Paper Tole Supply Center - 3D Art News Letter 6.26.23

This is the Print that I am using for this example of eyes.

If you do not already spread glue on the back of each print let me explain... On each Print other than the 1 you glue down onto the Mounting Board I spread Elmers Glue on the back of each Print and let it dry before cutting.

I usually spread the Elmers White Glue with a small piece of a Sponge. When the Print dries it might be a bit wavy but that it OK. The Glue will allow the paper to stretch and emboss. This Step really changed the quality of my 3D Art finished pictures.

In this example I cut out the Face and removed the eyes. Then with my Brush Marker I colored all of the white paper that showed where the eyes were removed.

Then from another print I cut out the eye section that is shown. Where you see the dark oval dark line on the eyes is my marks to show where to press down with the Metal Shaping Tool (larger ball) to leave a embossed line all round the eyes on the printed side of the paper.

Then take that same cut Print piece with the line around the eyes and press with the Metal Shaping Tool (Larger Ball) to fill in the area in the oval eye area. That is what will make the eyes stand out more in your finished 3D Art project. Now I glue the eye section behind the Face area. I like to place the eyes behind without glue first to see how the face looks. You will have complete control to glue the eye piece at the best angle and height to look the most natural.

Here is my finished 3D Picture. I think the eyes make a huge difference in how dramatic a complete picture will look. I have not embellished this finished picture yet and have plans to...when it is embellished I include the completed picture in the newsletter.
