Sea Life Mixed media Panel - Pascale B

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a mixed-media panel inspired by the sea life.


First I primed my canvas board with black gesso. I added two designs. The first one with the River Stone Stencel and gold paste to represent the sea floor, and the Second with the Confetti #2 Stencil and Ice Crushed Jewel paste for the bubbles.


I also primed the chipboard with black gesso except for the Coral Elements. I covered the latter with a light modeling paste. With my spatula, I made some peaks to give some dimension to the coral.


Next, I covered all the cogs I've selected from the Jumbo Cogs #2 and Mini Cogs #2 sets with Rust Effect Pastes. 


I glued all the elements of the composition with a 3D gel except the Marine Mechanicals Fish. I selected different green, turquoise, and yellow waxes to color the Ocean Elements I've chosen.


For the Coral Mixed, I chose red and coral waxes. I highlighted all the elements with gold and silver waxes. 


I used different shades of blue and turquoise to color the fish. I highlighted the details with metallic waxes. When Happy, I glued the fish.

From the Sea - Amanda Herring



Hello There

It is my turn to share an arty creation  for Dusty Attic
 and my second for this month.

I love shadow boxes projects and gave this one a vintage steampunk ocean theme Using the Marine Mechanical Chippy! 



I have used a wooden painting panel to collage on, but instead of working on the flat front surface I have turned it around and I have used the back,
 this gave me a nice sized shadow box and the wooden panel is nice and firm to work on unlike a stretched canvas.




To start, I have covered the base with Stamperia scrapbooking paper cutting strips to cover all sides 
of the frame as well as the base, I have used Mixed media glue to stick everything down and also applied two coats of the glue on top to seal the surface before adding crackle medium and colour.




Once dry I have added Clear crackle paste with a palette knife and left it overnight to dry naturally and then coloured using Vintage Antiquing paste also from Stamperia  as this really helped to age the colours in the paper background  as well as emphasise the crackle finish.




I have used acrylic paints on the mechanical fish chipboard pieces and the leaf branch. In used various different brands of paints including Sennelier, Dina Wakley and Paper Artsy. 




I used PVA glue to glue the fish and coral to the panel, building under the fish up with chippy scraps so that they are nice and stable.
I have added leafing flakes to the fish and Leafy frond  and Glossy accent to the eyes to finish off.



Supplies Used:
DA3365 Marine Mechanical Fish Large 
DA3356 Marine Mechanical Angler Fish Large 
DA058 Leafy Stem
DA1907 Coral #2

Stamperia Clear Crackle paste 
Stamperia Mechanical Seaworld Paper 
Stamperia Mix Media Glue
Stamperia Antiquing Paste 
Zig 2Way Glue 
Leafing Flake 

Acrylic Paint:
Sennelier Turquoise #341 and Raw Umber #205
Dina Wakley Syrup, Sedona, Ocean , Cheddar
Paper Artsy Baltic Blue ,  Squid Ink


Thanks for stopping by to see my latest project 

Until Next time

Lady Belle - Hot Air Balloon - Deb Stephens


Hello fellow Dusty FANattics! I am hoping you are as excited as I was when the Boss Lady said "Industrial Chippy New Release!"


I was in love with all the mechanical layers and the sizes they all came in! It all helped with my mixed media Hot Air Balloon Project called Lady Belle.

The main attraction is the DA3366 -Marine Mechanicals Fish (Medium) with some DA1932 - Mini Cogs #2 added. That heart though...sigh....
Lady Belle (Spelled using DA0983 – Teeny Tiny ABC Set) is complete with a string of small LED battery operated lights that hide inside her balloon to give the impression of the burner inside. Other Chipboard on her basket include DA0154 – Barb Wire and DA2190 – Mini Skeleton Fish.
I also used DA2864 – Geo Gears #1 to cut into the balloon so that more light can be seen through the windows while she hangs. It looks amazing in the daylight and in the dark!
I hope these photos of Lady Belle on her maiden voyage inspire you to get out your chipboard and have a play. You don't need too much.. just let your imagination take flight...

A to Z Marine bookends - Kerstin Filou

 

Welcome creative friends!

New awesome marine mechanicals chipboards from Dusty Attic inspired me to create two bookends in Steampunk style. 

I was especially impressed by the 3D effects. 

You can paint the individual layers in different colours, but also emboss them, as I successfully tried here.


I combined faux rust effects with metallic and acrylic paints.

The grunge look is always an adventure and always invites you to try it out, love that!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

How I began

 

 
1. lowest part was embossed with an Embossing Folder from Sizzix,
painted with Dark Patina Metallic Paint (DecoArt),
added stains with diluted Quinacridone Gold


2. middle part was primed with black gesso,
highlighted with silver wax
 
3.  top part primed with a little bit Texture paste and then painted 
with Quinacridone Gold (DecoArt)
for a greatfaux rust effect
 
 

Marine Mechanicals – Fish medium

 

 
 now you only need to glue the three parts on top of each other
 to create a great 3d effect

Book ends in Altered Art have become a real eye-catcher and have already been admired a lot, one of my favourite projects this year. 


 

I hope you find inspiration!
