Hello Creative Friends..
Not being a big social media user I appear to have missed the
boat regarding ATCoins. This display unit I received last October
from That's Crafty! Sadly it remained untouched until recently as the
very day it arrived my Husband was taken ill and suffered a heart attack.
Now on the road to recovery I thought I better make a start and see what all
the fuss was about, i'd hate it to go out of fashion before i'd even started.
Here's what I came up with along with some *How to do's*
Simply slotting the coin ledges into the base, securing with glue I painted
in gesso, added texture paste for detail and coated with crackle glaze.
Aiming for an industrial look where old paint pops and peels I painted over
the crackle glaze with a light coloured paint, touching up those sandy
areas with a colour mix whilst watching that crackle appear.
Preparing the ATCoins in the same way as the display I used That's Crafty stamps
and stencils to create a Botanical theme. Some I painted quite crudely where as
others were given extra detail. The crackle background gives that vintage feel.
Slots within the ledges hold those ATCoins
nice and tight... not a sign of a roll.
Don't they look lovely when displayed together...?
I was so impressed with this I ordered one for myself!
This one is currently on it's way to That's Crafty HQ!
I'm altering one for me now to display some of my little projects..
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and
Thank you as always for stopping by.
Take good care everyone & Stay safe.
