Rusty Box - Retro Kraft Shop

Hej,

dzisiejsza moja inspiracja dla Retro Kraft Shop to zardzewiała kompozycja ukryta w metalowym pudełeczku.

Na wieczku wykorzystałam mnóstwo metalowych elementów z MitForm oraz najzwyklejsze metalowe podkładki. Wszystko trzyma się idealnie metalowej powierzchni dzięki 3D Gel od Finnabair. Tą kompozycję pomalowałam woskami z serii Art Alchemy.

Hi,

my new inspiration for Retro Kraft Shop is a rusty composition hidden in a metal box.

On the lid, I used a lot of metal elements from MitForm and the most ordinary metal washers. Everything sticks perfectly to a metallic surface thanks to 3D Gel from Finnabair. I painted this composition with waxes from the Art Alchemy series.

W środku ukryłam trochę metalowych i żywicznych elementów, a wszystko potraktowałam pastą z efektem rdzy od Finnabair. Najpierw jednak wszystko pomalowałam czarnym gesso, dzięki czemu wszystkie dodatki jednakowo przyjmują wszelkie media i tworzą jednolitą całość. 

Inside, I hid some metal and resin elements, and I treated everything with a rust effect paste from Finnabair. First, I painted everything with black gesso, thanks to which all things equally accept all media and create a unified whole.

Pasty z efektem rdzy są permanentne po wyschnięciu, więc bez problemu mogłam dodać kolorowy pigment i spryskać wszystko wodą. Rdza się nie rozpłynęła, a turkus doskonale ją uwypuklił.

Rust effect pastes are permanent after drying, so I could easily add colored pigment and spray everything with water. The rust did not melt, and the turquoise perfectly emphasized it.

Go Wild - mixed media project - Finnabair Creative Team

Hello,

it's time for my new project for Finnabair Creative Team.

Today I have for you a new mixed-media project created on my favorite kind of base made out of wood. This time I used a heart-shaped piece. I was inspired by the image of this cute girl that is the focal point of my work. I got this photo from my friend and I think it perfectly fits the heart.

This time I wanted to use something a little bit unusual for the background and I had this idea to take... real feathers. I glued them with the Soft Matte Gel which is delicate enough not to ruin their fine structure. I had very soft small feathers and I used quite a lot of them, but I'm sure you will also get a very interesting effect when you use a big one or two.

I also added a few resin shapes to make my background a little bit richer. My next step was to cover the whole surface with White Gesso and then - a very exciting moment - to add chosen colors. I simply made some mists mixing pigments with water and I got beautifully rich, saturated colors.

When I was satisfied with the colors of my project, I reached for one of my favorite products - Antique Brilliance - Red Amber Wax. I added it here and there to highlight the details and get more color contrast.

I also made my own embellishments with clear Art Pebbles. You just paint the bottom and simple as that - you get beautiful, custom made decorations for all kinds of projects. Here I used Art Alchemy Sparks paint (Dragon's Eye), it gave me a wonderful glossy effect.

Here's a video I made to show you the whole creative process. I hope it inspires you to create your own little assemblage.

I think that the feathers I used in the background added a special little touch to the "Go Wild" theme of this mixed media creation of mine. I encourage you to look for unusual items that can help you create some amazing origina textures in your projects.

Keep your eyes open and happy creating!

For many years I dreamed of taking part in Finnabair classes. So far I haven't had the opportunity, but my dreams are still the same. 

And now, thanks to Finnabair and Everything Art, we all have the chance to try on-line classes! This is amazing occasion to meet Anna "eye to eye", in our home, our craftroom, and experience very exciting journey.

And this is my interpretation of Finnabair's project.
