Enamel Paint on smooth surfaces

You can used the enamel paint on any smooth surfaces such as tin, glass and paint. I have used this paint directly on the surface and there is no varnishing required.

Mixed medium Tray

This tray has been partly painted. On the back of the tray I had dry brushed to make look like a denim cloth. The front part has been decoupaged with napkin design and then rubber stamped here and there.

My second book project

The past few months I have been working on my second book project. Trying to conceptualised the book took quite sometime before I actually writes it. I wanted it to be better from the first. It has a wider range of recycle items to be painted on but with different techniques of painting. It also has loads of flower design as requested by a lot of people. Since I had to work with a different team from the last, the outlook and layout were a bit different. Hopefully everyone likes it. Currently the book is already sent for printing and hopefully it will be released after Hari raya. Stay tuned for more info about the book.

Vintage Lamp

This old lamp was given to me by a friend and decided to paint it with bronze colour background and burnt sienna roses using enamel paint. The glass part of the lamp si also being etched.

Classic Terracota Vase

This terracota vase was given to me by a friend and decided to re-paint it with dark colour and paint lace and roses to make it look more elegant.

Chicken Napkin Holder

This chicken shaped napkin holder has been painted to look like the cockerel door stopper that I had painted sometime ago. It's quite a match.

Luanne Wykes' Technique

I started painting this wood item six years ago when I was learning the Luanne Wykes technique. The process of painting it was a bit too tedious for me and took ages to finished, so I decided to just abandoned the project. This technique requires you to apply texture paste on the design before painting over it. Recently I took it out and decided to finished it once and for all with a bit of short cut here and there....cheating actually...hahaha!!

Painted enamel pot

There are two different ways that you can paint an enamel pot. You can apply gesso on its surface and then paint a background using acrylic paint before painting the design. However if you are using enamel paint you can actually paint the design directly on the surface. With this method you can washed the item.
