Industrial

 

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing my new project as Design Team 

member for 13arts with you all today, 

a standing wooden canvas using paper 

and embellishments from the 

INDUSTRIAL ZONE collection 

and, of course, 13arts products and mediums.

I must admit, as you can see from previous projects, 

I am always drawn to the steampunk and industrial 

elements of this collection and tend to 

use it more than the others.

I love the browns and greys of this collection

which allow you to create anything

you desire.

I prepared this canvas by adhering paper 

from the collection to my canvas with gel medium 

and then gave it a generous coating of clear gesso.

Once the gesso was dry, I diluted a combination of 

Tiger Eye as well as Andalusite Color Glow with 

liquid acrylic medium and added the colour 

around the edges of my canvas, spraying it 

with water to allow the colour to move 

on my canvas.

I then stenciling along the left and right sides 

with modeling paste, allowing it to dry completely.

Once I was sure that everything on the canvas 

was dry, I stamped around the edges with clear 

embossing ink and then added white embossing 

powder, shaking off the excess before heat 

setting with a heat gun.

I painted my resin pieces with black gesso, 

drying it completely before applying the 

same two Color Glows to it.  Once it was all dry, 

I dry brushed everything with white gesso.

I adhered all my pieces to my canvas together 

with ephemera and cut-outs from the collection 

as well as metal cogs and gears.

Some splashes of brown and white completed my project.

Thank you for stopping by.
