Showcase Sealife & Terracotta Magnets

Terracotta showcase Terracotta Magnets

Sandstone showcase Sealife frame

I made this project for a tv show to showcase the gorgeous A1 Creatives Terracotta in its just cast form. I got a cheap metal sign and painted it with a rustic paint then using decoupage glue I adhered some beautiful Stamperia decoupage paper. I then cast some items from various moulds using A1 Creatives Terracotta. I attached strong magnets to them with Heavy Body gel and they can now go on my metal sign.

Ingredients

A1 Creatives Terracotta
Imagination Crafts Rusty Patina paint
Metal sign
Stamperia rice paper
Stamperia moulds
Decoupage glue
Strong magnets
Pentart Heavy Body Gel

I found some cheap frames at a local shop that were just crying out to be adapted so I bought some! I covered the frame with Heavy Body Gel and emptied out my pot of extra bits of sandstone that I had saved from cleaning my mixing pots. I patted them down to make sure they were secure and left it to dry for a bit before shaking off the excess. I then gave this a very light colouring with a water colour pen just so the cast pieces would stand out a bit as I didnt want to add any colour to them so that this project would be a showcase for the A1 Creatives Sandstone in its pure form! I used A1 Creatives Sandstone to cast my moulds from various companies. I have recently been learning crochet and had been practicing with some jute and thought that would go well with this project as a bit of a frame for my frame😁 When I had decided where everything would go I used Heavy Body Gel to secure it all in place. Then the final touch was to get a mini beach picture to place inside. I hope you like it and can see just how gorgeous the Sandstone is when cast!
