This is my project for July over at Rhedd's Creative Spirit. I decided to mage this wall hanging for my bedroom using this trailer heat vent cover that was being discarded.
This is what I started with.
This is what I started with.
I painted my found trailer vent with a cream metal paint, added some stencilling and some modelling paste. My next step was to ink the edges and other parts of the vent with a brown stain.
One I had the frame prepped I sprayed my acrylic letters with a copper paint and added them to the frame. Once I was satisfied with my lettering I added my flowers, gemstones, butterflies and other finding.
