NICOLA ALLEN

Would you like to win some steampunk bits to use on your own printer tray? yes? i have a little giveaway just for my blog readers, simply comment on my blog and a winner we be picked at random.
Plus the winner will also receive a 10% discount to use on the Artful Days website www.artfuldays.co.uk
Giveaway closes at midnight on Saturday 18th August. Good Luck.
I cut some of the partitions away with scissors to create bigger boxes and then painted the whole thing with gesso and then copper acrylic paint.
Next i gave it a coat of rust paste and texture paste to add the rust effect.
Once the box is painted you can start arranging the pieces into the boxes. I added cog charms and other metal charms to the boxes
I used plastic skull beads and painted them to match the box
You can fill these little bottles with micro beads and other tiny bits to create curios.
Thank you for visiting

DeleteI love this, been a while since I have seen this sort of altered art piece, and I find them so inspiring! The individual parts are so cool to start with and it looks like you enjoyed making it too? I have so many random bits and bobs I intended to use for a project like this, but they alas, are still hanging about. Thanks for the boost in motivation and inspiration! Annabel x
