Acrylic skins
I've been experimenting with creating acrylic skins to print onto using the new digital grounds from Golden paints. Here is my first attempt. I put down a layer of gel medium gloss, added a layer of crackle paste (that's what caused the cracks), next a layer of self leveling gel, then a layer of Lumiere super sparkle paint. For the final two layers I put Golden's digital ground for non-porous surfaces. I let each layer dry thoroughly before adding the next layer. Then I took a manipulated digital photo and printed it onto the acrylic skin after taping it to a carrier sheet first. Here is my result and I'm quit pleased.
