Seahorse Jounal Cover - Kerstin Filou - Mixed media project

Welcome creative friends!

 I'm totally in love with the latest Soft Mould 'Seaworld' from Stamperia. 
The awesome seahorse in steampunk style was perfect for a new Art Journal cover in

mixed media style.

I combined the cast with a

Baroque
Flourish 

as the mane for the seahorse.

   

Tips & Tricks

Today I want to share with you, how you
can create an amazing

 steampunk seahorse as center
piece

for your new project.

1. make a cast with air modeling
clay

(I left out the gear)

2. glue all chipboards 

 the background can
additionally 

be designed with stencils and modeling
paste

I used a gear from the

Cogs Frame
Set

 and also the
negative 

3. glue a bigger 

Baroque
Flourish #3

behind the head of the
seahorse

4. now design the background first with
black gesso as primer 

and then with the colours of your
choice, I used Spray colours, Rust effect paste

and metallic waxes

5. finally I painted the seahorse with
its beautiful voluptuous mane, 

for this I used simple acrylic paint
which was slightly diluted with water
 

after drying I set some highlights with
metal waxes

 used Dusty Attic

chipboards

Flourish #3
