Project share / Altered Frame Box 改造相框

    Hello crafty friends, I hope that you all had a great Mother's Day. My mom had a trip to Kenting, which is one of the most popular traveling spots in Taiwan, during the weekend with her siblings. 

    I joined a Facebook group challenge hosted by very talented Meihshia (blog link here) this month. We'll have to create a piece of mixed media, a piece of painting and brush lettering every week. For the first mixed media project, we'll have to make a piece of home decor that uses paints, metals, fabric and paper.

    Here's the project I created. I altered a frame box and turned it into a home decor.

    I started off with painting a coat of white gesso, and then a coat of antique white acrylic paint. After it dried, I used a Tim Holtz's stencil and home-made modeling paste to create some texture on the surface.  After it dried, I painted with blue acrylic paint to add some color and gave it a bit of shabby chic style.

    
    For inside the box, I cut a piece of watercolor cardstock that just fit inside of the box and drew some stripes with pink and blue watercolor.

    To decorate the box, I used metal charms, fabric leaf, paper flowers and leaves, gem, button and felt.

Hope you like this project.

LOVE

Hello, 上個週末是母親節，不知大家是否有給自己和媽媽一個難忘的節日呢？我媽媽和我幾個舅舅阿姨組成一團跑到墾丁去玩了，我反而落了個清閒。(當然是有提前慶祝囉~)於是利用週末來趕作業。

5月份我參加了由Mui在臉書上舉辦的活動，每週要交一份多媒材作品，一份畫畫作品還有最近很夯的英文花體字的練習作業。5月份每週都要交作品，因此這個月會很多采多姿啦~~

第一週的多媒材作品要利用顏料，金屬，布料，紙張等這些東元素來製作一個擺飾，完成的作品可以放在家裏當裝飾品。我選了一個中間挖空還可以打開的木盒來改造。

首先利用白色打底劑(Gesso)將木盒都刷過一遍，乾了之後再刷一層復古白色的壓克力顏料。等顏料也乾了之後，我用型板+自製的塑型膏來增加一些紋路和層次感。這個刷打底劑，顏料和塑型膏等乾燥的過程可以用熱風槍來加速乾燥；我一般都是讓它自然乾，因為製作的過程當中有時候還沒有靈感和明確的想法，所以乾脆慢慢來~~~~  XD

等木盒準備好後，剩下的就是裝飾啦。因為想把這個作品當作擺飾用，所以盒子內側我就簡單的裝飾一下，裁了一張水彩紙用粉色和藍色的水彩畫幾條條紋，然後拿一張書局買得到的小卡貼上去，再用字母刀模切出"Happy"的字母貼上去，然後整張水彩卡黏在盒子底部。水彩卡我沒有黏得很緊，主要是希望以後可以拆下來換其他的內裝。

至於盒子外側，就利用主題要求的一些元素來裝點，最後刷上一點白色壓克力顏料來製造一些輕復古風就完成了。
