Hummingbird Canvas by Steph Ackerman |
Do you have an item you wish you could recreate? My mother had a hummingbird magnet that I loved. So I decided to create a mold of the magnet and then use Makin's Clay® to create my own hummingbird.
Supplies:
Makin's Clay® - White
Imagine Fireworks! Sprays
The Crafter's Workshop Stencils
Amazing Mold Putty
Amazing Mold Putty
Canvas
Molding Paste
I used white Makin's Clay® in the mold. Don't you love all the details it picked up from the mold?
Because I wanted to paint my hummingbird in assorted colors, I let the hummingbird piece dry for several hours.
Using assorted Fireworks! from Imagine, I started by painting the lighter colors on my mold. Once the mold dried, I painted additional darker colors. Once it was painted, I placed it aside to work on the canvas.
To prepare the canvas, I first painted it with black gesso. I wanted the colors I used to really stand out. Next, I used a word stencil with Imagine's Creative Medium in Gold to add "Imagine" to the bottom of the canvas.
Next, I placed a floral stencil above the word and used molding paste for dimension. I also placed this aside to dry completely.
Once the molding paste was dry, I masked off the lower portion of the canvas. Then I put the stencil back in place and added colors using Fireworks! sprays.
Thanks for stopping by.
