Travel Time

Hi everyone,

today a new Art Journal page suitable on this time,
somehow you get the impression all are on traveling, or ;-) 

I would also like too, but it does not always go according to wish.

But in my creative world I can do this as often and as much as I want.

 Journey talk

I used the Cargo Stencil, the symbols stands for whereas,
how far,
how expensive ....

 I have used the Monoprint Technique 48 in Tim Holtz's Compendium of Curiosities Vol 3 book

and I think I must used it more often until I'm satisfied with the result.

Behind the Mask

Hi everyone,

today a new Mixed Media Collage to  theme  

'Masks' by The Mirror Crack'd

I use the theme on canvas in two versions, 
once as gothic mask and as stamp technique (face and clocks)

faux crack'd glass technique on foil over the stamped eye

  Mask technique with two stamps 

1. stamp the face 2x (once of your background and the other of thin paper)

2. cut out one face, this piece you must put on the other face

3. with this mask you can stamp over this

 4. remove the mask and voila the result

The bug's life

Hi everyone,

I'm always fascinating from the Steampunkworld. 

With Steampunk I have found one of "my" perfect genre - as it combines nostalgia, vintage and the idea of using future technology in a  brave new world! 

  

  

The result is a new variety from beetles, dragonfly and turtle,  

which can be seen even in the dark very well :-)

 

Tutorial and Ideas 

for several structures

1. Stencil + Crackle paint

2. Stencil + Gesso

3. Embossing folder + metal embellishments

4. Pearlliner

added cardboard + pearls + dies 

painted a part of image with black gesso

use spray paints + stencils as mask

 use metallic paint Fluid Acrylics Silver + old gears from mechanical clockworks

beetles are from toy shop (silicone)

                                                 beetle from stencil and his brother in 3D

 Inventive genius and adventurous romance are 

what makes Steampunk so very special and exciting to me.
