Prika: Altered Sunglass by Pallavi Jain

Hello Crafty Friends,

Myself Pallavi and this project is my entry for PRIKA All About Crafts — Blog, as per theme of current challenge, I decided to make something from old, unused, broken sunglasses.

Please go through images and description below to enjoy the journey of turning this broken sunglass into a beautiful mix media project.

Supplies Used:

# Little Birdie Mixed Media Paste 2 in 1 Modelling paste.

# Tim Holtz Sunrays Stencils.

# Little Birdie Acrylic Gel Medium.

# Chipboards.

# Metal Emblishments.

# Little Birdie Mettalic Paints (Caribbean Teal,Fire Brick & Silver Charms)

# Little Birdie Acrylic Soft Gel medium.

# Fussy Cut Images.

# Art Stones.

# Homemade Gesso.

Let’s begin with steps of making:

Step.1: I applied Little Birdie Mixed Media Paste 2 in 1 Modelling paste on the sides of the sunglasses. I further applied black Gesso on it.

Step.2: Then, I applied textured paint on to a side of sunglass with sunrays stencil. On the other side of the frame, I applied black Gesso on the glasses to give it a beautiful textured style.

Step.3: I further applied colors on both sides of the glasses aiming for a sunrise and sunset setting.

Step.4: I applied Little Birdie Gel medium to paste fine stones ( to accentuate Gesso effect) and paste chip boards on both the sides of the frame. I also pasted fussy cuts of birds and butterflies on the sunglasses to give beautiful effects.

Step.5: I further pasted metal embellishments on the sides as well as on the frame to give final touch to the project. Moreover, I used Little Birdie Mettalic paints ( Caribbean Teal, Fire Brick & Silver Charms) to highlight the effects.

Step.6: Final effects to give it a starry feel, sprinkled mixture of Little Birdie Mixed Media Paste 2 in 1 Gesso and Water on the project with the help of round brush. Also, applied Little Birdie Acrylic Soft Gel medium to give final glossy overlay to this project.
