Work Pencil Holders

These were my first attempt at mixed media, and they started my mixed media adventure.  Both pieces are on my desk at work.  Also created a matching vase and frame (not shown yet).


  • Recycled Paper Pencil holders:  Originally these were green and super sun faded.
  • Acrylic Paint Colors:  Blue, Black, Gold, Silver, Bronze, etc.
  • Embellishments:  Metal, paper flowers, buttons, beads, hot glue molds, wood shapes, etc.
  • Texture:  Paper towel, texture paste, paper die cuts - I found that the more expensive paper towels keep the texture better.  Dollar store paper towel don't work well.

Front

Back - Magnetic
Cogs:  Cardstock Paper Die Cuts with gilding wax

Side


All 4 sides - I move it around so I never get bored.
