Santa is one busy fellow, but he always has time to share a moment with a Northwoods friend. I am so happy to share this Christmas project with you. It can be a simple decoration or an ornament for a large tree. This pocket watch frame is a perfect project to try your hand at replicating faux wood finishes like birch, red cherry and northern red oak Distressing paper tags is easy and creates another vintagelooking finish with chalk lettering completed with white chalk and black charcoal pencils.

Judy’s most recent work is a mix of painting, unusual background textures and papers, embellishment and a variety of other experimentation. Her work is strongly influenced by nature, anything vintage, antique or repurposed.

Helpful Hints: Base areas using a flat or filbert brush appropriate for the size of each area. Basecoat with several coats of paint.

Allow to dry thoroughly between each coat. When painting faces, base the face opaquely and allow it to dry. Reapply the details and coat the face with extender using the IPC large flat blend brush.

Use angular brushes and filberts to apply shadows and highlights depending on their locations. Use mop brushes to soften areas. Use Glazing Medium to protect dried areas that you wish to continue painting later.

Apply up to 3 coats of Glazing Medium to an area in a 24 hour period, drying thoroughly before re-applying Extender & Blending Medium.

into a ball, then open it up. Lay the slightly crumpled wrap on top of the wet glaze. Gently press the plastic wrap onto the surface.

Carefully remove plastic wrap.

While the glaze is wet, wipe out small horizontal lines using the chisel edge of a #12 flat shader brush. Allow to dry thoroughly.

Trace and transfer the design basics to the surface using white graphite paper.

Distressing Tags:

Brew a strong tea using 3 teabags to 2 cups hot water. Immerse the teabags into the hot, brewed tea and allow to soak until a desired color is achieved. Remove the teabags and submerge the tags into the tea solution. Soak the tags until the desired color is achieved. Remove and allow to dry overnight or dry the tags on a baking sheet in a warm oven (200 degrees) until they start to dry.

Preparation:

Seal all wood pieces with MultiSurface Sealer. Dry thoroughly.

Lightly sand and wipe clean.

Transfer the basic shapes to the panel and frame. Basecoat the loop and stem at the top of the main panel with Antique Gold.

Base coat the outer circle with Rookwood Red and the inner circle with Winter Blue. Basecoat the frame with Asphaltum + Lamp Black (4:1).Allow to dry.

Apply a plastic wrap finish to the loop and stem. Mix a glaze of Raw Sienna + Burnt Sienna + Extender (2:2:1). Use the Large Flat Blend brush to apply a thin coat of Extender to the loop and stem, then apply the glaze mixture to the area using the 3/4” flat wash brush.

Crumple a piece of plastic wrap October 2016 Issue

Remove the tags and allow to cool.

If more aging is desired when the tags are dry, press a hot warm teabag randomly onto the tag and allow to dry thoroughly. If you wish to distress a lot of tags, double the amount of tea and hot water.

Painting Techniques:

• Base areas using a flat brush appropriate for the size of the area.

• When painting faces, I base the face opaquely and allow it to dry. Reapply the details and coat the face with extender.

• Use angular brushes and filberts to apply shadows and highlights depending on their locations.

• Use mop brushes to soften areas.

Use round Decorator Dry Brushes to dry brush.

Pick a very small amount of paint onto a dry brush.

Lightly whisk the brush in a circular motion on the surface allowing a small amount of paint to adhere. Do not rinse the brush in water until drybrushing is completed.

• Use Glazing Medium to protect dried areas that you wish to continue painting later.

About Kim

I was born in British Columbia, Canada and reside now with my family in Vernon, BC.

My love for decorative painting began in the front store window of a decorative painting shop.

Window shopping became browsing, browsing became shopping, shopping became painting, and so the story goes!

I have 8 books published to date, and I have also been published in a wide range of magazine articles over the years and have had the honor of being published in the 100 Angels collection of hand-painted angels presented

by The National Museum of Decorative Painting.

I currently teach at my home studio from time to time and various other places at home and abroad.

