Hey Everyone Suzanne here!
I love seeing all the paint brushes that everyone has been doing so I thought why not do one too!
So heres my version for my Helmar project.
Don't forget to check out the Blog to see what creations the rest of the Creative Team have created.
I started of by painting the brush with some black gesso then using a little patterned stencil which I did over the whole brush.
After that I used some scraps of chipboard to add layers to give height so when I added other layers they were a bit more raised.
I added some muslin using the Helmar Fabric Glue which I also used to attach some string that I wrapped around the brush.
With all the metal embellishments I used the Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive (my favourite) I find this is great for the metal as it dries quick and has a great strong hold.
On all the other embellishments which were paperclay I used the Helmar Super-Tac Glue and as you can see here I used the same glue to add to some Art Stones to scatter over the brush after I finished decorating it.
I used Lindy's Magical's Shakers in Cowabunga Copper, Grab A Guy Gold and Guten Tag Teal randomly shaking one colour at a time then drying it before adding another colour until I was happy with the finish.
This Feather is an Acrylic piece from Memory Maze one of the new products they are now doing.
The little clock is also from Memory Maze Mini Grunge Clock which I thought and then I added a little Frame with paperclay cameo inside it.
I used Prima Art Alchemy Metallique Wax in White Gold over the top of every thing using a fine brush to get into the grooves and areas that I couldn't get with my finger.
