Circles

Hi lovelies, today's blog post is for Tando Creative and this weeks theme is 'circles'. 

I used Tandos Guitar clock kit for this creation but decided to use it as an art piece rather than a clock, so used it without the clock mechanism.

The top layer of the kit comes completely disassembled which is then adhered on to the base of the guitar shape after decoration, which means many different techniques can be applied to all the different pieces of the top layer. 

This is what I created...

I used lots of different products to create different decorative techniques which included DecoArt Premium Acrylic paints, Andy Skinner's new Embossing Enamels - Granite, Funky Cold Patina, Crystal Glaze, stamping, stencilling and decoupage.

I took a selection of different pieces of the top layer and heat embossed them with different embossing enamels then stamped in to the enamel when it was still hot with a rubber stamp to create an impression.

On another selection of pieces I stencilled onto them using different circle pattern stencils with white modelling paste then painted them with DecoArt Premium Acrylics.

On some of the pieces I distressed some old music paper and decoupaged it using PVA glue.

On a couple of the pieces, I covered them with DecoArt texture sand paste and painted over them.

On the rest of the pieces I covered with the embossing enamel and on the biggest piece that I embossed I then stamped on the top of it.

When all the pieces were dry I put them together like a jigsaw to form the guitar shape and glued them on to the MDF base. 

Thanks for popping by my blog,

Toodles for now,
