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.

Fun With Paverplast!

Let's have some fun with Paverpol's Paverplast!

 

We got to have some fun with 2 Paverpol products that I

have not used before...Paverplast and Paversand.

This month we received a box containing a few items to create with...think of the food

show Chopped...we got Paverpol transparent, the plast, 

sand, some Paver powder and form...then we get to create something using the products.

I chose to cut my form so that I could have a flat back piece.

Mixing 500g of transparent PP and 100g of PP Plast I created a stiff mixture

to cover the form with..I saved an old bucket to mix and store the

compound in.

I wanted to add the sand in as well as some of the PaverColor so

I put it in a smaller container so I could get the consistancy where I wanted it.

The PaverColor turned it gray rather than antique gold...

so I think I messed up adding it in at that point.

I covered the half form with my mixture...since I wanted it to look more like

a dress, I left the long lines in it.

I left it to dry for almost 2 days, then started to paint.

I used 4 different shades of gold. It is hard to get that in a photo but

in person you can see the different shimmers.

After that dried for a half day I added black...wiping most of it off.

 

While the form was drying I started on my canvas.

Taking a 12 x 16 canvas I used PP Cotton and transparent PP

to attach to the canvas.

 

 I used some gold sprays to add some color to the cotton.

Using transparent PP I attached it to the canvas.

The picture of the wings turned out horrible...but using a printed copy of digital

wings with a piece of plastic over it I "drew" the wings with

PP in a bottle and before drying I added glitter and PP Color.

I also added 2 scriptures about Angels.

Simple Cuff

This is the most simple project I have made to date with

Paverpol products.

I made a simple cuff...that can be embellished

if I want to.

I started out with a small piece of scrap material...

using a paint brush I added transparent Paverpol to it.

Making sure is was covered all over.

I ended up adding s few extra scraps of material and folding

it up inside.

Honestly I could havemade it a bit bigger but initially I was

going to tie it together or use chain...then changed my mind.

Using a bottle I laid it over it to try to create a shape.

 

But that made it a bit to wide for my wrist so I changed the bottle for some wire.

I really wanted a metallic look so I painted it black and started adding

some gold, bronze and aged bronze paint.

 

Again real simple, yet a fun project to create.

And it doesn't use a lot of product!

A Lighted Angel

Hi!

Today I want to show you an angel I made using 

lace, beads, tulle, masking tape, aluminum foil and lights.

OH and a bit of Paverpol!

 A friend of mine was looking over my shoulder as I was perusing Pinterest..

checking out all the amazing creations that have been made

using the Paverpol product. Upon seeing an angel she asked

if I could do that.

OF COURSE I replied....inside thinking all I can do is try.

I started out with the basics...making a head and torso with aluminum foil

and masking tape.

 This was my first try...

As you can see I added a clay mask to the face.

Looks good right?

Well it was not going to work.

I could not get the arms to go down where I wanted them.

I tried to heat them...which worked a bit but the face started to get melty.

Then I tried to snip under the arms and snipped a bit to far.

So I decided to try to make it in pieces.

The reason I needed the arms together was I wanted her to be holding a

light BUT the bodice of the dress has beads and is thick.

After I attached the bodice piece I added the arms using some Paverpol and

a little piece of wire. I notched the hands in the back so the light could come up behind the skirt 

and attach to the hands.

Kinda got ahead of myself but it all worked together.

So I found a piece of lace I fell in love with...cut it to the size I wanted, sewed the

top to make a gather and then laid it out to be covered in PP.

At this point I also added a layer of tulle to give the underside more

support for the light strand to attach to.

 

I only waited until it started to harden..about 2 and half hours so that it

could be attached to the torso and molded the way I wanted.

I missed a few steps I wanted pictures of...the inside where the lights

were attached and of the wings but we are way passed that now!

This was before the wings and hair were added.

I didn't like the front hang of the skirt so I heated it up,

 then pulled and stretched to get it right.

VIOLA no wrinkle at the bottom!

Have I said how much I love working with this product!

I added the wings and hair using the transparent PP as well.

You can see where the PP has not completely dried on the hair...but once it 

did it looked amazing.

This was my first real try at painting a face...that is 

the only thing I wish turned out better!

She ended up being about 18" tall and has 55 lights.

I may just make one for me!

 

Products I used:

 

 

 

 

Transparent

Flesh

Bronze

 

A Pen Holder

Today I have a pen holder.

I know...simplicity at it's best right?

I am working on a gift that I thought would be finished by now but

NOPE not happening for me lately!

So I decided to make something I need for my desk at work...

a pen cup.

I started with an old bottle (I save everything) and wrapped it with a

plastic baggie...it wasn't tight enough so I added rubber bands.

BIG MISTAKE

I left it to dry upside down over night.

Like I wrote...BIG MISTAKE.

It stuck to the rubber bands and to the baggie so when

I tried to remove the bottle it was not releasing.

NOW here is where my lack of patience comes in..

I basically ripped it out and ripped the material!

Needless to say it is in the garbage.

So this time I started with a cup...something my hands

can get into and man handle!

I took an old pillow case and soaked a few strips in the transparent Paverpol.

laying them over the cup....

Again I left it to dry over night up side down.

I also added a piece of card board to the bottom for stability.

After it dried I cut a vee out of it and added a zipper,

lace and more of the pillow case (AFTER being soaked in transparent PP).

  I also added a strip of material along the top and on the vee. In hindsight I

should have cut less off the top and cut and then curled the material back...next time.

I may add some flowers or whatnot bit not sure yet.

I'll see what it looks like on my desk.

I have to say I am enjoying learning how to create with this amazing product.

It is messy, sticky, and oh so much fun to play with!
