Here we are again for another challenge at The Mirror Crack'd and this month it's Make a Triptych.
Instead of a physical prize this month we would like to offer our Winner a Guest Designer spot for a future challenge.
Do hope you will pop over and join in.
Historically it referred to a set of three associated artistic, literary or musical works intended to be appreciated together.
For this project I decided to use a Wooden Triple Icon as seen below.
I apologise for the number of photographs but wanted to show you how I made this.
I started this project by sanding the Icon lightly and then sealing the wood with Gesso.
Here are the stamp sets I used with this project and the Icon painted with Gesso.
So here we go....
Started by applying Ferro through a Tim Holtz stencil and allowing it to dry. As I will be painting over this the colour doesn't matter.
The Treasure Gold will be used later.
The lettering was applied through a Crafters Workshop stencil using Grunge Paste.
This is probably my all-time favourite and is called Mini Silhouette Script.
From here I covered the Icon with the following paints.
And using this little collection! for the next stage.
This included some areas of crackle.
Next I started to add the Treasure Gold.
If you look at the right hand side, I have started to buff this which makes the Treasure gold nice and shiny.
I then stamped and coloured some of the images from the JOFY stamp sets and finished these by glazing them..
This is the front of the Icon which I decorated in a similar way.
And completed it all by rubbing some of the Treasure gold around the edges.
And here is the finished project.
