I have thirty-or-forty-vinyl albums that do not have their jackets. Without the jackets, it becomes difficult to keep them from getting scuffs, scratches and covered in dust. I put fifty cents on them at sales, hoping someone has an art project for them. I am still waiting on my first sale.
I attempted to paint on one last year, and the result was OK, I am just not a trained artist, so the results tend to look a little rudimentary. I painted a winter scene on it and used the center sticker as the moon. I have it displayed on my bar in Dan Land right now for the season. I enjoy it, but I don’t know if anyone else would, at least enough to pay for it.
I have recently seen online where people do collages on top
of vinyl. Using the dark grooves as added texture and depth.
So, I am working on that tonight. I begin with the question on how do you adhere paper to vinyl? Does regular glue work? Will it look, OK?
I do a google search and it mentions using Modge Podge or double-sided tape. I could see using Modge-Podge to help preserve the paper, but I am not sure about it sticking to vinyl. The only way to find out, is to try? So, I just stick a pick of paper on a test record with Elmer’s glue. We’ll see how it stays.
I have a space theme in mind. I have various scenes already cut out that I have been looking to use on something, and I have words for the lyrics to the Beatles song “Across the Universe” also cut out.
Time to create.
