Hello My Crafty Friends,

This is Archana here, Creative designer @craftyscrappers and today I come up with super simple yet beautiful Mixed Media Project that is, Altered Brush.
So without wasting time lets jump into the step by step process.

To create my art, i have @craftyscrappers and Mettalic lustre shimmer paint

and the  amazing Chalkpaints- LYRICAL BIRDY

Chalkpaints- HAZEY CUCUMBER

Craftyscrappers Matt-finish, acrylic chalk paints are ideal for mixed media projects and home-decor.The consistency of these Chalk paints are perfect to use with brushes, rollers and sponges to create textures.Comes in a 120ml bottles which goes a long way when you are using them on your projects.
They can be used on wood, glass, paper, metal and many other materials.
Not just that, they come in 16 gorgeous colors to chose from and you can mix these together to create ombre looks.And above all they are so pocket friendly.

Before i begin with my tutorial, i would also like to share some tips on using these fabulous chalkpaints.

 

 

​HOW TO USE:

• Surface should be clean,and dry and free from dust,wax,moisture  and grease.
  The surface Can also be sanded and wiped clean before application.
  For the base coat, apply one layer of the chalk paint, Let it dry and re-apply again to achieve desired results.
• These paints can be diluted /thinned down to a volume with clean with soft water.
  You can dilute 10% to 20% of paint using water to reduce brush marks.
• Apply multiple layers and spot sand it to give a distressed vintage look to your art project, wall surface or furniture.
• Can be used on wood, glass, paper, metal and many other materials.

Heres the final look of my MIXED MEDIA ALTERED BRUSH

A BRIEF TUTORIAL:

• I took big size brush and on front side I glue down some jigsaw pieces with the help of glue gun.
• In an empty bowl I mixed art stones and PVA glue and apply this mixture on random places, I follow the same process for adding micro beads too.
• Next I wrapped thread around the brush handle to create texture.
• I wanted to create patina effect on brush so once everything dries completely, I covered entire project using Craftyscrappers chalk paints namely “Lyrical birdie” & “Hazey cucumber”. This two shades are perfect to create patina effect .
• I wanted to have rusty look too on this brush so I sprayed Shimmer spray called “Muddy Pool” to do so. I just loved the way my project was involving 😉
  Added “Bronze” Metallic luster Shimmer paint using dry brush technique. This paint has such an awesome shimmer and metallic finish that I just cant resist myself and also colored the project focal point i.e. Dream catcher.
  Glue down the dream catcher on the project and finish this by adding sentiment “Memories”
