Free Spirit - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed-media canvas.

After priming the canvas with white gesso, I glued crumpled kraft paper to add texture. Next, I covered the paper with white gesso and added white crackle paste. I leave the canvas to dry naturally to allow the crackles to appear. I used black gesso and a lot of water to color the background.

I primed all the cog chipboards with black gesso. I embossed the Fans with a silver grunge embossing powder. I covered the Jumbo Cogs, Mini Cogs, Cogs and Gears, ... with Graphite paste, then black gesso. I highlighted the details with Old Silver wax.

To alter the Cog Cluster and the Insdustrial Border #2 I used an old tip. I covered the chipboards with white glue, then with black gesso. When heated, bubbles will appear and give the texture of wrought iron. I highlighted the details with Brushed iron wax. 

I primed the Leaves #5 and Mini Foliage #5 with white gesso. I used black and brown Distress Inks to color them.

I glued all the elements of the composition with a 3D gel. I added shadows around the composition with a mix of black and brown paints. 

To finish, I added silver glitter.

 HI Friends, I am back to share an altered project I created for Dusty Attic using some of their mechanical pieces.

Using lots of cogs, gears and that gorgeous Seahorse, I put together this small project on a 5x7 canvas

I used some Stamperia Allegro Paints for the turquoise, 

Sparks Dragons Eye paint for the golds.

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media canvas. 

To begin, I covered the canvas with Paper paste. Then I used liquid acrylic paints to color the paste: I added several layers of paints and I dried in between each layers to obtain the effect of an old wall. 

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I used a foam to do it to be able to add a thin layer. 

I colored the Lemon Leaves with Advocado and Umber liquid acrylics. I have selected different elements from Foliage Cluster #1, #2 & #3 and from the Botanic Mix #1 & 3. I used the same colors for the leaves of all these elements. I added Tiger Eye's Stone Jewel paste to the flowers of the different elements.

I covered the frame with metallic flakes, then with clear crackle paste. And to finish, I added sepia wax to highlight the cracks. 

To finish, I added some Golden Dragon paste and glitter.

Seahorse hanging panel - Deb Stephens

Aren't you loving seeing all these fantastic projects with the new Industrial chippy? This marine mechanical themed range just makes me want to make things.

This Plywood wall hanging is not just some grungy art but also practical as I have added hooks to it so you can hang your aprons or bags from it!

I used the DA3381 Industrial Cluster 9 and cut it into sections to spread it out. I also added the Spinner/Arrow, the screw heads and cut out the remaining chevron strips from the outline of the chippy once the main section was removed.

The main feature is the beautiful DA3359 Marine Mechanical Large Seahorse with all it's fabulous layers. I used lots of metallic paint, waxes and glossy accents to bring out the shine in those light bulbs and gauges.

DA2190 Mini Skeleton Fish were also used in some places to add extra interest.

I love how this turned out and that it is a functional piece that I can use in my craft room as well. Looking forward to seeing all your creations as well!

Un jour a la fois - Pascale B Scrap - Mood Board Inspiration (Take one day at a time...)

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm on Dusty Attic blog with a mixed media panel inspired by our beautiful August mood board. I chose another vintage photo from my postcard collection. 

Isn't it lovely?

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. Then, then I covered a canvas cardboard with a paper which I covered with clear gesso.

Next, I started to build my composition. I started with the Cherry Blossom and the Industrial Cluster #7. I continued by adding smaller elements like Botanic Mix elements, then some Cogs. 

I sprinkle the composition with mika powders and sprayed with water. Next, I mixed mica powders with lliqui acrylic fluid to make them permanent. I painted the chipboards with these homemade paints.

Next, I highlighted the details with Old Silver and White Gold waxes. I added splatters of the darker color.

To finish, I added glitter
