CREATING WITH POLLISHED PIGMENTS - STAGE 3

PIGMENT POWDERS AND USING PVA GLUE

For this technqiue you will need:
black gloss card
pigment powders ( couple of colours)
PVA glue (not included in kit)
template/ chipshape


STEP 1

  • Trace your template backwards
  • Trace onto the back of your black gloss card


STEP 2


  • Place PVA glue over the top of the black gloss card
  • Make sure it isn’t too much but more than just a coating
  • Cover the entire letter


STEP 3


  • Using a dry paint brush
  • Sprinkle your pigment powder over the top of the PVA glue
  • You may like to flick your brush occasionally to use all the powder in the brush


STEP 4


  • Using your paint brush
  • Dab the powders using your brush
  • This is so the powders will stay into the PVA glue

STEP 5


  • Turn your heat gun on
  • Heat the powder
  • This will set the powder and also allow the PVA to rise a little and bubble, leaving wrinkles as a texture


Hope you enjoyed this technique. Please feel free to leave a comment or email me.