Making $$$ With Your Art: Part 2

by Thelma Hamilton

Choosing a perfect business name is said to be the single most important step to starting any business off on the right foot.

There are companies out there that get paid thousands of dollars to come up with the perfect name for a business.

So you want to start a business and sell your Art. The very first thing you need to do is come up with a name for your business, which is otherwise known as your DBA or Doing Business As.

Why is the name you choose for your business so important? Your name can bring you business or drive it away. There are a few things to think about before you decide upon the name that you will call your business.

A good name lets anyone who hears it know what your business is all about.

However, the basics for choosing a perfect business name are pretty much universal. So let’s get started creating your business name!

First take out a notebook and list all the business names that already exist that you like. Look at each one. Why do you like those names? What is it about them that stands out to you?

As you think over the list, what other names or words come to mind? Write down every word that comes to mind.

What makes your company unique? Keep adding to the list of names as you think about your product or service.

Once you have a list of names written down, grab a thesaurus book or Google

thesaurus on your computer, to see what synonyms there are for your favorite words.

Now that you have a list of words, choose two or three and mix them up to see if anything strikes a chord with you.

Nothing yet, well don’t rule out a play on your name. If your last name is Lane, Painters Lane might be a good consideration.

What about “your name. com”? Your-name Designs, Your-name Art Studio, Yourname Designer? All of these suggestions are just one more way to get to the perfect name for your painting business.

Another suggestion is gathering a group of friends or family and toss together names that everyone agrees on. I personally don’t recommend this process, as everyone has a different viewpoint and they might not be coming from the same place as you.

While you are choosing names and putting words together there are a few other thoughts to keep in mind.

might conjure up a visual of smelly and dirty shoes.

Be sure your business name is memorable.

Your business name should reflect your art or what you do with it.

A combination of letters that are jumbled up would not be very memorable and as unique as your art.

Do you design, paint, colored pencil, collage, mixed media, create, studio time, art, stencil?

Your business name should be easy to spell.

There are business names that I google often that I just can’t seem to remember the spelling as they are very unusual. I have finally written them down in a notebook so I can remember them.

When you are finished picking out your perfect business name, run through this checklist to make sure it passes these tests:

You don’t want people to have to search too hard to find you.

Another thought is to create a name that has a visual memory attached to it. One of our favorite places to go in the summer is the Custard Cottage. Can you guess what we do there? They are only open in the summer ~ hence the word Cottage and they serve the most wonderful Custard Ice Cream. You get a visual just saying the name.

Is it short and simple ~ easy to remember and easy to share?

Is it easy to pronounce?

Choose a name that will not be an accidental negative.

You might love the name “Dirty Sneakers”. They imply to you that you have worked hard and are very active. However, to someone else that name

Have you checked the internet to see if your new business name is available to purchase as a domain name? (You can do this at GoDaddy.com) Will it LOOK good on your business card, a business sign or in advertising?

About Karen

I have loved art since I was a very young child. I remember getting an art set from Santa when I was 8, that was the beginning. I always wanted to be a cartoonist, so my style of painting is usually whimsical, but I still paint other styles when the mood hits. I travel teach but have spent most of my teaching time in Italy, which is now my second home with lots of people I love very much.

I have authored many books, patterns and magazine articles.

Just when I think my creative mind is sucked dry, it starts in again!

I love sharing the love of painting with everyone I can.

To float a wash of color, wet surface. Then load brush with more paint than used for shading and apply in the same manner.

Use mop or cotton swab to blend. Let dry, and then paint other parts of the design. I work from top to bottom so I never run into a wet paint area.

Helpful Hints:

I clean the mop brush as I use it by lightly scrubbing it on a damp paper towel, and then drying it on my pant leg. This way it’s always clean and dry.

Using Brush ’n Blend Extender in place of water, dip 3/4 flat wash brush in and work it into the bristles. Then dip brush into Honey Brown and load for a float. Shade around outside of design areas.

Water down Honey Brown paint to an ink consistency, dip toothbrush into it, and splatter background area by pulling your finger down the brush bristles.

