Isis in gold

Member FORUMHOUSE MEAMIG17, repairing the nursery 13-year-old son, decided not limited to a standard gluing wallpaper and paint the walls, and created panels depicting Isis- Egyptian goddess of femininity and motherhood. Material for creativity has served as non-shrinking plaster putty.

First forumchanin transferred wall contour and dorisoval future image of the hand rest. Then primed surface prepared putty and started to apply it in small pieces on the drawing, like plasticine. After drying the removed surplus fillings sandpaper properly primed and held recorrect filler. small patterns MEAMIG17 painted on paper, carbon paper turned to the wall and drill engraved.

In the absence of a drill protsarapat fine patterns on dry putty can be conventional nail.

MEAMIG17 (participant FORUMHOUSE):

I sculpted panels by applying putty thick and thin layers. Lubricate and damp, and dry, and after proshkurivaniya - only these places primed again.

Validating Brianskiy recommends adding to the gypsum putty PVA glue - it will give her strength and elasticity, as well as increase the moisture resistance. But the tinted sealer prior to the application is not necessary - according to the artists, it will weaken the strength of the composition and lead to more spending caramel. It is best to paint a ready-made stucco with latex paint, then, if you want to give the composition a special shade, use acrylic. So, MEAMIG17 Isis has chosen for a panel under the shade of gold, associated with the grandeur and richness of ancient Egyptian pharaohs.

Silk-screen equipment

Another method of creating panels made of gypsum - with help of a stencil. It can be purchased at the store or make your own out of cardboard or a piece of linoleum, remaining after repairs.

The process of creating bulk pattern is:

• The stencil is attached to the wall, masking tape.
• Prepared gypsum plaster with a spatula uniformly applied into the holes.
• When the plaster begins to set, but has not yet hardened thoroughly, you need to carefully remove the stencil and fill the voids in the plaster relief.

When calculating the consistency of the gypsum mixture and final thickness of the applied layer forumchaninBrianskiyadvises to focus on the instructions given by the manufacturer on the bags.

• Further pattern sprinkled with water from a spray and carefully model the brush (watch so that the brush bristles have not dropped). We are waiting for drying.
• The next stage - the dried grout pattern sandpaper or a scraper.
• Primer impregnate pattern for strength.
• Acrylic paint over a wall, water-based paint or water-based varnish, and then select the color of the embossed pattern (ink can be accurately applied with a sponge brush or oily marker).

Interesting effect when painting stucco can be achieved by krakelyurnyh varnishes - they are applied to products before painting. Dries krakelyurny lacquer forms on the painted surface cracks beautiful - this technique is often used by decorators, giving things a noble patina of antiquity.

We are doing stucco

Plaster moldings gained its popularity in the XVI century, during the reign of the French Baroque style - one of the finest destinations in the architecture. In the Soviet Union, the fashion on the stucco was continued in 1930-50-ies, when Stalin's "Empire style" building - isegodnya cute plaster rosettes decorate the ceilings "stalinok" unspoiled ruthless renovated.

Of course, today at any hardware store you can buy imitation plaster moldings: polyurethane foam outlet, pilasters and moldings, which will look after staining, almost like real. And yet, if your intention is stucco with a personal story, which is not found on sale, you can try to do it yourself.

This will require a form - you can use ready-made from silicone. Or cast form made from plaster.

In short, the first element is molded from clay, molded, cast in plaster, in plaster protsirovyvaetsya and brought to the state of the model. And she formed the second time, and this form of cast the right amount of elementovdlya installation indoors.

Before filling out this form and fluff separating grease (available at hardware store or the Department of products for soap making) or vegetable oil, to plaster at hardening does not stick to form.

Dry gypsum diluted with water in a ratio of 10: 7, to a liquid cream consistency. To improve the ductility can add a small amount of white glue. Kneading is necessary quickly to the plaster has not started to freeze.

The plaster solution was poured into a mold vibrating movements to release trapped air bubbles, and then the surface is leveled with a spatula. If the product is small, it will seize for 15-20 minutes. The form is removed and correct minor issues with the help of tools and sandpaper, bringing an element of perfection. On the reverse side of the mesh stucco applied to improve traction, primed. The finished moldings leave finally dried at room temperature for a day, whereupon paint latex paint.

Unlike polyurethane foam, plaster moldings quite heavy. And mount it on the wall or ceiling is not as simple as a plastic counterpart. To mount the small elements use a special glue or plaster solution with 3% of wood glue. The wall surface is moistened with water and applied to it an adhesive composition, after which the item is set to the desired location, the excess plaster was removed.

Larger gypsum elements additionally attached to a wall or ceiling by means of screws and wires. But it is - a matter of professionals, because:
