Hello!
It is heading towards that spooky time of year so this week on the Tando Creative blog we are thinking about all things spooky!
Autumn is always a time when spiders and cobwebs are seen a lot more, but they are also one of the things I think of when I imagine spooky old places. So for this weeks project I have decorated the Tando cobweb arch including some grey board spiders for extra fear...
I started by preparing all the arch layers with gesso then once I had decided on my layout used sand texture paste on the outer layer for a more aged look. Using texture paste and the mini cobweb stencil I added extra detail onto the back panel of the arch. All the pieces were then painted using fluid acrylics and I used a mixture of colours to create a rusty effect at the front. To bring out extra texture I added gold gilding wax...
To make the spiders appear even more dimensional I dabbed sand texture paste onto them too then painted them black with gold gilding wax added over the top...
I wanted the web to stand out against the background so used a small paintbrush with gilding wax to make it gold. To create even more texture and dimension I used black micro beads and some other larger beads, adhering them mostly amongst the cobweb. A few details were added to the spiders using gold liquid pearls and then to finish I stamped a sentiment from Andy Skinners 'Unexplained' set and blended black soot distress ink over the top.
Here are the products I used:
* Tando Creative - Layered Arch with Cobweb
* Tando Creative - Grab Bag of Spiders
* Tando Creative Mini Stencil - Cobweb
* Andy Skinner Stamp Set - Unexplained
* Decoart Fluid Acrylics
* Decoart Mediums
Thank you for looking and happy crafting!