Once background is dry, apply two coats of Light Buttermilk over entire design area (dry between coats).

Transfer basic design lines onto surfaces using stylus’s small end and transfer paper. Transfer detail lines as needed (use light transfer paper for rusty star).

Use soft brushes when base coating in enamels. Paint with a very light touch. Water is your worst enemy - blot brush on paper towel before loading paint.

Miscellaneous Supplies: • Rubbing Alcohol • White Graphite Paper • Paper Towels • Water Bin • Palette Paper • E6000® Glue

Preparation:

Wipe top of glass pendant with rubbing alcohol to remove oils.

I owned my own Tole shop for several years and been teaching for 32 years. Now I teach out of my home studio and Exhibit at painting conventions and do travel teaching.

I started painting in Enamels about 7 years ago when I decided I was going to start selling my work at Boutiques and Art shows.

I now travel with my husband several times a month up and down the West Coast selling my Painting.

Painting is my passion and I just love to paint!

About Chris

The Andy Griffith Show and Bewitched are the two TV shows I recall from my childhood. With only three stations to select on our black and white TV, I spent most of my time playing with crafts. My older sister was an oil painter and I drooled over her supplies and talents. In college I majored in Fine Art (Oil Painting), but soon found out that making a living by selling oil paintings was not all fun and games.

After the pitter patter of little feet went to school (BTW, oil and kids do not mix for me), I discovered the wonderful world of acrylic. I have been an addict ever since!

My background in art continually encourages me to try new and exciting paints, mediums and techniques. I absolutely love what I do and feel very blessed that I am able to design and share my wonderful world of art.

Preparation:

Using large specialty sponge, seal surface with Multi-Purpose Sealer and lightly sand.

Painting Instructions: General Stamping Instructions: Instead of tracing a pattern, the design is created by stamping the images.

Attach selected cling stamp to acrylic handle. Load large specialty sponge with Payne’s Grey, tapping on palette to disperse paint evenly across the bottom. Apply paint evenly over stamp, position stamp and press to imprint. Too much paint will cause the image to be blurry, while not enough will result in an incomplete stamping.

Reapply paint after each stamping.

All of the stamping is done using Payne’s Grey for all except pinecone, which is Burnt Umber.

Stamp the holly, poinsettia and pinecone images first for placement. The pine branches are added around these as desired to fill in the background. (Figure 1)

The Art of Collaboration

by Tracy Weinzapfel

collaboration versus competition and found this industry is big enough for us all! The decorative painting world is full of amazing pattern makers, brush stroke geniuses, and business people.

Tracy Weinzapfel owns and operates her own art studio, Tracy Weinzapfel Studios. She works as a fulltime licensed Mixed Media Artist who hosts a show on the internet called Mixed Media Monday and teaches art workshops across the US and beyond.

Tracy is happiest in her studio painting and living life with a creative edge. Her greatest joy is sharing and teaching her passion for art and everything colorful.

I’ve been so fortunate to work with some amazing artists in the industry who’ve only made me a better artist. Years ago, I developed the motto of October 2016 Issue

You can see a time lapse of the entire project on my blog!

Maureen Baker is one such artist who I’m honored I’ve had the opportunity to befriend.

I love her work. But her art isn’t in my comfort zone.

When I asked if I could work with one of her patterns in my own “Tracy” style, she didn’t hesitate.

She was on board and sent one right over. I took her pattern and painted this 12 X 12 wood piece.

Here’s Maureen’s original:

I’ve also had the pleasure of collaborating with mixed media artist Andy Skinner, whose style couldn’t be further from mine.

His style tends to be industrial, dark pieces; with mine, you need sunglasses to protect you from the bright, vivid colors.

Dare to Create Challenges were born in January 2015, and we’ve since had five of them. We now challenge you to join us:

Sure, I wish I knew all those fancy brush strokes and commend everyone who hones those skills.

But I won’t let that steer me away from my art and inspiring others. I may not be the next Bob Ross, but my goal is to inspire people to pick up that paintbrush, and who knows… maybe they’ll be the next Bob Ross.

