Welcome creative friends!

I love projects with a 3D depth and wanted to make a shadow frame from a canvas.

As you could already see in my last project,

I love the combination of the sea theme with a touch of steampunk,

today a new inspiration with some casts, MDF shapes and a wonderful delicate background paper.

I created in a vintage grunge style in rust optic.

Tips & Tricks

1 I used a discarded wedge frame that our kids didn't want to paint, with a cutter knife I cut out the middle part

2 I wanted a very old frayed edge and used a burning candle

3 I glued on some matching parts, matching the mdf jellyfish also cats that were made with the help of moulds

4 now everything was primed with a finish chalky paint (DecoArt 'Yesteryear')

5 leave to dry thoroughly

6 I added some paper colored laser cuts

Nautical Multi Frame

7 firstly I added Crackle Glaze, into the still wet medium I sprinkled some mini Artstones on some

places

8 after drying I highlighted the frame with brown and black metallic waxes and glued a curved paper

band on the frame

9 finally some natural elements like sea shells, lichens, gauze and some Artstones

some close up's
