| Faux Metal Wall Art |
Hi and welcome to my post on Faux Metal Wall Art......
This Wall art has a complete metallic look but is actually made from recycled cardboard, foil
and paper grocery bag !!!!
I had saved a nice stiff cardboard used for a curtain packaging......
Using the cardboard as a base, I started this piece......
I stuck two pieces of corrugated cardboard ( again, recycled) on the base....
To add some more texture I used some leftover knick-knacks from an old project on the sides......
Then I stuck crumpled foil all over the piece using PVA glue......
After smoothing with a Q-tip I got my finished base.......
Then came the butterfly project :)
I made three butterflies of varying size out of a grocery bag , using PVA glue and burning technique.....
The butterfly is shown below......

After brushing the butterfly with golden powder, it looked like this.....

| Metallic Gold Butterfly |
Then I painted the edges of the butterfly with metallic blue to give it some contrast.....
Lastly, I attached floral wire antennae to it.....
I repeated the same procedure for other two butterflies as well...
After all the butterflies were done, I glued them to the base in descending order of their size.....

Finally I added a braided golden string to it for hanging.....
Thus, my recycled "Faux Metal" Wall Art was ready.......
This is how it looks on the wall......
I sold this artwork at a craft show recently :)
