Welcome!
Our June challenge is, as usual...
We welcome all types of projects (except digitally created) and
encourage everyone to join us each month, whether this is your very
first make, or you are an experienced maker, and share your creations.
Show us your tags, cards, canvas, Artist Trading Cards/Coins, art
journal, altered objects - whatever you can imaging that fits our
steampunk/industrial theme. We are in awe of your creative imaginations
and use of materials, and look forward to each challenge to see where
your creative muse took you.
I was inspired to create a wooden sign in mixed media Steampunk style
with one of my favourite themes 'Under the Sea'.
I worked with the Maxi Mould 'Seaworld' and a texture soft mould from Stamperia, black gesso, texture paste, rust effect paste, metallic waxes, grey board, embossing folder, chipboards and cheesecloth.
Tips & Tricks
I used only some individual pieces from the soft mould, cut out some
cardboard embossed pieces and glued all to the edge of the board
texture paste was applied to the remaining areas
two single octopus arms made with air modeling clay
all covered with black gesso
after drying the colouring is done here with Rust effect paste and Metallic waxes
some close up's
My teamies at SASPC have come up with many
inspiring and different versions
on this Steampunk/ Industrial challenge.
