INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES:

Let dry completely between painting steps.

1. Using the Ultra-Matte Varnish, decoupage on tiny bits of torn vintage dictionary paper to the clock base.

2. Add a thick layer of White Gesso around the edges of the clock using a foam brush. While still wet, use a texture tool to add texture to the Gesso.

3. Paint a very thin layer of White Gesso in the middle of the base.

4. Once the Gesso is dry, add color to the outside ring of Gesso. To reduce the color, spray it with water and then wipe off the excess.

5. Add two more rings of color in Hansa Yellow Light and Blue Green Light. Dribble on splatters of other colors for interest.

6. Seal again with Ultra-Matte Varnish.

7. Using a permanent marker, doodle onto the surface as desired.

8. Add a layer of bumpy Gesso for texture. Once Gesso is completely dried, doodle and add free-hand lettering.

9. Add ribbons and trim onto a bike wheel.

10. Use E6000 to glue the mixed media piece to center of the wheel. Add a piece of old cardboard to the back of the wheel to protect the wall when hung up. Add ribbon for the hanger.
