Step 1

I began this piece with an idea for something nautical. I started with a 12” x 16” black frame fitted with a piece of cardboard.

Step 2

I had a two-inch wide mat that fit between the cardboard and the frame which I wanted to distress with shellac and paint. I sprayed it with watered-down black acrylic after applying a liberal amount of amber shellac, working quickly while the shellac was still very wet. When it dried I scratched into it and drilled holes through the mat until it was the desired patina.
