How I Upcycled 29 Circuit Boards using modelling paste and acrylic paint.

In this video I upcycle old circuit boards because upcycling unusual things to make my art gives me a good challenge. It's fun finding discarded items and figuring out how to make them beautiful and thus giving them new life! Life needs Art.

I love this concept! How’d you come up with the idea of using hardware as elements of paintings?

Thanks for your comment! I’ve always loved the textures of circuit boards (my husband’s a geek) and thought maybe I could work with them. I’ve been using any and all kinds of discarded objects on my paintings for about 15 years now and I’m always on the lookout for new ways to get interesting textures on my artwork.

Have you tried covering PCBs with pouring paint?

[@dorothealeblancart]

No, not directly but I’m guessing it would work just fine. They are beautiful. I have made 3 artworks with printed circuit boards, using E6000 or moulding paste to attach them (I usually coat with gesso or primer because gesso sticks to everything and everything sticks to it)
