Pictures from stone chips for 14 years of wedding
Choose such a plot so that agate is the main element on it. But take crumbs and other stones so that your masterpiece does not turn out to be monochromatic, but has several shades.
Take:
- fiberboard sheet 3 or 4 mm thick;
- crumbs of stones, including agate;
- PVA glue;
- small flat press;
- carbon copy;
- sandpaper;
- a small spoon made of cardboard;
- a vessel for water and glue;
- awl or thin knife or scalpel.
First you need to sand the smooth side of the fiberboard so that it has a rougher surface. Then the adhesion to the materials will be better. Now, through a carbon copy, bring the selected pattern here.
When you start filling the fragments with crumbs, the thin lines will be hard to see. Therefore, at this stage, you need to circle them with a thicker line.
Now dilute 2 parts of water and 1 part of PVA glue and apply this primer to the canvas. It will dry out in about an hour. See if this layer has been applied well. If not, then prime again. If somewhere you will not apply stone chips, then paint over these places with acrylic paint.
Now you can put crumbs on the selected fragment of the picture. To prevent the small fraction of stones from scattering, use a spatula made of thin cardboard. Apply undiluted PVA glue, then add stone chips to the line and correct it with a knife or scalpel so that it is located on the selected line.
Now you need to press down this part with a press. If it is necessary for the layer to be thicker, then pour more crumbs here.
Prepare in advance a container in which there will be diluted PVA glue. Dip a soft brush here and apply this solution over the crumb. Moreover, do not touch these small stones with a brush. The drops should fall on their own. Then the stones will stick well. And with a paper towel, you will remove the excess of this glue, diluted in water.
If you want to make such an adorable cat as a gift for 14 years of wedding, then first also glue the stones to the contours of her body, then to her paws.
Now you will need to decorate her body. To also highlight the different parts of the cat, you can pre-paint the face, tail, paws and contours with black paint. Then the light agate crumb will be clearly visible here. And the body will be white, as you will begin to cover the light area of the drawing with this stone dust. Decorate the background in the same way. It will also turn out to be light.
You can create different colors by mixing agate chips with other crushed stones.
This is how you can make a do-it-yourself gift for a 14-year wedding. And if you want to congratulate the couple on this significant event in verse, then you can learn them or rewrite them to say during the feast.
