Modeling Paste and Gelatos

Saturday, May 11, 2013


 
Since starting my art journal, I have been using so many new products. 
 Two of my favorites have been modeling paste and gelatos.
The modeling paste is wiped on over an inexpensive stencil I bought at Walmart.
If applied in a thin layer, it dries quickly and it leaves a raised image.  With all of my dies, I have been making my own stencils, too, with acetate.
After the modeling paste has dried it can be inked, painted, stamped on, sanded, or water colored like I have here with my gelatos.  Gelatos can be used in so many fun ways.  They come in a little tube like lip balm and can be applied directly to your project and blended dry.  You could add them directly onto your project and then blended with water.  I didn't want big globs of gelato on my project and going directly from the tube to the raised image would have left little chunks so I used a wet brush on the tip of the gelato to pick up color and then brushed it over the modeling paste to create a subtle ombre look.


 
 
Have a great weekend!