Collaborating with my fellow artists is one way I stretch myself creatively to improve my own skills and be the best artist I can. I’m thankful for those collaborations versus the stress of competing.

Can you imagine the great art that will come from more of that? Now who wants to collaborate with me next?

About Theresa

I have lived along the Connecticut coastline all my life. I love New England’s four distinct seasons and the beauty they bring.I love to travel and I incorporate those sights and my life’s experiences into landscape,seascape,and yesteryear’s paintings.

I also enjoy the festivities and costumes of Halloween.

Using my imagination I create whimsical scenes of children with a playful background.

DO

My #1 tip is “Don’t Rush the Brush!”

My #2 tip is baby wipes will erase any mistakes!

Enamel paints are thicker than basic acrylics and you need to apply them differently. Apply using a gentle daubing and patting motion, and then smooth with brush. You’ll have generous amounts of paint on your brush.

Soft, natural hair brushes allow you to apply more paint in one stroke and create a smooth coverage.

Be patient and let paint dry well before proceeding. Let it dry naturally instead of using a hair dryer to speed drying time.

Spray sealer in a wellventilated room or outdoors. Spray several coats using a light mist of spray each time, standing about 12” from surface.

Baking makes the paint durable, but isn’t necessary. If you choose to do so, or to paint this design on a dish or glass, I suggest you bake it in a cold oven at 275°F for 20 minutes, turn the oven off and let cool, and then apply the glue, Epsom salt, glitter, and Liquid Glass.

Place tracing on ornament at 1” mark and tape to secure with painter’s tape.

Slide a piece of graphite paper beneath tracing and, using a stylus, trace major lines only. You’ll free-hand much of the painting. (Figure 4)

Figure 3

Remove ornament’s cap/ hanger. Pour mixture into ornament and swirl around to cover inside completely. The ornament will now be blue. (Figure 1)

Turn ornament upside down and let excess mixture drip out. This may take time, so while it empties, you can begin to trace the pattern for painting using tracing paper and a black permanent marker.

When you think there’s no more excess mixture in ornament, use baby wipe to clean it’s mouth.

In case there’s some left, tape opening with a piece of painter’s tape. The inside will still need time to dry, but you can begin to paint the design. (Figure 2) Using paper tape ruler, randomly mark

Turn ornament over in your hand and, using 1” round and Hauser Dark Green, pull out some tiny wiggly and pointy trees from the land and mountain areas.

Take your time; look at where you want to place them.

Now do this again and add lighter trees. Look at where you want to place them using Festive Green and Foliage Green.

This is your forest, so paint as many or few as you like. Dry.

Finishing

NOW is the time to bake it, if you so choose. Let cool before proceeding.

Mix 1 part Epsom salt with 2 parts iridescent glitter in a Styrofoam® cup, equaling about 1/3 cup total.

Spread 9/10 of it on a Styrofoam plate, reserving the rest for later.

Insert hanger back into ornament and hang ornament where you can spray it. (Make sure to hang it - DO NOT insert anything into it because you’ll scratch the inside paint.) Spray with sealer. Dry. Put a generous amount of Tacky Glue into a Styrofoam cup. Dip moistened 1/3 dauber into it

Did you know that colors are also perceived differently between genders?

In a poll asking “What’s your favorite color?” the results were colors like sea green, yellow, and blue. Can you guess which gender chose which color?

Women chose sea green and yellow, men chose blue. Men see color differently than women. No big surprise, right?

Can you guess which color neither gender typically favors?

Orange. It’s the least-liked color according to some studies. It is a very strong color. Some studies say that orange can evoke impatience and restlessness.

Here is a tidbit from the study of colors: yellow is a wonderful cheery color, right? Well, statistically yellow makes babies cry. It’s a bright and strong color.

We know that colors draw out different feelings in men and women.

But, did you know it also varies between the ages? A color, like yellow, has a different meaning to women 45-64 years old than to young ladies of 13-22 years old.

