Fun With Paverplast!

Let's have some fun with Paverpol's Paverplast!
 

We got to have some fun with 2 Paverpol products that I
have not used before...Paverplast and Paversand.

This month we received a box containing a few items to create with...think of the food
show Chopped...we got Paverpol transparent, the plast, 
sand, some Paver powder and form...then we get to create something using the products.

I chose to cut my form so that I could have a flat back piece.





Mixing 500g of transparent PP and 100g of PP Plast I created a stiff mixture
to cover the form with..I saved an old bucket to mix and store the
compound in.


I wanted to add the sand in as well as some of the PaverColor so
I put it in a smaller container so I could get the consistancy where I wanted it.
The PaverColor turned it gray rather than antique gold...
so I think I messed up adding it in at that point.


I covered the half form with my mixture...since I wanted it to look more like
a dress, I left the long lines in it.


I left it to dry for almost 2 days, then started to paint.
I used 4 different shades of gold. It is hard to get that in a photo but
in person you can see the different shimmers.
After that dried for a half day I added black...wiping most of it off.
 

While the form was drying I started on my canvas.
Taking a 12 x 16 canvas I used PP Cotton and transparent PP
to attach to the canvas.

 
 I used some gold sprays to add some color to the cotton.
Using transparent PP I attached it to the canvas.
The picture of the wings turned out horrible...but using a printed copy of digital
wings with a piece of plastic over it I "drew" the wings with
PP in a bottle and before drying I added glitter and PP Color.
I also added 2 scriptures about Angels.

CAUTION! enter at your own risk!

Hi!

This is my last Halloween post. I swear.

So if you have seen the other projects I have created lately using Paverpol,
you can see why this was the next logical step...
first the hands...then a foot...so it is just a hop to a head!
My husband was worried about this one....


I started out with a foam head...taking a chunk out of it for effect.

I added a strip of material after soaking it in grey Paverpol.
Let it dry for a few day to make sure it would take well.

I soaked a T-shirt in flesh and grey PP.
When I first pulled it out I still had some white patches...so I really
soaked it.

 Around the eyes I had a few air pockets so I did poke a few small holes
to get it to lay flatter.

I started to build up my wound by adding
of cork, bits of mica and paint. Then drew/colored the eyes.

Using the same stuff I worked on the "chopped" of part of the head.
I used cork to make the bone.

I bought some eye lashes and a wig....


 Added lots of paint for my bloody areas and a bit of transparent PP to give it the wet look.

Here is a picture of the hands in use...

Looks really cool with the fog when he had it going. 


Hope you had a spooky and wonderful Halloween!

Paverpol Pumpkin Jars

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with my newest Paverpol project. I am really enjoying working with Paverpol and discovering  the wide variety of projects I can create.  As we head towards Halloween, it's time to start decorating.



I found some Bell Jars and decided to use Paverpol Fleshtone for my project, so I poured some into a plastic bowl.

 
I added some Terracotta Paver Color and mixed it in the Paverpol.
 
 
Next I tore strips of paper and dunked them in the mix.


Pulling the strips of paper from the Paverpol, I removed the excess and wrapped the strips around the jars.  I created texture by leaving some lumps and bumps in the paper as I wrapped the strips around the jars.

 
I continued adding Paverpol until the jars were covered.  Then I used a paint brush to add additional Paverpol around the jars until the jars looked like Terracotta.  I then placed them aside to dry.


I'm loving the texture.  Once dry, I added a bit of black paint to each and then wiped off the excess.  Then I used left over scraps of Makin's Clay® to create faces for the pumpkins.


Finally I glued yarn around the caps and added pumpkin handles created from Makin's Clay®.


These jars are perfect Halloween decorations.


Thanks for stopping by today.

Under The Sea

Hi!
I am going to show you a mermaid
I created using not only Paverpol the hardener but

 I went to visit my sister in Florida a few years ago and
came back with a few pieces of driftwood SOOO when
I thought I would create something with a mermaid
I figured this was the perfect time to use one the wood pieces!

 I actually added some PP to seal it and then sprinkled some
sand on top as well.
Once that dried I started on my mermaid.
I used a thicker wire, wrapped some aluminum foil and masking tape
and then coated her with t-shirt strips dipped in a cambo
(sorry I was making her while watching TV and forgot to get pics of that stage)
Since I had received my container of ART STONE (YEAH!)
I decided to try it out.
I added some grey PP mixed with a bit of red Paver color powder and 
"painted" her tail with it.
While still wet I added the art stone BUT wanted a mix of colors
so I just started dotting and dabbing a few powder Paver Colors.
The only thing I was worried about was once I got it the color I wanted
and the powder mixed in, it still had a dusty feel to it.
So I added transparent PP, but that took some of the pops of color away.


I ended up trying some yarn for hair...gotta work on perfecting that! 
 I think it still turned out pretty cool looking.
Trial and error, that's my middle name!
