Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new 13arts mixed media project with you all today.

For this project, I used the reverse of a wooden canvas and paper and elements from 

one of my favourite collection - Mr Handsome.

I love the masculine feel of this collection which allows for rusts, metals 

and a real grungy feel.

I found these thin, coloured metal sheets at one of the art stores in Cape Town 

and decided to use a piece of the gold one on my project, running it through 

an embossing folder and then lightly sanding the raised areas.

Once I had assembled all of my elements, including the resin pieces, 

I used 13arts Rusty Bronze Powder on my composition as follows:

💛 I added gel medium where I would like the rust to be,
💛 sprinkled the rust powder onto the gel medium, and then
💛 sprayed the Rust Reagent onto the rust powder, allowing it to activate.

I also added gold gilding flakes to some of the areas to highlight the details

as well as gold paint and a mix of turquoise and green watercolour paint 

to add to the rusty effect.

I added chipboard pieces as well as ephemera and clear foil from 

Mr Handsome to my project.

Some products used on this project include ... 

I hope that you like this project and are inspired to create one of your own.

Until next time!

💛
