He created a beautiful project for us
Over to Dawid...
My name’s Dawid. I’m from Poland and live in small village in
west part of country. I’m receptionist in old palace in dendrological garden. I
always loved a handicraft. I started as a child when my mom taught me a cross
sticht and crochet. When I finished a studies I discovered a parchment craft
and cardmaking. A little bit time later I started to create in mixed media
technique and it’s my favourite technique today.
My Project
About project:
I love altered things, because even the
broken things and something what looks like a garbage we can change in
something nice and beautiful. I decided to change old can in something
new – container on brushes or pens. I chosen a black color and a little metallic
finish. For main decoration I chosen dragonfly.
Instructions:
1. I took old can. I had a can of peas.
2. I covered all can with two layers black
gesso. Next I mixed black gesso with magic powder getting in this way a black
modelling paste. I added a pattern from stencil with this paste.
3. I added first layer
embellishments. I glued a twine and metallic embellishments. In next step I
covered all with black gesso. On this layer I added next embellishments and I
painted every next element with black gesso.
4. I’ve made three different colors of wax
mixing together clear wax and shiny powders. The last step was to finish the
project by adding waxes in three colors: lustered black, red bronze and shimmer
mauve. I added waxes only on the embellishments which allowed to highlight all
details.”
Thank you Dawid for this beautiful project.
Wish you all the best.
Have a great day!
