You shine

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new project for 13arts with you all today,

a mixed media wooden canvas as inspiration for the 

June Mood Board Challenge on Instagram.

For this project, I used papers and embellishments 

from the steampunk INDUSTRIAL ZONE collection.  

I love the elements of this collection which are 

perfect for this month's mood board.

I prepared the background of my project by adhering 

paper from the collection onto my canvas and 

giving it a good coating of clear gesso.

I then stenciled onto the edges my canvas of my 

canvas with gel medium and then added Rusty 

Bronze Powder to the gel medium while it was wet, 

shaking off all of the excess powder.

I then added the Reagent to the powder allowing 

it to turn the powder into a rust effect and 

left it to dry completely.

I also combined Golden Calcite Color Glow

powder to gel medium and stenciled around the 

edges of my canvas, dragging some of the product 

along the edges with my spatula.

Resin embellishments were painted with Golden Calcite 

as well as Andalusite Color Glows combined with 

liquid acrylic medium.

Gel medium, Rusty Bronze Powder as well as Reagent 

were also added to the bottom of the bulb as well as 

some of the resin embellishments.

Chipboard embellishments were painted with 

Andalute Color Glow combined with liquid acrylic medium 

to give them the silver/brown effect.

Once everything had been adhered to my canvas,

I gave most of the embellishments a light 

dry brush of white gesso.

I hope that this project has inspired to create 

one of your own for this month's 13arts challenge.
