Altered Tin Boxes - Anat Weksler

 Hello lovelies!

It's Anat here, with a couple of altered Tin Boxes using fabulous Dusty Attic's chipboards.

Oh how I love to alter different objects, I enjoy it so much!

These couple of Tin Boxes were altered using 2 different rice papers by Craft O'clock, primers, waxes and of course my favorites chippies from Dusty Attic's Industrial and Steampunk collections.

When I say favorites I actually mean great love! We have a strong relationship, me and this lines LOL. Everywhere I use them they seem to line up in a gorgeous cluster. So when ever I mess around and can't decide what I want to create, I turn to my lovely pieces and voila a project is born.

The chippies were colored with impasto pasint and rubed using metalic waxes.

Here are my favorites, used here:

Cog cluster

Jumbo cogs 10pk

Web flourish

Spiders 2

Mini lizards

Moments - Anat Weksler

 Hello crafty friends!

It's Anat here with my new project using fabulous Dusty Attic's Chipboards - a Pocket Planner.

To create this textured cover I used a few mediums like: Crackle Paste, Sand Paste and Mini Art Stones. When dry I brushed on top Fantasy Effect Paste and sprayed over my eternal love - Lindy's Cowabunga Copper Spray.

Chipboards were made to embellish this kind of planners -  not too 3D but very bold and visible, two layers are enough to acheive an impressive outcome, resistant and durable final product when adhering correctly and adding a fixative spray. To complete the composition on the cover I added Mini hardware  Metal elements.

The gorgeous chipboards were sprayed with a few Lindy's Sprays and Dry Brushed with Finnabair's Metalique Paints. 

Here they are:

Industrial scrolls

Number panel-small

Industrial pipes

Mini lizards

Delightfully ordinary moments

I love what I came up with and hope you share this feeling with me!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Summer - Kristy Abela - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hi Dusty Attic lovers.... 

 

 

I was lucky enough to live beside the beach for six years and one of the things I noticed was the grommets hanging down by the river rather than in the surf late in the day. On the East Coast the beach often gets 'blown out' in the afternoon and the surf can be hit n miss. This pic reminded me of the carefree days of evening walks with my boys along the V-wall who thought everything that came out of the ocean was a treasure; and for their Mum, the Cancerian Crab, who believes that the ocean is far more magical at night than the day.

To create this bit of magic I added a spattering of stars in Gold Paste and used a brayer to calm the middle of the page. I didn't want the darkness to dominate . See the pencil mark, that was to act as a guide for my image.

 

 

I added some script stamping to put back into the background what the gesso had taken out and used a texture stamp in a light blue to add some interest.

 

I coloured my chipboard with chalk paint and added some embossing powder to my nets in places to add a weathered look. For my Gecko's I painted them with a thick coat of paint and then used my heat tool to make them bubble and let them cool. This adds a great textured look, perfect for reptiles. 

 

 

Once I was happy I put all my elements together. Have a look at these close ups for the full effect. 

 

Thanks for stopping by to have a look and I hope you get to find a little moonlight magic at the beach.

 

 

 

Here is a list with links to the chipboard I used on the layout to help inspire you. 

Till next time... Hugz from me!