It’s just different demographics, different ages. That’s why it’s super important to know whom you’re designing or painting for.

If you look at a rainbow, red it the strongest and longest ray in the spectrum.

Other strong colors include yellow and orange. In the middle, you’ll find the color green, which conjures a calming, balancing sensation.

The cooler colors, violet and blue, have less intensity and are shorter in length.

This chart shows the colors and some of the emotions they emit (Courtesy of Jonathan Tripp, www.jonathantripp.com).

You can find more graphics like this one by doing an online search on “the meaning of color.”

So, we’ve learned that color is perceived differently between genders and age groups.

Did you also know that it differs between cultures?

People of different cultures and nationalities have different views on colors.

For instance, ancient Egyptians used a lot of warm colors in their lives, as they placed great importance on the sun.

China reserved the color gold for the emperor’s personal use. Gold is associated with wealth and power.

Ancient Greece was very much in love with emerald green and peacock blue. It’s said that they favored these colors because the sea influenced them.

Why is this information so important? If you’re a designer, you need to think of your target

Clearly, if you’re designing a piece for a man, you’re dominant color is not likely going to be purple or pink. You may perhaps choose blues, greens, or even earth tones.

For more information on color, here are a couple of books to read:

Helpful Hints:

When using the steel Dreamweaver Stencils, always work on a hard, flat surface and keep the stencil flush against the surface.

This prevents it from bending the stencil and allowing the paste to bleed or smear.

Lay the top ornament over the front of the rear ornament.

Figure 1

When using the Embossing Paste on the metal stencils, it’s important to work quickly, because the paste sets up in 2040 minutes. Tape out the edges well with removable tape.

Pick up the paste on the bottom of the metal palette knife and smooth over the stencil’s cut out areas, as if applying icing to a cake. Scrape off the excess paste until you’ve filled all the holes evenly and the stencil surface is smooth.

Figure 2

Immediately take off the tape and pick up the stencil, lifting it off as one would open a book.

Don’t bend the stencil.

It’s important to clean the stencil immediately, so drop it into a pan of water until you have time to scrub it with an old toothbrush.

Dreamweaver® Stencils

While artists have been using stencils for centuries, Dreamweaver Stencils products really stand out from the others.

Lynell Harlow founded this company, which Stampendous® bought two years ago. Her exploration of the art of stenciling and embossing began in the mid-1980s. She licensed her first designs to be made into brass stencils in 1991; a few years later, Dreamweaver Stencils was born.

The stencils are now made of a high quality steel, which makes them more versatile than plastic stencils. The benefit of the steel stencil is that it won’t move or bend during the painting process, making the dry brush stenciling technique much easier to achieve.

You can use these stencils with misters, inks, and pastes to create interest within designs.

You can also use them to emboss paper by running it through a cutting machine, such as a Big Shot. You can October 2016 Issue

then decoupage the embossed paper onto a painting project.

Dreamweaver also has many tools made from the same quality steel to create a variety of techniques. One versatile tool is the Picasso Shield Tool.

You can use this handy tool for tons of stenciling techniques. Use its various points and edges to mask off unwanted areas of a design on a stencil.

Use the holes as a mask to stencil eyes, berries, or details to stems, leaves, and other parts of images. The curved edges are perfect for creating clouds or snowy hills.

They have their own line of stencil brushes as well.

iridescent powders, fine glitters, or metallic liquid acrylic paints to create infinite effects.

The Metallic colors are very interesting as they are dull in color while wet, then dry to a true silver, gold, and copper.

Dreamweaver also has a line of Embossing Pastes, which are different from other pastes on the market. They can be heat set with an embossing gun or allowed to air dry. The pastes come in Glossy White, Matte White, Glossy Black, Matte Black, Pearlescent, Translucent, Crackle, and three Metallic colors.

When using the steel Dreamweaver Stencils, always work on a hard, flat surface and keep the stencil flush against the surface. This prevents brush from bending the stencil and allowing the paste to bleed or smear.

