We are sharing a post from Debbie Hayes at MyPatchOfBlueSky.com
One of my absolute favorite pastimes is to get together with artist
friends and shop owners who sell DIY products to play with exciting new
paint and products. Lots of laughs, learning and good memories. And
maybe a glass of wine…
A couple of months ago, a small, energetic group of friends gathered
for a fun day and a half of sharing and hands-on experimentation.
I brought Wood Icing® Textura Paste and Fissure Size, used to crackle the paste, and another artist brought the perfect size small canvases, some Artisan Enhancements foil, Leaf & Foil Size, stencils, and some Chalk Paint®.
With some basic product explanation from us both, we all jumped in and created our own little canvas masterpiece, our own way.
Immediately it was apparent how well everything mixed and matched since it was primarily water-based.
Our artsy retreat reiterated how inventive DIYers can use compatible products to achieve pattern, texture and bling.
Though I now wish I had photographed each piece, I can share mine.
THE RECIPE
• On an artist canvas, roll or brush on Artisan Enhancements Leaf and Foil Size (1 or 2 coats) and let come to tack
• Lay Artisan Enhancements silver foil over the surface and burnish
• Brush on some Florence Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan, leaving open areas. Let dry.
• Place a stencil off-center on the surface. Brush or roll on Wood Icing Fissure Size. Let dry.
• Use Wood Icing Textura Paste with an offset knife and trowel thickly through the same stencil over the Fissure Size. Cracks will result.
• Glaze the entire surface with Wood Icing Mud Pie Furniture Glaze. Wipe with a rag to remove some glaze from the top, pushing glaze into the creases. Let dry.
• Use some SIFF (Southern Institute of Fine Finishing) Empire Gold gilding paste on a finger to lightly accent the stenciled area. Let dry.
Everyone in our group used different Chalk Paint® colors and
foils, but we all agreed that we were excited about the possibilities!
WHAT IS WOOD ICING TEXTURA PASTE AND WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
Textura Paste is a water-based acrylic product, which has the
consistency of peanut butter. Simply spread it with a spatula or trowel.
While wet, you can add impressions and designs with any number of
objects or tools. Use foam rubber stamps, mesh, lace, and numerous other
materials.
You can also apply Textura Paste through a stencil directly onto bare
or unfinished wood. Once it has been stained, it’s difficult to tell
the difference between real carved wood and a Wood Icing design.
