Steampunk Mechanical Fantasy Interactive Albums in a Box (on swivel base) by Jason Duigou

Jason's Inspiration: This fun album set was designed and taught by the talented Martha Tucker! Thank you Martha Tucker and Irina Blount for your unique products, super fun projects and amazing classes! Since Nanci and I both took the same La-La Land Crafts "Interactive Albums in a Box" project virtual class, I chose to make mine Steampunk themed using Stamperia's Mechanical Fantasy papers and miscellaneous ephemera. I created a laser cut cog cutout on the front covers as well with my Snapmaker 350.

Description:
The box is built from chipboard and wrapped in black cardstock. It measures approximately 6" X 5.25" X 7.25" and is glued to a small revolving Lazy Susan base. On both sides of the revolving box there are two 2.5" X 6.5" X 5" openings that house interactive albums. The albums measure: 5.5" X 6.5" and have a 2.5" spine.

These albums are designed to stick out from the storage box approximately 1/2" to make it easier for removal. They are made from chipboard wrapped in black cardstock and decorated with Stamperia papers. Each page has been designed by Martha Tucker to feature a waterfall, tuck, flap, twist, end pockets, top pockets and so much more!

I purchased a 3" revolving Lazy Susan base from hardware store and attached to the bottom of the project for easy access to the albums on either side. :-)

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. I added Finnabair Unicorn Effect Paste to give the mermaid an iridescent glittery look and finished the piece with splatter paint. The final piece measures 23.5” x 11” x 1.5”.

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.
