Magic stage props - 'The Secret Book' 

This is the blank book before we start to work on it.

Here I have cut out the shape of the objects I want on the front cover and started to paint the base layer on.

This is the finished book. There are 15 layers of paint to produce the rust and metal effects.

The spine of the book take almost two days to produce because the moulding is done by hand then given 12 hours to dry. This is then hand painted with 5 colours and many layers to produce the effect.

Finished results books, boxes & shield, click on pictures to enlarge.

From old pictures to personalised video gift and vintage art canvasses. 

Altered Canvas made from the old photos. 

Here we see the pictures being distressed, we use 10 distressed inks to get the complete effect. notice we have torn a few.

In this picture I have just started building up the layers of antique effects. There are over 20 layers for the background.
