Here is a great way to up-cycle that old plain frame and give it a shabby vintage look using anaglypta wallpaper.
Glue the wallpaper to the frame, I used Decoart Decoupage.
After a few layers of paint and a final antiquing with Raw Umber this old frame looked so much better.
I am going to be putting a tutorial together on this soon before anyone asks :).

Clean and Simple Canvas
Traditions Acrylic on Canvas.
I wanted to paint a canvas but keep it simple for a change without the use of any mediums, here is the result, lots of fun doing this.

Moving on from Clean and simple here is another using lots of Decoart Mediums, specially loving the crackle on this.

Thanks for reading.

I love this look Andy, I bought some papers like this years ago for crafting, didn't think of using them this way though, you have brilliant ideas xx
ReplyDeleteYour frame is right up my street Andy - grungy, leaves and beautifully vintage. Great photograph too! Love it!

Glad you keep updating Twitter and Pinterest as don't do FB.
ReplyDeleteWallpapers are really versatile liking this a lot. Have you tried using flock wallpapers as they can be very tactile too:-)
