Today, when the trees and houses covered with snow, and just a few days left before the Christmas holidays, it's time to start preparing gifts relatives! And buy them is not necessary, because family and friends will be very nice to get something original, unexpected, made especially for them with your own hands.
We still have a little pebble that we brought back from vacation, and keep as a reminder of the summer. So it is perfect for an unusual decorative panel - sovushek Winter sitting on a branch or tree.
For work as a basis, we need: plaque size of about 40h20 cm. Suitable fiberboard also on the format size suitable pattern.
As a master: gruntuem surface of dark paint to make our night birds and white snow look contrastly. At a distance of 4 - 5 cm on each side cut out groove width 1.5 cm and depth 0.5 cm from the top and bottom end side boards do fastening leather, synthetic leather or durable webbing length equal to the width of the board 2 x = 40 cm.
Fasteners connect stripe leather, synthetic leather or a braid length of 40 cm. If the material is sufficiently durable enough width of 1.3-1.5 cm. You can use the old belt; if thin, need to double the width.
Sovushek will draw on the pebbles with acrylic paints. Neutral Acrylic little thickish, is best suited Acrylic for ceramics and porcelain. Do not recommend to use markers with a gel - hands get dirty, drawing spreads, clarity and brightness of the picture is difficult to achieve.
Brushes need conventional synthetic or pony (For drawing fine details). It is possible to draw without preliminary sketch from the shape of the stone, but it is better to first apply a primer, base coat, and after it is completely dry to make a pencil outline on which brush to paint every detail: the eyes, beak, wings, individual feathers.
Should not rush to the next layer until dry before applying the paint. Stones have several, in this case five, so working with them in turn.
Until we get to the last one, the first is already dry. Options for coloring a variety of birds, the complexity of the pattern depends on the taste and skill of the artist. It will be interesting, if every member of the family razrisuy his sovushku.
After drying cover the drawing with acrylic lacquer or varnish for wood.
While birds are dry, attach to the base of the prefab branch. Post and fix it to the birds. Using a glue gun or superglue.
Now you can "pour" a little snow. This is best suited Styrofoam balls. Decorate panels snowflakes and stars made of cardboard, plastic, foil. You can cut them with their own hands or buy in stores for needlework and scrap the booking. A wonderful gift is ready!
Sovushki can also serve individual interior decoration, pendants.
They can be glued magnets and post on the refrigerator for fixing notes, reminders or make a nice housekeeper.
