Hello everyone!
Today I would like
to share with you a project I just finished and I must confess it’s one of my
favorites up to now!
Voilà my
Baroque-Style Mirror Panel
I created it by
using one of the left-over doors from my IKEA Brusali High Cabinet, I hacked a
while back – blog post on the way!
For this project,
I drew my inspiration from a wonderful door panel I saw on THE MET Museum’s site.
I have to say that
it was the first time I used my Prima
IOD stamps and moulds and I am totally in love with them!!!
First, I used some
wood putty to fill the holes on the door. Then I sanded the whole panel with a
100 grit sandpaper.
I used air-dry
clay, to create all the decorative elements.
I glued everything
with E6000 glue.
To create the
mirror, I cut a piece of acetate, from a toy box. Then I sprayed three layers
of Pentart Mirror Mist for Plastic.
While the third layer was still wet, I used a piece of kitchen roll paper to
lift some of the paint and create some scratches. I painted those scratches
with Marigold Yellow and Burnt Umber and
when everything was dry, I applied a coat of Chalky Finish Carbon.
I applied Chalky Finish Carbon to the whole
surface, and then I created many layers by applying various color glazes with a
natural sea sponge and working the paint with a flat dry brush. I created the
glazes by mixing Chalky Finish
paints with glazing medium.
At the end I gave
the whole piece a “dirty wash” with a mixture of Media Paynes Grey, Transparent Yellow and Red Iron Oxide.
I sealed my panel
with Americana Decor Soft Touch Varnish.
