Hey all, welcome to another post for Faith Pocock Craft Studio Ltd. Today I have a project that has been on my Pinterest to-do list for quite some time. I first saw these altered artist palettes one night whilst merrily pinning away (as you do) and I have been dying to get my hands dirty with one. I tracked down some palettes and this is what I created.
I first gave my palette two generous coats of white gesso on both sides and then messed about with a heap of metal filligrees, charms, cogs, resin pieces, metal flowers, resin flowers and a fabric doily. I played around with the direction and layereing before finally settling on the landscape orientation and the embellie cluster you see below. Then I took heaps of pics, because, I don't know about you, but once I move them, I am darned if I can ever remember the exact layout I had going.
My next step was to glue everything down using E6000 and give everything a couple of coats of gesso. Oh no!! I forgot to mention I also added some texture by using some stencils and the Art Basics Modeling Paste - Opaque Matt.
Whilst I was waiting for this to dry I decided to pick out some sprays and I ended up with the following Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays - Jack in the Pulpit Teal; Sweet Violet Purple Teal; Gossamer Gold; Wisteria Purple blue and lastly Glitz Spritz Blazing Sun. Below are a selection of photos I have taken at different angles trying to pick up the gorgous colours and the glimmer. I have also rubbed some gold metalic ink over the raised surfaces and I dry brushed some gesso to the beads and letters....
and here are some glamour pics....
