Believe yourself

Hello everyone!

 I was inspired to create a new mixed media project in industrial grunge style.

Have you seen the big variety of industrial and geometric chippies
at Dusty Attic?!
A lot of awesome pieces, very exciting and inspiring
for create three dimensional effects.

 I'm a typical crafter who can't throw away anything, 

so I also used the negatives (remnants) for this project. They frame my canvas very well.

some close up's

I had to put the Industrial corners at the center of my project
and I used them as frame of this expressive picture

Twisted Iron #2 
I've divided it into several pieces.

in two different versions
once with black acrylic paint and once with silver embossing powder

Firstly I painted the chippies with a copper metallic paint,
the gears were additionally decorated with a special embossing powder.
 It is called 'Hammered Metal' from Emerald Creek Dares.

I also love to layer several parts on top of each other
especially good works with gearwheels

I also cut the arrow into two pieces.

the background of the canvas was coloured with my favourite chalky paint 'Vintage' (DecoArt)
an amazing old green colour

I want to share this
