I had so much fun making this piece with all the new,
gorgeous greyboard embellishments. This time I have a little step-by-step photo
tutorial for you.
I started by using three 4x4 white/reyboard panels. I
added modeling paste through the 8x8 Clock Stencil on all of them. I used bits
and pieces from “Clocks and Cogs” greyboard embellishments in the corners and
also to join the panels together, using gel medium. While the modeling paste was still wet I
added the TIME and clock embellishments. I also added a tiny bit of mini art
stones at the corner pieces for extra texture.
I painted the whole piece with black gesso and then I
painted the embellishments with a layer of brown rust paste.
I continued with adding a wash of white gesso on
different areas of the three pieces. I then continued with Turquoise and Copper Shimmer Paints which I sprayed with water so they could move a little on
my panels. I added red rust paste to the embellishments as well.
I continued playing with my paints and pastes till I
was happy. I glued the cogs down with gel medium.
I thought I needed a little more contrast and color,
so I picked out the Blue Shimmer paint and the Bronze Metallic paint and added
a few splashes here and there. I made two holes through the top panel and added
wire, that also got a little coat of rust paste.
Finally I painted a scrap piece of paper with Charcoal Shimmer paint and white embossed the quote. I added some details with the Charcoal paint in the clock and around the word TIME for some more definition
and to bring it all together.
