Steampunk Wine Gift Box by Jason Duigou

Jason's Inspiration:

I wanted to transform a solid wood wine box into a fun and unique 3D steampunk themed gift box!

Description:

I disassembled a wine gift box hinges and closure, then covered the entire box with various Craftbox Steampunk papers. I used multiple layers popped up to create dimension. I added a wide variety of mechanicals and ephemera for additional depth and intrigue. I was very please at the outcome of this unique piece and look forward to gifting wine in it to someone soon.

Celestial Voyage: Rocketing Through the Cosmos

Image
  Inspiration: I was inspired by a 3D rocket that I printed on our 3D printer and some beautiful space-themed rice papers. I found a wooden oval box at a garage sale and added a stenciled pattern with gel medium, celestial laser-cut planets, moulds, stars, steampunk elements, and mechanical elements. I was very excited at how it turned out. I hope this inspires you to create something fun!

Magical Mystical Mermaid

Image
Inspiration: I found a mermaid wall hanging at a garage sale and an old project canvas that I put together to upscale them both into an undersea scene. I was very excited at how it turned out. I hope this inspires you to create something fun!  Description : I coated the canvas with wood pieces and painted it with shades of blue and purple. For the background, I used real large sea stars, large seashells, chipboard gears and resin shaped all layered to give it depth. I added Finnabair Firebird Art Alchemy Metallique Wax to the deep blue background to give it a vibrant look. T he metal mermaid was painted in lighter blue-green sea colors. I decorated the mermaid’s hair with beaded necklaces and mini pearls. I decorated the body with chipboard gears, small seashells, small resin shapes, pearls, and mechanicals.

Steampunk Gears Christmas Tree

Image
Inspiration: A colleague of mine at work collects Christmas trees – specifically miniature cone-shaped trees. I decided to create a unique tree based on steampunk gears. I was very excited at how it turned out. I hope this inspires you to create something fun! Description : I created various gears in Adobe Illustrator and cut out chipboard and wood gears on our Glowforge Pro laser cutter. I adhered the chipboard gears of various sizes to the chipboard tree cone that I purchased at Michael’s. I then slid the wood steampunk gears down at various heights on the tree cone. The entire piece was sealed with heavy black gesso. I then brushed gold wax on and then silver over top to provide highlights. Miniature gears were added like ornaments. I used spray glitter on the entire tree and then wrapped it with tiny clear lights.
