Chrono Kids: The Clockwork Creators

Image
  Story: In a world of ticking gears and gleaming brass, three young super-cute inventors brilliantly bold, and brimming with curiosity—come together to breathe life into an ancient anniversary clock. With leather-clad hands, denim-covered elbows, and goggles perched upon freckled noses, they dive into a workshop of wonder, wielding tools, vacuum tubes, and steampunk wonders! Description: The Chrono Kids mixed media piece was inspired by an old anniversary clock that I found at a garage sale and some very cool old vacuum tubes and the vision came together. I added metallic and gears moulds and mechanical elements. All elements were painted with acrylic metallic paints. Once the elements were assembled, I used liquid acrylic to deepen shadows. Waxes were added to provide highlights and various colors. The final piece measures 11.5” x 8” x 7”.

Magical Masquerade

Image
  Inspiration:   This is the third in a series of three mixed media pieces inspired by the magnificent masks and costumes from Carnival and Marti Gras. Description : This Magical Masquerade mixed media piece started with the shadowbox and the head piece. I planned the layout of the background elements using wood laser cut scraps, beautiful lace, mechanical gears and metal butterflies. I then stenciled the background using soft gloss gel followed by adhering fine lace, gears, mechanicals, and flower elements with heavy body gel. Heavy white gesso was used to seal all the background elements. Acrylic paints were used to paint the face piece! I blended metallic colors of burgundy, purples and blues for the top and the base. Splatter paint was added to the box top and bottom pieces using various colors of acrylic paint. Furniture good caps were added to the bottom to protect the finish. Metallique waxes were used to give more dimension to the background elements and mask. ...
