Mod Podge, Cabinets and Specialty Paper

Cabinets that I found on a curbside pick-up

they are in nice shape
had all the original hardware



mod podge black paper

front and sides

I used a lot of it- to soak in
press on the specialty paper as i went- did it in sections
just after application- It forms into the contours beautifully,
The more modge podge you use the better
dried the paper became slightly transparent in spots
Close up of handle and that transparency
finished cabinet- Sorry for the bad picture quality

How to make a screen print- could be used on virtually any surface

I saw someone use this method online to put little hearts on her t-shirt, so i thought I'd give it a try

Mod Podge and an embroidery hoop
on the embroidery hoop is panty hoes with the mod podge already applied and dried
scroll to the end to see that process

this is a small dragon design that I made earlier

apply paint- if you are doing this for a t-shirt make sure its not a paint that will wash off

surround the design

pat the paint around

then smear some off

slowly pull up

...slowly...

TA-DA!
My dragon is a little rough because the material wasn't tight enough on the hoop

here are all the tries I did

Ok since i didn't show how i applied the mod podge here is a different design showing how


draw a design onto the stretched panty hoes- i drew mine on paper first then copied it over


as you paint on the mod podge let your line show

Let first coat dry

then go back and fill in all the tiny holes

I havnt used this design for any thing just yet-
 but I promise that when I do They will be up the very next day

ORANGE JUICE!

Orange Juice is my fav drink- so I made this display- last one for the night

Enjoy

Camper Shadowbox Design


Ok so this design is a shadowbox that is very large so that people can walk around the display and see the various items they could buy for a camp-out or backyard bonfire

layout of display- and labels of what all it could sell ( s'mores items)

some sketches of the animals and a small list of what it could be used to sell

drawing of the box

this is kind-of difficult to understand, but its the design for the fire
its a fan w light fabric and ribbon, theres a light, and it would lay on little risers
this would add a little eye catching movement to the display







Halloween aisle design


 Ok, so i have been working on some advertising concepts because of a recent job interview, I figure that if i start working a little bit on it ill understand the job a little more, I dont know if my logic is all there but, this is some of what i have started



enter sign- would be a bit more scary and less anthropomorphic-like art style

what it would look like walking down the aisle to the candy section
(the eyeballs are balloons.. ive seen them on sale at giant eagle)

stand alone shelf, nearby

inside the haunted aisle, along the side


First Time With Wood Burner


It's actually surprisingly difficult to use a wood burner, it wants to just go along with the grain, This was just a bit of scrap wood I found along side the road in southside, next time I want to get a better bit of wood something better sanded and less grainy. If anyone has any tips or tricks please let me know
