Zanzibar Door Shrine

As I said yesterday, I have been busy playing with my supplies, or as others call them my "bidules" (an english translation will come when i can put an hand on a disctionnary).

This morning shopping was short: butcher-deli closed and i went to buy some food for the dog and show Muffin to my vet. On the way back, Muffin was wide awake and wanted to see the road. Ok, maybe not as she is almost blind.

Ben is flying all day today so i have the house for myself. Going to put some of MY music and continue create and finish my homework for Hannah grey (more on this later).

If you have not see Claudine Hellmuth's tutorial on her blog (posted 19 March 2008), run and see it! It is a demo of image transfer using airondack paint dabber. I do not have metal airondack paint here but she said it was ok with non metal paint so I am trying. I have some matalic paint from other brands and I will try! Right now I have one transfer on its way with some Cool peri - I am waiting for it too dry... more later about this experiment.

So, yesterday I played and here it what I done:

I played with acrylic paint to make this wood looking door.

So I started with a blank Die-cut Fancy Door Shrine. Then I used fluid acrylic paint: black paint, Nickel azo gold, Raw umber. The last two are amazing coler are Golden products and are fantastic to use. You can have so many effects using them. Both colors are available there. On top I used a layer of Black asphalt glaze also for Golden paint.

The doorway is made of a transfert of one of my one photos.

At the bottom I used some german gold scrap paper mesh and at the top a mini asian coin.

I used some more raw umber paint for the inside of the door. The backgound sky is made of another of my picture and the little ange reading is taken from a QDD collage sheet.

Being a Hannah Grey Design Team member is so much fun! Hee hee
