Altered Ukulele

Hello !

I told you few days ago that I was working on a new mixed media project... Here it is : an altered UKULELE ! It was a special request of my daughter... and it still is a musical instrument !


I bought an Ukulele kit in France during my last vacations and built the frame recently.
Before adding anything to the frame, I used a Hero Arts stencil with heavy white gesso, then cover everything with light white gesso before painting it in blue (mixed with a little bit of white). Once dry, I brushed Ginger Magic paint.



I order the new Fragrant Roses by Prima especially for this project to create the rose with paper clay. I colored the flowers in rusty red, brushed with Ginger Magic paint, and the leaves in Green gold and Fairy Wings paints before gluing them to the frame.


You can see that I also used gold paint with the red before mounting the cords.


This was a fun project to create, and not complicated at all ! Don't hesitate to try it and ask me if you need some advises !

I wish you a great day, and see you soon !

P.S. : here are some affiliate links of products I used in this project.
