Mixed Media Sign

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here with a new mixed media project using the Delta Sander,  the Bench Drill Press, and assorted colors of Plaid Paints.


Start by lightly sanding the panel, then add tape to the edges to avoid painting the bark.  Use molding paste through a Plaid stencil. Allow the stencils to dry.


Glue a selection of chipboard, floral, clay and metal elements to the panel.


Paint the entire panel and all elements with black gesso.


Once dry, add metallic paints to selective elements.


 Using Plaid Color Shift paints, add color to the panel.


 Once the panel is completely dry, spray Tattered Angels Pearl Glimmer Mist over the panel.


Stamp around the panel with a script stamp using black ink.  Stamp dots and numbers randomly about the panel.


Add metal clocks to finish.


Use the Bench Drill Press, to drill holes in the panel.


Add twine to hang the panel.




Thanks for stopping by.

Steph, I really enjoy seeing what you are going to do next.
Always something different and original. You have a knack
for putting thing's together that make a great design.
Well done. I am a fan of some of the steam punk art and yours
are well done and I like them. Thanks for sharing.
