represents a truer colour.

And another close up of the right side.

And the bottom.

Splattered Ceramic Plate

Lin kindly gave me a few bits of ceramic to play with. I decided to use the smallest and simplest shape to start with, as I didn't really know what I was doing!!

Having read the back of the DecoArt multi surface paints, ceramics are mentioned, so I took out the dark scarlet and gave the plate a couple of coats.

I then took it out in the garden and literally threw carbon black media paint at it directly from the bottle. I used a pallet knife to smudge some of the spoldges.

I wanted to give it a coat of gloss glaze, but for some reason I don't appear to have any gloss.

Therefore, I put on two coats of satin varnish instead.
