Making Burnt Brown Bag Sculpture
Never in a million years would have I considered taking a match to a paper bag slathered in tacky glue to see what kind of effect would occur. But then again, I'm not in the habit of testing glue for flammability, which is exactly how this technique was discovered back in the 60's. It's a very cool way to get a metal sculpture look without the metal. To give it a shot, you'll need to gather up the following:
- Aleene's Super Thick Tacky Glue
- 18 gauge florist wire
- a wooden skewer
- brown grocery bags
- scissors
- Rub 'n Buff in gold and silver
- a plumbers candle and matches
- a soft cloth
- a bowl filled with water
