Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a small mixed media frame.  

I started by making a background for the frame using a piece of cardboard that I covered with canvas. Then, I primed them both with white gesso.

I selected different sizes of gears and a few leaves from the Botanical Mix chipboards. I primed all the selected chipboards with white gesso. I glued all the elements in place around the photo and added a few flowers as well. 

I colored the gears and botanical mix with the Burnt Umber liquid acrylic and a lot of water. When happy with the result I added some White Gold and Old White waxes. 

I covered the frame with clear gesso. When dry, I colored it with brown and black liquid acrylic paints. Then I dry brush with white gesso to whiten the frame.

To finish, I added some glitter.

Found Objects - Karan Gerber - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hello Creative Friends and welcome back to my mixed media project for Dusty Attic based on this months moodboard.

This months mood board is filled with oranges and browns and a bit of green. I altered a liqueur bottle using some of my favorite mechanical pieces.

I blended in a few industrial pieces on the front and sides of the bottle. 

using mediums from prima, rust, fluid acrylics and wax, i put this together. Layering pieces o the front of the bottle. 

I love how this turned out and it now sits in my scrap space. 

I hope you give this months mood board a try

Trinket box and Tag - Anat Weksler

 

 Hello crafty friends!

It's Anat here, back today to share my project for July - oh boy! how I love  it.

I first made the Box and I liked it so much I decided to make a matching Tag using as a base on of Dusty Attic's Tag-medley set.

Both Tag and Box were made the same way, first I covered them with a fabulous Prima Marketing Tissue paper, than I colored all chipboards with Finnabair's Impasto paints and Matte Waxes. When everything was dry I built the cluster of each.

Here are the fantastic chippies I have used:

Tag-medley

Web flourish

Industrial stars

Anchor #2

Gear corners #3

Foliage #8

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media panel. I promise you this is the last one for this year :)

 I primed the canvas with white gesso. Next, I added randomly plaster and white crackle pastes. When dry, I colored the canvas with black gesso and black liquid acrylic paint. Finally, I added a design with the Ledger stencil. 

I primed all the chipboards with black gesso. I painted the Geo Panel #1with Sparkling Onyx Jewel paste. 

I painted the Gear Corners #2 and one of the Jumbo Cogs #2 with Silver Spoon metallic paint. When dry, I covered them with wax, then with black gesso. I allowed the gesso to dry, then remove it with a paper towel. For the chains and other cogs, I simply waxed them with Old Silver, Brushed Iron, or Old White. 

With a splatter stamp, I added some gilding glue which I covered with silver metallic flakes.

To finish, I added glitters, microbeads, and some Ice Crushed paste.
