Terraskin stencil of chandelier for a wedding gift

We are going to a wedding in Aug for a woman who loves my paintings.....so of course an easy gift would be to make her one for her wedding gift. I took the idea from her invitation and then made the stencil with the Terraskin cut it out and sprayed the background on the canvas with a Royal Blue and after 3 coats and when it dried, I layed down the chandelier template and sprayed it with a Baby Blue. It turned out wonderful and I will hand paint in their names and the date on the bottom. I used my Sabotaz paints which have amazing coverage but had to do this outdoors as it smells. It will have to cure for at least 24hours and then I will add some bling.....not sure at this point whether it will be glitter or sequins but not gold leaf this time. Updates to follow

Here is the invitation

Here is the design which is not exact because it is a little complex for the stencil cutting

This is final version after the background has been completely painted and then the stencil layed on top and spray painted Baby Blue

This is the stencil after spraying. I am hoping that I can do at least 20 to 30 with this template. The Terraskin holds up very well with paint and does not buckle.

So I did notice only after the painting through the stencil that there were a couple of areas that could use some touch up and that were off just a bit but nothing my trusty exacto knife can't handle for the stencil and a little bit of paint on the canvas.

Next to do is add names and dates and bling

The Randon things I collect on Tresorcache101

My blog name is called Tresorcache101. I liked the name Tresor cache from the first time I heard it. It sounded like a diamond in the rough. I like to find little treasures even at the curb. I picked that name when I started this blog way back when. Since Tresor cache was already taken in Google, I added the 101 at the end. It is the place where I document stories about the items given to me by my Family and Friends either to keep or resale. Some of the items I are found at the curb or at 2nd Hand Stores, Flea Markets. Most of the photographs are mine with the exception of the occasional picture ideas for reference of what could be done with the item to upcycle. Google " bpagani@poshmark.ca" and click on images you will be directed to my Poshmark closet where I sell. I post items on Instagram under randomthingsicollect. Please ask any question you have regarding any of my items. Use my referral code "bpagani" to receive a $15 discount off your first purchas...
