Poured Necklace




I really like the way this came together.  OOAK..  The Czech beads glow like fire when the light hits it.    Done in copper findings which are made here in the USA.  I never know how something will turn out which is half the fun.  The pour was one on a ceramic focal.


Bad Pour / Finished Fix


This was a bad pour/swipe with white.  I textured it and although it is pretty ugly...it just might have potential so the journey begins.

This was finished from the first photo using some shedding and highlighting, several stencils, black modeling paste and I had the perfect frame in my stash to bring out the little bit of gold in the pour.
An intuitive piece .....

Color Ful Pour


For whatever in the world reason I painted the canvas orange before I poured.  It fits with my life right now so I can identify with the intuitive aspect of abstract free form art.


Pour with Stencil Face



Last night's art.

The Canvas was a run off dip from a pour.  I liked it but it just wasn't "anything".  I wish the color would show up more.  Varying shades of blue and charcoal.... and I added glitter when the paint was wet and in cure mode.

I just got this stencil Saturday and decided to give it a try using DecoArt Charcoal paint.  It is hard to see exactly where to put the stencil that works best but I am pleased with the result....

The piece shows up a lot more distinct in the photo than in real life..... and I am not sure which I like better ...  It definitely looks dimensional and am afraid if I darken I am going to loose this....

I have a couple of skeleton stencil which might be nice too....and a Ganesh.  I am enjoying the process journey I am on.


Woodland Nights



I love these 3 pours....  I will use these colors again.  The write was thicker so it gave me the bark effect....  Nice to know.


Pour Dip Jewelry

I just finished this one last night.  2" x 2" canvas panel ....  artist grade.
Hand made lamp work beads.
Czech beads
Fishing Lures
Gunmetal black chain.

Pour Dips Matted and Framed



One of my favorite completed pieces....and the frame worked perfectly.

Pour Dip Art with Stencil Overlay



I have never worked with stencils in years but love the way they can enhance a dip pour.  Especially
like the first one that was a total dud until it was stenciled.  

I sell the stencils on my Etsy site and the new Dynasty Duo red handled stencil brushes are WONDERFUL......  Good tools are so important with art.

Pour Dipped Porcelain Necklace



A very simple, but pretty porcelain dip poured necklace done with run off.  I LOVE this part of my pouring session.

I just ordered some more of the porcelain blanks and will be doing some more.

Poured Vases

Pour painting, and all that can be done with the technique, is addicting.  I am a tight painter and this is about the only way I can get loose....

These are the 3 latest vases that I have poured and I am pleased with each one of them.  Each side looks different.  They look so nice with the tiny fairy lights inside.... and the missed areas allow the lights to shine through so it is something I really try to purposefully have happen.




Pours with Stencil Application



Unfortunately not all of my pours turn out the way I want them to so they make great play pieces.
I sell different sizes of stencils in my Etsy shop and haven't had the time to play with them...so last night was my planned play date.

  I love all three of them but especially the one in the middle.  All are  done on 4" x 4" canvas panels.   So far I have not encountered any warping with the smaller board canvas pieces which are my preference over the larger pieces.

My canvas pieces are hand wrapped artist grade canvas boards which are available  in a variety of sizes.  They "pour" so much nicer than the nubby grades.

I also used the new Dynasty Duo stencil brush....AWESOME......  I had some bleeding with the leaf stencil but that was my fault .... I had washed my brush and did not towel dry it well enough before I used it....  Lesson Learned.

It is great to have an alternative choice when a pour is less than desirable ....
