Let it be known, I have a weakness for Prima
Relics and Artifacts!
I generally do not get excited about individual
products (other than stamps and vintage/ephemeral items!) which is good in one
way because if I announce I like something then rest assured I really do like
and there are reasons.
I am in no way affiliated with Prima Relics and
Artifacts but if you haven’t worked with them, maybe toying with the idea of
making a purchase, here are a few of the reasons I reach for them but this is
just my personal view.
They are so smooth and I have found them to accept
anything without an application of Gesso:- Frescos including metallic and
Crackle Glaze, Crackle Paste, Distress Stain Sprays, Martha Stewart Metallic
Acrylics and to a lesser extent mica powders. No doubt the day will come when I
might need the aid of Gesso but not so far.
They literally are a blank canvas for you to
create to your style:- Mixed Media, home décor, wearable art, jewellery, wall
art, cardmaking, tag art….. and whether contemporary, vintage, shabby,
Steampunk, timeless elegance, somehow they seem to morph to whatever style you
want.
You can stamp onto them, draw your own art,
transfer images, adhere fabric and jewels, layer various R&As together….
Yes, I am slightly obsessed!!!!
I made this piece of wearable art for a friend who
celebrated her birthday earlier this year.
Supplies
PaperArtsy Fresco Finish:- Brown Shed, Old Gold, Toffee, Claret
Basic Jewellery Tools
Jump Rings (substitute with Idea-ology Jump Rings)
Extras:- Rhinestone chain, strong hold clear drying adhesive, chain* and fastener
Instructions
Apply paints to R&A, blending the colours as
you work, leaving centre area lighter.
Remember to paint the rear. Dry with heat gun.
Stamp selected LPC image onto tissuestock. Adhere
to centre area, removing excess tissuestock. Once dry, highlight with copper,
particularly her cheeks.
I chose to embellish the pendant with rhinestones but you could use anything. Once the heart is complete, attach to jump
rings and chain, attaching a decorative fastner.
There we have it!
Until next time,
Lynne

ReplyDeleteI'd say it's a healthy obsession that needs to be nurtured Lynne. You've created a masterpiece! I've just indulged in my first set of Prima Artefacts and I can't wait to break them out of the packaging. Your gorgeous piece is perfectly timed to inspire me and spur me on.
ReplyDeleteWow Lynne, what a beautiful necklace, your friend must have been so delighted with receiving this stunning piece. I have still to try the artefact range, but have looked at them on many occasions.....my wish list is always so long !

You're so right about the Relics and Artifacts, Lynne. They are a joy to work with and they are so versatile. I've seen many many different projects in every conceivable style using them and I love working with them too. What a great idea the combo of R and A and Lynne Perrella is on this piece. Her style goes so well with ex voto hearts! Gorgeous colours and gem stones too! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to see why you love the R&A's Lynne and the way you have created this piece is stunning and will be treasured by your friend x I am like Anne R and still look at mine in their packaging!!!!!! I really must get them out and create
ReplyDeleteTfs and best wishes

ReplyDeleteLynne, dear, another beautiful necklace, using Sandra`s wonderful R&A ..in the form of the ex voto heart, which I love.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous with Lynne Perrella`s stamped face, just the perfect size for the center in the heart, and in the tones of flames/fire. The rhinestones are giving the light and life to this amazing piece. Dorthe, xxx
Oooh gorgeous, I've been looking at them and now might be just the time to take the plunge and buy some ;)
