Cowboy Letter Art

Cowboy Letter Art

Note:although I have been supplied with paints, all ideas and opinions are my own

I am in love with this project and just had to share this with you today! I love pallet art and have worked with different mediums to achieve a creative look from time to time. So when I was approached by Modern Masters to review this effects paint, I was so excited. To be honest, I didn't think it would work. At the least, I didn't think it would look good! That was till I used it for my Cowboy Pallet Art!

So let me start from the beginning......

I sell these wooden letters in my store Dreamingincolor.

I had an idea to attach these letters to a pallet/cedar shingle.

There are three steps to make this work. I used the metal effects primer (2 coats) on the letter and let dry completely.

I then applied the iron paint to the top and again painted two coats. While it dried....

I attached the letter to the wood piece with upholstery tacks and continued.

There are tiny particles of metal in the paint so when the activator is applied it turns it rusty.

I waited and waited. I didn't see anything happening. Just pools of solution.

And then IT happened!!!

It was amazing! Right before my eyes it turned to rust. I am over-the-top excited about this paint and the possibilities! Way to go Modern Masters! I love something different!

Did I mention the upholstery tacks are rusty too?

I can't wait to make more and I will be custom making these at the store too!
