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

Try it on Tuesday - Use Stencils

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.

GD Berry Bleu 71

 Hi everyone,
I'm very happy and honored about this new GD by
Berry 71 bleu
thank you very much for invinting me :-)

- Books are friends -

a new art journal page in altered art style.

In background I worked with a napkin (books), 

then I used a lot of stencils and stamps.

I love 3D and special effects, here I stamped a face. 

In the upper part I made a cut, used a die for the tag and swirl.

So you can enter in minds of the lady :-)

and my page!

 

 for this page I used for the first time Decoupage Antique as glue 

and Antiquing Cream Titanium white and I must say I was thrilled about the result, you can see a really good aged effect.

The cream is fast drying but can easily be wiped back from undesired areas.

Inspire

Hi everyone,

today a new project from the experimental laboratory ;-) it was my first try with a chalky finish paint. 

What should I say I was thrilled about the matte look in vintage style. I used an old wood hanger, because Upcycling is my second name ;-) .

 Just get started and try out :-)

Supplies

+ distress inks Walnut stain , Faded Jeans

+ chipboards from Creative embellishments

+ Staz on Spiced Chat
+ Viva Decor stamp ''At the seaside''

How I made this:

1. undercoating with Fluid Acrylics Blue green light + Cobalt Teal
2. painted on upper edge with Titanium White
3. after drying, primer with chalky finish Timeless
4. apply crackle glaze -results based on thickness of application
5. after drying use a stencil and stamp
7. use spray paints - here Distress Ink + water + mini Mister
8. finally glue on chipboards

                                                         

 with my first nautical knot ;-)

             crackle glaze -results based on thickness of application

 use brushes or a palette knife
