Two Ways to Use Amazing Alterables in Non-Traditional Ways by Tina Walker<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi…<\/span>Tina<\/a> here today with a new project (or two).\u00a0 If you are like me, you LOVE PaperWhimsy Amazing Alterables<\/a>.\u00a0 I am always t<\/span>hinking of new, non-traditional ways to use my products, and PaperWhimsy products are no exception.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, I will show you how to use the same alterable, two different ways.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First up, is a more traditional assemblage type project, but if you look close, I used Amazing Alterables in a new way.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I will walk you through how I created the base of my Faithful Angel.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Step One<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/u>
\nGlue alterables to a scrap piece of chipboard or cardboard.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Step Two<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/u>
\n\u00a0Prepare mold putty (per manufacturers instructions) and mold alterable.\u00a0 Since my mold was flat, I needed to add edges to my mold so I could pour resin and create depth.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Step Three<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/u>
\n\u00a0Make mold with resin (per manufacturers instructions).\u00a0 Once resin is somewhat hardened, remove from mold and trim to shape.\u00a0 Paint as desired.\u00a0 I prepped my surface with black gesso and used spray mists for color.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\u00a0Doesn’t that look fantastic?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Step Four<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
\nAssemble and embellish angel as desired.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Take the glued numeral alterables and adhere them to a wood canvas with matte gel.\u00a0 I applied the gel liberally, letting my palette knife strokes be seen.\u00a0 It adds to the overall texture.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And here’s what it looks like when it is dry.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\"20160517_200526\"<\/div>\n

Prep the entire surface with gesso and allow to dry completely.\u00a0 Color the background with medium of choice.\u00a0 As above, I used spray mists to color.\u00a0 I love how they sink into all the nooks and crannies.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I hope that today I’ve been able to help you think past the typical, traditional way of using Amazing Alterables.\u00a0 I cannot wait to see what you cook up.\u00a0 My head is still spinning with ideas!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
