Dress up set 

Vintage dress form

wing it chipboard wings

 

I start off painting the whole base white with gesso, I cut off the feet and glued them through my resin gears

Next I'm taking this fantastic vintage paper and decoupaging it to stone paper. this will be cut down to make the dress! 

As you see, I have added paper to the wings and painted them green.

Along with painting the dress form green as well!

now to the fun stuff!!! I took Decoart Antiquing cream covered everything. let that dry a minute and wipe the access off with a babywipe.

Now to just assemble!

Shabby Chic? Altered Dessert plate!

Hiya! Happy Friday! Today I am gonna show you how I designed this dessert plate! Project for My Rusty Crown DT

Well your gonna need a plate LOL I didnt prep it at all but, you totally could add texture with a stencil or crackle pastes!

So I got out all my embellishments,my main ones at least, I coated my Prima resin pieces with clear gesso and went about gluing them down with heavy Body Gel.

I used Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Shakers in colors (Delicate Blossom) (Rich Wine) (Grass Green) and (Bright Sunshine). These little jars have a shaker top, so easy to sprinkle on.. After I Sprinkled my colors I lightly sprayed them with water and dried with a heat gun, I did each color separately.

Here Is what It looked like right after drying, I purposely shook some on the other side of the plate for a cute splatter effect. I Took a dry brush and dry brushed  on some white gesso to bring all of the texture to the surface. I then added (Blush Haze) Holographic Glitterbitz  and Prills in ( Coral See). for the last added touch I took (White Gold) Prima Finnabair Metallique wax half way around the edge of the plate.

Done!

Stampotique Altered Vinyl Record

Hello! Hi!  Today I'm showing you my process on altering this Vinyl Record.

I start by using a Stamperia stencil and modeling paste

 I get all my bits and bobs out and give them all a good layer of white Gesso

I'll have the links below with everything I used,the foliage is from a Tim Holtz die set. 

Now I start my composition by gluing it all down with gel medium.

                                         Now for Color!!!! Its always my most favorite part!

I went super colorful with this one! I used Dylusions some  Cosmic Shimmer Shakers and Tattered Angels color wash

Now here I add white dry brush. When your using colors that are water reactive you really need to make sure the whole thing is super dry!

I added Oh Jackie and then some white splashes and call her done!

Steampunk Styled Top Hat

Steampunk Hat anyone? I haven't posted anything in a while So I'm starting the new year off with a bang!

I found this hat at My local craft store, Snowman Hat? NOT what I'm doing LOL

This hat Is about 6 inches high,and when I'm done the light bulb makes it 10.

                             I cut out some gears using my sizzix machine, I just used old cereal boxes.

I went crazy gluing them all over the whole thing

 Here I used different sized little cups and dipping cups to make the googles, This one I used some old mesh and layered the cups. Using Prima Finnabair Art Basics Heavy Gel medium. Them a heazy spread of Black gesso!

 Here you can see a little better how I layered the cups, I added a chipboard gear and a huge metal gem I used the same heavy gel medium to glue it all together. I used a piece of Velcro for the strap in-between them both.

Now I'm just adding plastic pipes and more gears

I took an old lightbulb and colored it with Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink In Honey Comb

Another layer of Black Gesso

Here I added a strip of foam and added flat gems for the back strap to the goggles

I added more metal and glued the light bulb to the top of the pipe.

And Now its time to bring this baby to life! the only coloring on this whole hat are these little four waxes! powerful little things and I adore them! Prima Finnabair Art Alchemy Metallique wax! I used Vintage gold,Bronze age,Brushed Iron and Rich Copper!

 I also added in Emerald Creek Factured Ice embossing powder into this goggle eye, It really gave a blue effect I was looking for!

This Clock piece on top I poured resin in a fantastic Stamperia mould to make

Okay I went a little Picture overboard!
