I made 2 ATCs recently for the Non-Paper ATC Swap. You should check out the gallery, everyone was so creative!
My initial plan was to work in clay but after a couple of mishaps I changed gears and made assemblages
And I remembered to take progress shots
Here’s everything adhered to the substrate
I usually tend to have the random bits and bobs more concentrated in the lower right area and then spread things out more toward the upper left
The moon is clay. The only piece that survived.
Normally I spray paint everything in matte black but I wanted to go lighter and brighter and used white
Then it’s just many many layers of paint. I usually do a couple of thin layers if the bases is white then move to dry brushing.
If I spray paint in black and just want to highlight I skip directly to dry brushing.
I also tend to make the lower right darker in color and go lighter toward the upper left.
The last couple of layers are silver acrylic and iridescent medium
