Hi, everyone! Today I wanted to share a project that so many of us can use since buying art supplies is an obsession we share!
I found the 4-pack holder in my stash and decided to dress it up to hold some of my markers, pencils and pens on my art table. It is a simple process and didn’t take much time at all.
The first step I took was to paint the background with some of my favorite green acrylics using a very slip-slap technique to create a mottled effect.
I then applied Liquitex modeling paste to create texture with two stencils. I used the Mini Butterfly Collage stencil and the Mini Tatting stencil for the designs. I let the modeling paste dry for a couple hours.
Using a dry brush, I added metallic green and silver to both the background and the texture paste, concentrating the silver on the texture paste designs.
To finish off my art supply caddy, I painted the inside and bottom with black acrylic. I added touches of black and bronze on all the edges of the caddy with a dry brush. The final touch was to add splatters of bronze over the entire piece. It is a sweet, simple addition to my art table. The stencil designs are the star and really needed very little embellishment added to make them stand out.
Thanks for joining me today!
