Deborah Cuyle Plaster Mold Art

Now, Deborah Cuyle isn't someone who can calmly sit around and simply enjoy the peace and quiet of a relaxing day....this girl is in high gear all day long and she can't help it! She's the ultra creative type with more ideas in her brain than all the hours in a day or days in a year can handle. She has notebooks filled with them simply because she has to capture every one of them.

When I introduced her to our Plaster Molds, her mind just went nuts!

Like me, she loves using throw away items to create something new. In this case, we are talking about an old cupboard door she found at a salvage yard.

She decided the recess was perfect for a vignette of various plaster mold designs and that the outside edges were perfect for a bit of Raised Plaster Stenciling with a border stencil design and a small square mold design in the corners.

After stenciling the edges of the door with joint compound, then laying out all of her pieces and gluing them in to place, she primed the entire piece. painted it metallic pewter and wiped a deeper gray glaze over the ornamental plaster pieces and raised stenciling to bring out even more of the detail.

I fell in love with it, so she presented it to me as a gift! What a sweetheart! It now hangs above the bed in my guest room and sets the tone for all of the other pewter colored accessories I have now added to the room.

Because of her creativity with this piece, I have decided that I should create the same design on a larger scale on an old door (instead of a cupboard door) to use as a headboard for the bed.

Thank you Deborah! For continuing to provide us with awesome, easy to accomplish ideas!
