Art House by Lynne Moncrieff

Today I have something new from That’s Crafty to
share!
They are launching shrines which is exciting news as
the shrines vary in styles and size and the largest size, we are talking large!
I slipped up and didn’t measure this Art House but this is the largest size
shrine and it is very generous in size with depth in the shadowbox to allow and
depth for embellishing as you wish.
The That’s Crafty! Inspirational Quote stamp was
perfect to pair with the Art House.
Supplies
That’s Crafty! Word Series Stencils - Create, Art
PaperArtsy Everything Art Stamp Sets - EAA02, EEA03 and 05
Sharpie Paint Pens – White, Black
Mini Canvas with Easel
Palette Knife/Old Credit Card
Extras: Paintbrush, Sari Ribbon
Instructions
It’s your choice if to prepare the shrine before
assembling or after. My choice is usually,
to prepare, assemble and add any final touches of media, stamping, etc as once
it is assembled I can get a good idea of any additions to help balance the
overall appearance.
Prepare surfaces with Gesso before applying the Fresco paint from the Seth Apter collection with an old credit card/gift card.
Onto the top of the house, stamp 'art house' with the fabulous new PaperArtsy EEA05 set. Onto the rest of the frame, stamp the word 'art' repeatedly. It isn’t about being able to read the words, this
creates pattern. Onto the bottom edge of
the frame, stamp create art.
For the shadowbox element of the shrine, stencil create and art. Create pattern on this
panel and the frame with stamps from EEA02. Highlight with paint pen.
Randomly apply paint to white cardstock. Stamp art wheel, paintbrush, paint tubes and
Inspirational Quote. Cut out. Adhere one
of the stamped paintbrushes above “Create”.
The house can now be assembled.
Onto a mini canvas, apply paint. After cutting the Inspirational Quote into
word tiles, adhere to the painted canvas, scribble around the words with paint
pens. Paint the easel. Adhere canvas to the easel.
For the colour wheel, with the EAA alphabet stamps,
stamp the word artist. Assemble the
canvas, colour wheel, brushes and paint tubes, with Gel Medium to the
shrine.
Adhere a grungy paintbrush to top of shrine. I used a messy brush, allowing the paint to
harden. Wrap sari ribbon around end of
paintbrush before adhering.
That’s the Art House, ready to be displayed in your
art room – although this is possibly the same dimensions as my own wee art
space!!! It’s a fabulous size to work
with and imagine the possibilities – decorate it for a New Home gift or a way
to honour your own home and family or a vintage style house.
There will be more shrines to share very soon!
Wishes
Lynne
