Hello Helmar friends, Lydia back to share another project with my trusty Helmar adhesives. This project I had some fun with as I don't normally get a little messy with mixed media. This project also features the use of magazines which was fun. I love how this turned out with the colour and the different products I got to use.
What I used for this project:
- Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste
- Helmar Tacky Glue
- Helmar Fabric Stiffener and Draping Liquid
I also use:
- an A3 piece of art paper
- Magazine ripping's
- Gesso
- Sprays
- Charcoal/ Pens
First of all I used Gesso to do a thin layer on the A3 piece of paper before adding some water colour. I picked these colours to match the pieces of magazine that I am using for this project.
Once the watercolour had tried I used the Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste to adhere magazine pieces that were ripped.
I did organise where I wanted the magazine pieces to be placed before I adhered them.
Once the Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste had dried I used some KaiserCraft sprays to add some splatters to the background.
Now I wanted to add a fun element to this project. So I used Helmar Tacky Craft Glue to adhere a crocheted doily. I didn't want this doily to be soft so I painted in some of the Helmar Fabric Stiffener and Draping Liquid in which once is dry will harden the flexibility of the thread used in the doily.
And lastly to add a bit of detail and a title I just used some black markers I had.
And here is my finished project.
As I mentioned at the start I really like how this project came together using magazine pieces but also because I often don't get to explore my mixed media side.
I hope you enjoyed and I will see you again soon.