Pick up the paste on the bottom of the metal palette knife and smooth over the stencil’s cut out areas, as if applying icing to a cake.

Scrape off the excess paste until all the holes are filled evenly and the stencil surface is smooth.

These brushes stand up to the scrubbing of the dry brush stenciling technique because they’re made from high quality hog hairs. These hairs are cut from the ends; therefore, they reshape themselves, so there are rarely hairs that splay out from the brush.

The Translucent Embossing Paste is unique in that it’s applied in the same way as regular paste and is white, but dries to a glossy, transparent finish.

Therefore, you can use it with

About Judy

I was introduced to Decorative painting in 1975. Very soon after that I was teaching classes in my home. This I did for the next twenty or more years.

During this time, I did teach at the National Conventions and at HOOT. In 1994 I teamed up with Lynne Deptula to form “Distinctive Brushstrokes”.

We have published over 300 pattern packets and 40 books.

Tools of the Trade

by Margaret Riley

own if you need an odd or huge size. You can buy stretcher bars and cover them with cloth.

Are you totally confused when you walk down the aisle with the paint supplies waving at you saying, “Buy me! Buy me!”? The bigbox stores don’t have the selection of fun tools like fine arts stores.

But as a decorative painter, you really don’t need every tool.

I took many classes, and every instructor showed something they used and loved. Well, of course I had to have each one. But as time went on, I figured out which tools I would use the most.

I’m sure you all know what a canvas is. You can make your October 2016 Issue

I like duck cloth. RocLon® is a great drapery liner fabric to use; you don’t have to gesso before painting on it. But if you use any type of fabric over stretcher bars, it’s best to apply gesso before starting your masterpiece. Or you can use canvas board, canvas paper, or Masonite that’s treated with gesso.

It has a small ballpoint on the end of the metal tip that you can dip into paint to create dip-dots.

Some styluses have a ball tip on each end and come in various sizes. A stylus is a definite must-have.

Painting with acrylics requires something to rinse out your brushes in.

Some people use cups (like coffee cups), but I prefer a brush basin. It’s a square, hard-plastic container with two or three sections for water.

Canvases are only the start of your surfaces to paint on.

Be imaginative, but chose the correct brushes and paint for whatever surface you decide on.

I’m not going into brushes or paints in this article, but I will inform you of some handy tools to have, starting with a stylus.

What a great tool to use to trace patterns onto surfaces!

One section has rows of plastic to run your brush across to help remove paint.

In the other section(s) are indentations to lay your brush on. (We all know you don’t keep your acrylicfilled brush standing in water... right?)

I have a brush basin for acrylics and one for oil painting (to use oil painting brush cleaning solvents in, never mix up those supplies!).

Invest in a metal ruler with a cork on the back. The cork

Something that isn’t always in the fine art painting aisle is a spray bottle. Very nice for when you have acrylic paint out on a palette. A mist of water now and then keeps your paint puddle moistened, slowing the drying time on your palette and eliminating a film forming on your paint. I have a pocket-size spray bottle to take to classes.

If you use tube acrylics or oil paints, it’s wise to invest in a Tube-Wringer®. It isn’t too expensive, but is a handy gadget to squeeze every bit of paint out of the tube. And it helps put all the paint into one area, inhibiting it from drying out quickly within the tube. Think seriously about buying one of these if you use tube paints.

raises the ruler up off the surface, keeping marker lines from bleeding in under the ruler. A great invention!

For years, I put layers of masking tape on my ruler to keep it off my surface.

If you use squeeze bottle paints, it can be difficult at times to get the tops to flip open. And if you have arthritis in your hands, it’s a challenge to open them.

some of theirs to decide which works best for you.

I also have a clear ruler, which is good for pencil line drawing.

A brush holder is a nice investment. I have the Multi Bin® holder. I’m always sure my brushes are completely dry before I place them into it (always handles down).

Painting, or palette, knives are hard to be informative on as there are many on the market. There are rounded ends, square ends, pointed ends, and various other shapes.

Brush holders come in different sizes. Some have room for a dozen brushes and some hold up to a hundred.

