Drawing from modernism and the culture of his Andean heritage, Arzabe makes colorful and dynamic abstractions-paper weavings, paintings, videos-to recover moments of uncanny human interconnectedness. He holds a BS from Carnegie Mellon University, an MS from Arizona State University, and an MFA from UC Berkeley. Be sure to share your photos of this or any project you’re working on in our Amy Latta & Friends Facebook group so we can all be inspired. If you try this at home, I’d love to see your results. Take a peek at the nine different results we got when each of the Plaid Creators made them. One of the best parts about this project is how different and unique it turns out every time! The marbling will always have a one-of-a-kind look, and your choice of colors will completely change the effect. The Glitterific will act as your glue, and when it dries, your crystals will stay in place.Īllow the entire piece to dry completely, then it’s ready to display in your home!
You can use a paint brush, but I personally prefer to use a spatula or plastic knife. Glitterific paint is very thick, and you want total glitter coverage, so think of spreading it on more like cake frosting than traditional paint. Make sure the marbled area is dry to the touch before moving on to this step. Step 4: Apply FolkArt Glitterific to the un-marbled part of the canvas. Spoon the coated salt onto wax paper to dry. Then, add 5 parts Rock Salt to the glitter/Mod Podge mixture and stir until the salt is completely coated. Mix together equal parts Mod Podge and loose glitter in a bowl, stirring until well blended. While it dries, you’ll move on to the next step! Step 3: Make your glittered Rock Salt Crystals. Remember to leave part of the canvas un-marbled for the glitter section. Gently tilt it in various directions to allow the paint to flow and cover the area where you want it. Then, pour the contents of the cup directly onto your canvas. The larger your canvas, the more paint you’ll need. Continue to layer the colors in any order you want until your cup is about half to three-quarters full. To do the “dirty pour,” simply squeeze each of your colors into a cup, letting them pile on top of each other. You can squeeze it directly onto your surface, like I did with my Marbled Flowerpots, or you can do a “dirty pour” method like I did for my Marbled Monogram and for this canvas. This paint is super-easy to use you’re going to love it if you haven’t tried it yet! The paint is already mixed with the marbling medium, so it’s ready to use right out of the bottle. Step 2: Apply FolkArt Marbling Paint to about 3/4 of the surface of your canvas. Keep in mind that you will be able to see some of this around the edges of your finished project. Ours was done in FolkArt Brushed Metal Gold, but you can use any metallic or other color you like. Ready to craft? Let’s get started! Step 1: Base coat your canvas. They’re sparkly, colorful, and really fun to make! Here’s how easy it is to create your own: You’ll need: It’s especially fun because it’s mixed media and gave us an opportunity to play with several different craft supplies in order to create gorgeous Faux Geode Canvases. Friends, I have been anxiously waiting to show you one of my favorite projects I created when I visited Plaid Crafts Headquarters for our Creators Summit this year.
