Marine Mechanicals with Dusty Attic

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

New awesome marine mechanicals chipboards from Dusty Attic inspired 

me to create two bookends in Steampunk style.

I was especially impressed by the 3d effect. 

You can paint the individual layers in different colors, but also emboss them,

 as I successfully tried here. 

 

I combined faux rust effects with metallic and acrylic paints.

The grunge look is always an adventure

 and always invites you to try it out, love that!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How I began

 

 

1. lowest part was embossed with an Embossing Folder from Sizzix,

painted with Dark Patina Metallic Paint (DecoArt),

added stains with diluted Quinacridone Gold

2. middle part was primed with black gesso,

highlighted with silver wax

 

3.  top part primed with a little bit Texture paste and then painted 

with Quinacridone Gold (DecoArt)

for a greatfaux rust effect

 now you only need to glue the three parts on top of each other

 to create a great 3d effect

Book ends in Altered Art have become a real eye-catcher 

and have already been admired a lot, one of my favourite projects this year.

 

I hope you find inspiration!
