Hi all

I have a new tutorial showing you how to create this steampunk wall hanging.

Baked Texture Chunky Rust

Baked Texture Patina Oxide

Burnt Copper Leaves Embossing Powder

Hammered Metal Embossing Powder

Baked Texture Tao Sunset

Paint the wings with black metallic paint and sprinkle on the embossing powder before it dries. Repeat this process with the cogs and word.

Paint the base and then add a texture paste before adding the embossing powder and melting it.

Keep adding layers of embossing powders and then start adding micro beads into the mix to layer up the texture. once everything has set, start gluing down the layers of cogs and the wings. Add pearls, charms and beads to the project to finish it.

Bleeding Art Challenge Rusty Picture Frame

Hello all

It is time for a new challenge over at Bleeding Art and this month the theme is Anything Goes.

I altered a picture frame which must of been lying around the house sor 4 years lol. I am determined to use up all this stuff.

I used DecoArt Texture Sand Paste, Quinacridone Gold Acrylic, Black gesso and Americana Decor Metallics Bronze.

First paint the whole frame in black gesso as this will stop the paint coming unstuck.

Once that has fully dried,Paint over a coat of bronze paint. It doesn't matter if a bit of the black gesso is showing as this adds to the grungy look. Finally take the texture sand paste and add it to the details on the frame. Paint the textured bits with quincodone gold paint.

Gecko Galz Steampunk Artist Trading Block

Hello all

This week i have a Artist Trading Block to share using digital papers and collage sheets from Gecko Galz.

Products used

Steampunk Digital Paper Pack

Time Flies Digital Collage Set

Curiosity Shop Digital Craft Kit

DecoArt Texture Sand Paste

DecoArt Quincodone Gold Premium Acrylic Paint

ATB 3 inch and 5 inch Fernli Designs

I started off by using a square cutting die to cut out the paper pack to fit the ATB.

Next i added texture sand paste around the edges of the block and once set, i painted it with Quinacridone Gold Acrylic Paint.

I repeated the previous steps with the wings and clock parts too.

I then cut out the clocks and glued them on.

 Then added the rusted embellishments.

I reused a cotton bobbin that i had lying around from an old project. Ijust painted the top and base before adding the doll to the top. I added a large blob of texture sand paste and then pressed a piece of MDF in so i could prop the doll up.
