I
have a lot of found vintage pieces in my studio that usually find their
way into a painting but, often, they make great casts. When I buy them
at flea markets, junk stores or garage sales I try and think of all the
ways I can use them. Here are some examples I made from things I had
lying around. I have not gotten around to cleaning up the edges yet.
SUPPLIES
Found metal objects
Delight or Creative Paperclay®
So
easy. Delight was pressed into vintage religious metal ornamentation.
Because the metal pieces may end of in a painting, I will often make a
silicone cast of it for the future.
I
love this vintage pin. The wings are so beautiful and were easy to
cast. If I had wanted to use the whole pin, I would have made a silicone
cast of it.
A metal charm also makes a great cast.
Anything with wings
Metal frame cast will definitely go into a painting today!
Open your eyes to the possibilities around you!
