John Glossops trip to the other side....The Powertex Darkside
This is another accreditation piece , this time I made it a little more personal . I love steampunk, grunge and Industriana and Powertex really lends itself to my style .
This is polystyrene head decorated with Self cracking clay made using Powertex Easy 3d and a combination of different coloured Powertex hardener.
On arrival home he was immediately confined to the shed . I think Heather found him a little scary??
After awhile I decided I wanted to give him a more reptilian Finish
this was dome by first painting him with black acrylic paint. He was then colourwashed with micaceous Iron Oxide and Phthalo green acrylic. This gave me a deep reptilian irridescant green. Finally he was dry brushed with Powertex clear gold colourticx
I would love to hear your vies/critiques .
Heather is right - this is creepy!! I do love the metallic reptilian finish you created - reminds me of the TV series 'V'....you will remember that because you are old like me :D Even though this is a bit freaky, you are really showing off what Powertex can be used for and I can't wait to see what you do next!
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa, you are right I am that old that I can remember V and you know I am hooked on Powertex it is such a versatile medium. x
DeletePrefer it as the lizard finish as I agree the other is a bit scarey lol Pam
ReplyDeleteHi Pam Thanks for the comment Must admit I like them both , but I do like the dark side

Hi Lillian, thank you very much for your kind comment. You could try checking out the Powertex UK website to see where your local stockist/tutor is. If there isn't one close by and you can get a few friends together I am more than happy to come and teach for a day?
