Greetings everyone,
A lot of the items that i have made recently are paper brick. Putting some of these things on messages boards have raised a question???...how do you do this? Well I'm going to attempt to outline the steps taken and the way I build a brick wall from paper.
Starting with a full sheet of bricks off the computer
First one gets cut out
First one gets pasted down
Pretty simple so far.....
Next piece...tear off the top of 2nd piece
Overlap the first piece
Next piece...tear left side
Paste this piece down
Next piece...tear top and left side
Paste this piece down
4 pieces down...no lines can be seen
Take a piece of brick and paste to card
Cut a few brick out of that piece
Paste it down....can't see it can you?
you will after you use this...Crack Shot
Feather in spackling compound
Next....sepia, very thin coat on spackling
Water it down so that its not to heavy
And there is your brick wall
Civil War Miniatures and Memorabilia... Collector of 19th century ad notes... Confederate Currency... 19th century postcards

More work on the alley
Greetings everyone,
I've been working on some of the little details. Researching on Google, I noticed a drain pipe coming out of a brick wall, fire cans, sewers, lights all the things that would make this look as real as possible. Theres no planning when i do things like this, whatever pops in my head thats what I do.
Sometimes its a good idea, other times not so good. Heres some shots.
