Mixed Media Floral Folded Book

Mixed Media Floral Folded Book

Inspiration: At a Pinner's Conference we created a floral folded book. I decided to take that and combine it with some super fun mixed media elements! 😊. I hope this inspires you to create something fun!

Description: I took the folded book folding art piece and added a textured background with Art Basics Soft Body Gel and a floral stencil. I then added lace and various Prima Marketing Redesign Mould pieces made from resin adhered with Heavy Body Gel. I then colored the covers using Art Alchemy Liquid Acrylics. Gold wax was used to highlight the three-dimensional elements. Paint splatter and threads were added to further decorate the book. The piece measures 8.5" x 7" x 6".

Celestial Voyage: Rocketing Through the Cosmos

  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.

Magical Mystical Mermaid

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.

For the background, I used real large sea stars, large seashells, chipboard gears and resin shaped all layered to give it depth.

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.
