Antique Embroidery Hoop Frame - Photo tutorial

Antique Embroidery Hoop Frame

Greetings!

Hi Everyone... This is Isha Pai, today I am here on Expressions Craft Blog with a very "easy to make" photo tutorial of this beautiful antique embroidery hoop frame.

The best part of this frame is you can keep changing the photos on it, as the photo is attached to a mini wooden clip.

Let's Begin with Photo tutorial:

Step 1: Firstly, I have attached a canvas sheet with a wooden embroidery hoop. Then after attaching, I have applied Immix black heavy gesso all over and also to the chippies (cogs wheel frame, heart dream catcher with star and branches with birds) separately.

*I have used only the star part of the "heart dream catcher with star" chippie.

Step 2: After drying the gesso with heat tool, I have then textured the background by using wave stencil along with the mixture of sprinkle glitz and white gesso.  Later after drying off the background texture, I have pasted hand torn corrugated sheet randomly and all the chippies (Arabesque background frame) with glue gun.

Step 3: Then again I had applied black gesso all over. Also pasted some metal embellistments along with a wooden clip for holding photos. 

Here comes my favorite part "using of Immix metallic paints". 

(i). First I started with Gunmetal Grey

(ii). then a very little Bronze Moon to give rusty effect

(iii). lastly, my all time favorite Ancient Gold

All the above metallic paints were used, using dry brush technique.

Step 4: Then with the help of a toothbrush I have sprayed  Ancient Gold metallic paint on the sides to give dot effects.

Materials used are:

1. Wooden embroidery hoop

2. Canvas sheet

3. Black heavy Gesso

4. Stencil: Wave

5. Frames: Arbesque Background Frame, Cogs wheel frame,

Heart dream catcher with star, Branches with birds

6. Corrugated sheet

7. Metallic Paints: Ancient Gold

Gunmetal Grey

Bronze Moon

8. Sprinkle Glitz mixed with white gesso

I hope you all have loved this photo tutorial... 

And I am hoping to see your creation of such kind of hoop frame either in my way or your own way using the amazing products from https://www.expressionscraft.in 

Love & Peace from Me to You all...

Happy Crafting & Keep Crafting...

Altered Mixed Media Frame

Hola crafty peeps, 

This is Jaishree this side and today I am here with an altered frame with a twist. The twist is that I have used MDF window shutters to create a picture space on the frame itself. 

I have used the newly launched metallics form Expressions Craft Studio. The quality of these paints is just amazing. I loved the fluffy consistency of these colors and the sheen they have is brilliant. They work well on both black and white gesso without loosing the color and sheen. A total of 26 shades have been launched which you can buy from the website here.

I can go on and on about these beautiful colors but for now let's dig in to the project tutorial. 

Step 1 - I covered my window and the frame with IMMIX heavy white gesso.

Step 2 - Using IMMIX texture paste and the newly launched brick stencil add the design around the frame. 

Step 3 - Add some IMMIX crackle texture paste here and there and sprinkle some sprinkle glitz over it for some grungy texture. 

Step 4 - Adhere all the required chipboards and cover them with white gesso. Also adhere the window shutters in its place. 

Step 5 - I used the new launched chalk paint color red cherry wood and covered the brick area as far as possible. 

Step 6 - I highlighted the bricks pattern using the new chalk paint color Military brown

Step 7 - Using the newly launched metallics in the color jungle green I covered all the chipboard branches

Step 8 - Finally add all the flowers around the shutters along with deco art atones. I also in the end used metallic colors mari gold and bronze moon to highlight the window and brick wall texture. 

Here are some detailed pics - 

I hope you liked this mixed media project using the newly launched products from expressions craft. Do tag me in your projects inspired from this one. 

Until next time

Vintage style mixed media kitchen wall decor

Hello crafty friend,

Happy weekend to all, hope u all are enjoying posts from Expressions craft and getting inspired to make beautiful projects.

I am Sabiha Khan back with a Vintage style mixed media Wall decor for your Kitchen...

Lets have a look at my wall decor first...

I have used all newly launched Expressions craft Mixed Media products under the brand name IMMIX.

I would like to share few more close ups of my project...

One step at a time-

1. I took a MDF base for my project.

2. Applied IMMIX heavy black gesso and let it dry.Then took some texture paste and crackle texture paste from IMMIX Expressions craft and applied randomly over my board.

3. To create texture when the texture paste was wet, pressed some jute cloth over it and removed it. You get a fine jute texture on the board.Now let it dry.

4.Took some chippie negatives which were left behind after using the chippies. Cut them into small pieces and adhered them on the board. I have also added some star dangler chippies and few stars too.

5.After I was satisfied with the layout, covered all chippies with heavy black gesso too.

6.After it was dry. Applied IMMIX heavy white gesso all over my layout.

7. Took two wooden spoons and applied black and white gesso too.

8. After the spoons were dry applied some IMMIX crackle paste over them, as you can see in the pics. Coloured the spoons with Sprinkle mists Burnt orange and Chest Nut.

9. I have used three IMMIX Sprinkle Mists to colour my project.

Citrus yellow

Chest Nut

Burnt Orange

10. After I was satisfied with the colours applied some black paint on the edges and randomly all over the textures with my finger to highlight the textures.

11. Finally adhered the spoons on the board and decorated it with Expressions craft sentiment chippie "Favourite Recipes" Few Expressions craft botanical melange shimmer flowers and some satin ribbon bows.

12. And yes, I think the project is never complete without some Deco stones ,I have used mini stones here, a favourite product of all the crafters.

Hope u loved to read my post...
