Hi there!
I've had a very rare moment away from my DT work to do some crafting for myself so thought I'd share it with you here today.
This is an mdf mail box by Crafters Companion that I have first crackled with a layer of acrylic paint, a layer of weathered wood and then a thin top coat of a lighter acrylic paint. I have paint fusioned with acrylic paints.
For those of you not familiar with paint fusion - it's a technique taught by Sheena Douglass but it is the old fashioned way of folk painting. Sheena brings it back to life in the form of rubber stamps that you stamp on to your work for guidance which gives you the images and then you use the folk painting techniques with paint to bring the rubber stamped images to life.

As it is going in to my kitchen to store everyones post as it arrives I thought I'd go with blackberries!
Very relaxing to do and this was a lovely project to complete.
As I have made this for myself and thought it was very pretty and useful, I will enter it into Stamping Sensations challenge this month of "One for the Girls" - well, it was one for me!!!!

Thanks for stopping by,

What very striking colours Leanne and so pleased to see you have definitely mastered the pain fusion technique, I know you were a bit worried about it initially.
ReplyDeleteSuper creation (useful as well) for our 'For the Girls' theme at Stamping Sensations challenge this month.

This is fantastic, Leanne, and so beautifully done! It would make a lovely gift, but I don't blame you for keeping it for yourself! Thanks for sharing it with us at Stamping Sensations.
