Today’s project
is one of the combined MDF and acrylic wall hangings from That’s Crafty!; the
main panel is MDF and the cogs which hang from it are acrylic.
Here is what I did:
MDF Panel
I sponged PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylics in
Chalk and South Pacific to create the background. I then printed the words on
my computer and used an image transfer technique to transfer to the panel.
There are lots of methods and mediums for image transfer but I just printed
onto thin glossy paper (so the printer ink sits on the surface) and then placed
carefully on my MDF. (The words need to be a mirror image first). This technique
does not give a perfect result – but I quite like the mottled finish. Finally I
add PaperArtsy Candy Floss through the That’s Crafty! Paws stencil and around
edge of panel.
Acrylic Cogs
I stamped Bentley in Stazon on each of
the cogs on the front and then painted them with the same combination of Fresco
paints on the back. I added some highlights with Promarkers on the stamped
side.
See you next
week!