We have wonderful information on the internet. You can view the tool you’re questioning; if you know it’s name, just type it into a search engine and visit the sites that come up.

YouTube also shows some instructions on how to use various tools. Just seek and find on the internet.

I chose three that would be multi-purpose for the task instructed. And I have a disposable one to use with mediums that would damage a metal knife.

Ask some painting friends what they use, or try

I also have a brush holder that rolls up for easy brush transportation to a class or painting location.

Before purchasing one, count how many brushes you own or the average amount you need to transport.

There are many tools on the market, and I only touched on a few… mainly the ones you really need to get started. If you’re a seasoned painter, you probably have enough tools/gadgets to supply an art store aisle. But as long as you enjoy painting and creating, that’s all that counts!

This 8” long sophisticated bobble ornament is a fun paint craft. You can add or subtract as many beads and shapes as you like!

There’s little preparation, because we DecouPage™ most of the wood surface. But it will take a little shading, floating, stenciling, and splattering with Dazzling Metallics®.

You may want to leave this ornament up all year, or make it for the bird lover on your Christmas list!

(All suppliers are listed in the directory at the back of the book) This makes one ornament - double the surfaces if you’re making two.

• Two each 6 1/2” x 3” wooden birds shapes. Use pattern to cut them out of balsa wood with scissors, or use any other bird shape you like.

• One each 3” x 1 5/8” wooden tassel. Bear With Us #1845 • One each 1” jingle bell.

Bear With Us #2956 • Three each 3/4” wheels.

Bear With Us #1631 • One each mini music note.

Bear With Us #2819 • Two each 1 1/4” star. Craftwood (poke a hole in centers) • One each 3/4” round wooden bead. Craftwood

Helpful Hints:

I like hand-torn pieces of paper when I use Decou-Page, because the edges glue down better for layering.

Wet your brush often; it’s fine to have some water in the brush when using Decou-Page. I like it a little watery.

Painting World Magazine Line up birds and pinch together.

Make sure to center string so it will hang properly.

Decou-Page: Take your old flat brush and start Decou-Paging all over both sides of the bird and around the tassel’s center with torn sheet music. Cover well. See DecouPage manufacturer instructions.

Let dry. (See Figures 5-6)

Preparation: This project doesn’t take a lot of preparation. Sand pieces as needed. Poke a hole in each star so you can string them. I use an ice pick to poke holes in thinner wood.

Use clothespins to hold bird together. Set aside to dry.

Glue:

Bobbles:

Fold the long string in half.

Put wood glue all over one side of one bird, and then lay the folded string through the center of the glued area.

While the glue dries is a good time to base coat the bobbles:

You may want to add more glue over the string. Make sure you have long strings left at the bottom and about 6” at the top. Place other bird over glue and adjust string.

• 2 Wheels and parts of Tassel: Lamp Black.

(See Figures 2-4) Figure 2

• Bead: Napa Red.

• Stars and Bell: Luminous Gold.

• 1 Wheel, Music Note, and top of Tassel: Old World Patina. Undercoat the Patina with Colonial Green (this makes better coverage).

Figure 5

Stencil:

Place stencil on bird where you might see wings and feathers. Fill in vine atnd leaves with Napa Red first, then shade bottom of leaves with black using sponge or stencil brush. Repeat on other side. (See Figures 7-9)

Splattering:

With old toothbrush, make large splatters over bird and sheet music part of tassel with Luminous Gold. You may want to mask off tassel. (See Figure 10) Figure 7

Lace beads as shown. When you get to the bell, put strings through bell loop, then go back up through all the beads from the opposite end and synch them up tight. Tie a bow around synched string under bird, knot the ends, and trim strings.

Shading/Floating:

Shade around whole bird and bottom of sheet music on tassel with Black using angular brush. (See Figure 11)

String top beads as shown, then glue music note to top of stack. Take the 5” string and tie the other bow on top, knot the ends, and trim. Spray Matte Finisher over whole ornament. Sooooooo pretty!
