I haven't got much free time at the moment but I wanted to use it wisely.
My liquid sculpting medium of choice is Powertex. You will have seen the ornament that I made my mum for Mother's Day..... it's great fun to use.... in fact I am a little bit addicted to the stuff!
So.... here is my project which I am entering for the challenge
I started of by taking a Paper Artsy Grey Board and I covered this with bronze Powertex.
I then took a strip of fabric and saturated this with Powertex before positioning it on the grey board.
I did the same with a frame and a cameo.
I also took some glass beads and positioned them in a couple of places. I then poured some Powertex over them. At this point I was worried because I thought I had created sludge!
This is what it looked like before it dried.
Here is a picture of part of my 'sludge'!
Once fully dry (over night) I sealed everything with a varnish.
Once dry, I then set about with various colours of Treasure Gold.
Here is a close up of the beads with Treasure Gold on them....
I tried to create an aged look to the frame. Before my project started it was a cheap plastic white frame!
This next photo shows some of the texture on the fabric
To finish my project I stamped a Lin Brown quote onto brown card and manipulated it in my hands to give it some movement.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed creating this project. In fact - if I wasn't so busy at the moment I would probably be creating more!
So.... there you have it - my finished creation for the Paper Artsy challenge.
Thanks for looking
