Step
1
- Using your masking-tape, make 2 parallel lines
across the front of your shirt or bag 4” apart,
then vertically to make boxes, (see picture 1).
Step
2
- Carefully tear VERY THIN strips of masking tape,
making sure your edges are jagged and NOT straight.
Step
3
- Apply the jagged edge tape diagonally across your
squares. To add interest to your design some strips
should be shorter and not extend totally across
the square, (see picture 2).
Step
4
- Place a generous amount (silver dollar circle)
of rust, gold, orange and light green colorfrost
onto your palette paper. Paint with 1 color at a
time, daubing the paint in 1” - 1.5” diameter
shapes filling in the black area of your design
. (See pic. 3).
Step
5
- Once first color is added move on the 2nd, 3rd
and 4th colors making sure you overlap each color
only slightly. DO NOT work the brush back and forth,
use a dabbing up and down stroke. BE sure to apply
a generous amount of paint.
Step
6
- When all colors are applied peel off your masking
tape. (see picture 4)
Step
7
- Heat set when dry.
