This chapter will include a tutorial on how to make feather duster wall art!
ITEMS
- 36″ by 48″ blank canvas—you can browse various sizes online here
- Three different acrylic craft paints, preferably in progressively lighter shades—I used navy blue, light blue, and metallic silver
- Ostrich feather duster—It's important to get an ostrich feather duster, not a regular feather duster. Regular feather dusters create a stiffer-looking pattern and tend to shed!
- Drop cloth, latex gloves, paper plates, paper towels, scissors
HOW TO MAKE
Step 1: Start with your darkest color. Pour the paint onto a paper plate, dip the feather duster in, and begin blotting the paint onto the canvas.
Step 2: Next put the bottle of light blue onto the same paper plate and repeat the first step using the same feather duster.
Step 3: Let this dry for about 15 minutes and then pour your metallic silver onto a new plate. The feather duster will sopping wet with your other paint at this point, so instead of buying another feather duster, just use scissors to cut off the tips. Then blot the silver paint on using no particular rhyme or reason.
Step 4: After a few hours of drying, hang it up on any wall you like!
