Hello all
I am back with my latest victim, A bear i found at a charity shop which has become a cross between the Hulk and something off Mad Max. I've named him Radley because he maybe radioactive but don't worry he doesn't bite.
Products used
Leaf Green Brusho Powder
DecoArt Black Gesso
Burlap or any garden sack
Metal Charms
Face mould and clay
Bronze split pins
A teddy bear
Start off by soaking the bear in Leaf Green Brusho Powder. I would wear gloves for this as you will stain your hands and everything else in green ink. Drain the water out of the bear and then mix the fluid acrylics with water and slosh it on. i used a lighter colour on the paws and muzzle.
Dry out the bear completely by hanging it outside for the neighbours to see, It will keep the curtain twitchers entertained while you prepare the clothes.
Just chop off a strip of burlap and wrap it around the bear, use the split pins to hold it on so you don't have to sew anything.
Take some burlap ribbon of any trim in a dull brown tone, and wrap it around the shoulders and bottom of the bear. Again hold the straps together with split pins.
To make the body armour take two large metal charms and coat with Black Gesso. When this has dried just rub on the metallic lustre.
Paint up a small face and glue it on.
Thread twine through the charms and tie them on or use glue, lots of glue!!
Finish off by adding random metal charms to the bear.
Thank you for visiting
