Acrylic Pouring and Calico Craft Parts

Hello everyone!

Now I have finally tried out this trend-setting Acrylic Pouring Technique. 

I still had an MDF "&" sign in my inventory and thought "Well, fine...that one has to bite the dust now".

I worked with DecoArt Pouring Medium and the Puddle Pour method.

 That's a simple technique where acrylic paints are layered on top of each other in several ‘puddles’.

 I chose this method because it seemed more suitable for this MDF piece. Flow movements can be controlled a lot better.

 I used only four colours: white, black and Metallic paints 'Copper' and 'Silver' from DecoArt.  

After a longer drying time I examined my attempt....hm...."why not?"...but I still wanted to make something special out of it. Then I saw the new steampunk parts and thought we'd see if we could combine them.

These new amazing wood shapes look like finished collages. I don't know how to make them even more beautiful, because they are already perfect. So I only used a very fine black embossing powder.

Then I added a cut out steampunk lady head together with two feathers,

 a wooden gear and a small light bulb

 I also used black embossing powder for the dial.

 

This beautiful old key was first painted with white crackle paint and after drying covered with Metallic Lustre 'Black Shimmer' (DecoArt) .

the upper edge was stamped

Calico Craft Parts used:

Steampunk Mechanical Cogs Motif Style 22

Roman Numeral Clock Face 

Clover Key MDF Wood Shape

I had a lot of fun trying out this new technique, 

Now it's a very special sign and deserves a place of honour.

Thanks for your visit!

Happy crafting!
