Dusty Attic
Mood Board Inspiration
Altered Crab
"Paradise Found"
Hello dear Dusty FANattics!
Here is my take on this months mood board.
I LOVE sea/beach themes and this colour palette is just absolutley STUNNING.
I have altered this cute little crab featuring lots of the pretty sea/beach
Dusty Attic chipboard pieces. I prepped the little guy with white gesso
and added some gauze along the bottom section.
I also painted all the chippies I used with white gesso first and then started adding them in layers onto the gauze, I adhered all of these with a heavy body gel and gave them another coat of gesso.

I then painted it with some impasto and metallique paints, I added water now and again to tone down the colours a bit. I randomly added some touches of rust pastes. I then tucked in some lace flowers and extra gauze behind the chippies. I also added some seashells and a starfish embellishment. The chipboard titles have been embossed with white embossing powder (I generally love embossing the chippie titles
with white, simply because it looks pretty and a lot more visible). I then finished the piece off with some lovely art stones for extra texture.
