12x12 cement paver on my work table, with my feet below. Just realized that. DUH! |
2 more pavers |
This was one of the collages from Lesson 4 that I just added more elements, and some black scribbles |
This is what I did for the pavers: buy cement pavers in your choice of size and dimension. Clean them off, let dry completely, and pick a flat side to paint. I base coated each with a cheaper gesso to seal it. Then used whatever craft paint I had on hand. These were painted with Americana, the base coat allowed to dry, then put large stencils over it. I rolled the contrasting color onto the base with a foam brayer, the type of roller you would use on the walls for trim. Press down on the stencil so it does not move when doing this. Let all of the layers dry at least overnight, then sealed with a heavy coat of Mod Podge.
Will make great garden decorations that are unique, and you can say "I did that!" Enjoy yourselves.
