Little Red Riding Hood Diorama - Fiona Paltridge

Hello DA fans, Fiona here with you today to share a little creation I have made using the Dusty Attic Chippy and glorious Colours!




  I started by adding some old book pages and music pages to a 6x6 piece of 3 ply. I adhered them on and then gave them a quick little gesso wash to give them some tooth and a white wash effect.



 Then I went to work drawing and painting my Little Red Riding Hood. I topped her off with a little crown that I added some gold paint to.




 Next I worked on my little wolfie! Again adding some of the Dusty colour to bring him to life!



 The Small Woodlands 6x6 chipboard piece fitted perfectly onto my background. I simply used some of the Dusty Attic Colours to make it look more wood like. 



 You can see here in the close up the layers added one over the other to create a wood appearance on the chipboard. I finished the whole piece off by spilling a bottle of crackle all over it! yep .... not intentional but hey we can roll with that. I hope you like my little diorama. It came up really well in the end, spilled crackle and all! 

 These are the Dusty Attic products used

Believe in Magic - Nadya Drozdova

Hello everyone! I am very happy to be here with you and show you my new LO with the best chipboard ever)))
 I took the "Heart Swirly" and covered it with Dusty acrylic paints using mix of two colors. Then added a top coat of  Dusty Attic Crackle varnish. 


For the back ground I used 7 DotsStudio sheet, that I made more interesting with pastes, stamps and embossing powders.


Dusty Attic blooms are perfect for my project, also i used Prima Marketing flowers and an  old collection of paper for back layers. 


I added Prima Marketing Art stones, sequins and  different beads as accents.
Thank you for watching! 
I wish you all good mood and a lot of inspiration!

January winner and "art" Altered Paintbrush Sanderijn de Bruin

Hi everybody!
So excited, my first post as a Dusty girl!
I have been wanting to alter a brush for quite some time now, and now I finally decided, let's do this!
I used one of my favorite chippies from The Dusty Attic, the Lacey Trims, which I love to use to create an elegant and balanced composition.

I started with Creative Script Stencil and modelling paste on my canvas.
Meanwhile I painted the chipboard and brush with white gesso. I painted the flower too.
When all was dry I glued them on my canvas with 3d gloss gel.
Then I used on the chipboard and brush Clear Crackle Varnish 
When this had dried for more than 24 hours I added another layer of white gesso on the whole canvas, chipboard and brush.
The mechanical metal embellishments didn't get such a tick layer, just a little bit of gesso.

I glued them at the end of the painting process on the brush and canvas.

When all was dry I sprayed the canvas with water and started dripping Lindy's Time Travel Teal with a brush on it.
I did that too with Magical powder Steampunk Sepia on some parts.
I do not have any rusty effect paste, but I did wanted to give some parts that rusty look, so I used Finnabair mica powder gold and art alchemy acrylic paint steampunk copper and ancient gold, to give the rusty parts more shine and depth. The lighter blue parts got a little extra paint, light patina.



I was inspired by the gorgeous brown, white, teal and rusty colors from the
January challenge at Mixed Media Place



Thank you for watching!
Love, Sanderijn
