Crafty! 8x8 Stencil - Big Floral - TC8005
Prima Art Alchemy Paints – Opal Magic Violet Green Opal Magic Pink Blue, Opal Magic
Blue Gold, Metallique Light Patina Metallique Rich Turquoise
Prima Art Ingredients Glass Beads - Grass and
Micro Beads - Copper
Prima
Art Alchemy Wax – Vintage Gold and Amethyst Magic
From
stash – Bird Mould, Bird Nest, Wooden Eggs
With
the weather so gorgeous (I did make this a few eeks ago!) my mind flitted to all things new which inspired this
piece about a bird and her nest of eggs.
I began
with using the paperclay in the bird mould and leaving to dry over night. When
the bird was dry I painted it with the Teal paint and added Vintage Gold Wax.
For the
shrine I started with passing Modelling Paste through the stencil onto the
front of the Shrine. I made the shrine
up and dotted all 5 colours of the Art Alchemy paint all over the inside and
the stencilled front.
Next I
added the waxes over the stencilled area for definition.
I
constructed my shrine and added the glass beads and rhinestone banner using gel
medium.
