Good evening, hope your Saturday has gone well. We have had our Clarity Manchester class today and we used Grunge Paste with the new petite stencils . They were the perfect size for our project...
A Chalk board....
The frame is from Rob , the MDF man and is such a great project. It also doubles up as a notice board. The little pegs are a great way to display notices.
First we dabbed GP through the stencils, then added some embellishments....followed by black Gesso.
The inner MDF had three coats of black board paint. I find that three thin cots are much better than one thick coat.
There are lots of hidden areas to paint, hence team work...
We did have a laugh or too..
Who's been framed ????
When the gesso was dry we added a wash of watered down Inka Gold paint....and the finishing touch was some Gilding wax...
And I even managed to get a photo of some of the finished pieces...
It is amazing how much can be achieved in just a few hours...
Thanks ladies for a wonderful day , your company was just the ticket....so were the mince pies...
And when I got home,,,,poor Tess had followed Eric into a puddle on their walk...
And Tess really doesn't like to be muddy,
Enjoy your evening all
Much love and hugs
Jo. xxxx
