Paverpol Covered Canvas

Hi everyone Steph Ackerman here today with a tip on using Paverpol.

I wanted to create a canvas, but unfortunately I was out of Transparent Paverpol.  If you have perused the store you'd see that Paverpol also comes in Black, Gray, Light Fleshtone and Bronze, so there are lots of possibilities.

I had some Light Fleshtone so I poured some into a container then put in some fabric.

I placed the fabric on a canvas and used additional Paverpol to adhere the fabric to the canvas.  I wanted texture so I used the handle of a paint brush to move the fabric around.  It dried within 24 hours with some amazing texture. 

I knew that adding color to a Fleshtone canvas would not yield the results I wanted to I decided to paint the  Paverpol covered canvas with Gesso. 

Once dry, I and began adding colors with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists.  I began by adding some blues.

Letting it dry between colors, I added some copper and reds.

And I even added some green.  Moving the canvas allowed the colors to drip and blend together.

It looks great and I can't wait to decorate.      

In an upcoming post, I will show you what I've done with this canvas.

Creating A Journal With Paverpol

 Creating A Journal With Paverpol

Hiya!

I wanted to share something fun AND quick with you today.

I took a plain old $1 store journal and turned it into

something any one would love to carry around.

This one I created using fabric (for the spine) that had been sitting in

some flesh colored Paverpol for the last few months.

I was scared it would not be fresh enough but there

were no problems. If you keep it in a sealed tight container AND

the fabric is completely submerged then I have had

no problems with it lasting.

This one I used the same fabric BUT decided to try the plaster

I had made using transparent Paverpol and the paverplast on the actual cover.

I turned out better than I thought.

AGAIN make sure when storing your left overs,

do it in a seal tight container.

I have tried some of the $1 store containers and not all

seal the same. I will squeeze them in the store with the lids on and see if

they make noise!

I did not take a lot of pictures on the first journal.

It was a gift I made for our Youth Pastor Rachelle at our church.

 But here are a few...

 

Because the fabric was in flesh color I painted over it in black...

then added some satin finish to it.

The second journal I took a few more pics...

I just smeared it on with a pallet knife and let is dry

for a few hours...

Added the fabric after only this time painted it white.

I didn't like the edge I ended up with so I added some

ribbon to disguise it.

I used metallic paints to go over the plaster and 

again added satin finish on the whole thing for more shine.

I really am thrilled with how both turned out.

My Garden Angel

Hi everyone Steph Ackerman here today with my newest Paverpol project I've called My Garden Angel.

My Garden Angel stands guard in a perfect spot in my garden.

I began by covering the paper mache figure with paper towels that I coated with Transparent Paverpol.  I find the paper towels are a nice way to create texture when creating with Paverpol and paper towels are very forgiving. 

Once she dried, I mixed 2 parts Transparent Paverpol and 1 part Paversand in a container until I had a nice smooth consistency.

I painted a light layer of the mixture on my figure.  Once she dried, I painted on a second layer.  This mixture created a hardened figure that can stay outside.

Next, I used Pavercotton dipped in Transparent Paverpol to create her hair which I wrapped around her face and draped across her torso.  I wanted a whispy look so I pulled and separated the Pavercotton while it was still wet.

I added some Antique Gold Pavercolor to Transparent Paverpol and applied to her hair for some color.

Once she dried, I added a cameo on her chest and some buttons along the bottom edge of her dress.

She now stands guard in my garden.

Thanks for stopping by.
