The Outcasts

Introducing to you.. The Excavation!

I have been casting and teaching casting methods for over 12 years now, mainly in the keepsake industry with children's hand and foot prints.
Over the years I have built up a plethora of techniques for doing this, some of which have been used in this wall hanging.

 

Now before I get any hate mail accusing me of working for Satan himself because I have used skulls on this project, I want you to know that these techniques can work just as well with flowers, cuddly bears and fairies etc….. lol

I am very excited to announce that these techniques are going to be part of a brand new online workshop called The Outcasts which will start in September and will be a LIFETIME workshop… Yes you read right… Lifetime!! meaning you get access for life!!  Forum support will only be there for the first 5 weeks, anyone signing up thereafter will get access to everything apart from me annoying them and cracking my whip on the forum :)

 

Details of this new workshop will be released hopefully within the next week.

Have a good day,

Andy

Printing on Tin Foil?

I've been a bit quiet of late on here as I have been busy this past week, The book of secrets workshop has come to an end and I have included a video on the end of this post of the delegates finished pieces, I think after watching you will agree with me that they have all done a fantastic job, and such a great bunch!

I have been experimenting with new techniques, one of which is printing onto tin foil, not quite got it perfected yet but loving the results so far, here is a picture of an A4 print.

Here is a sneak peak of a work in progress from a cast of my hand, this is kind of evolving as I go.

Anway here is the video from The book of secrets workshop, next one starts June 22nd.

Study of a Woman's Head

I have always been drawn to this wonderful image by Leonardo da Vinci which is a Study of a Woman's Head.
I wanted to create the look of worn Fresco on wood and finish it off with Decoart Perfect Crackle.
I have used the Secret Book box for this experiment and am so happy the way it's turned out, although some of it was a very happy mistake… These are always the best techniques!!!
