Steampunk Owl Mixed Media Canvas

Image
Inspiration: I found this 12” x 12” burlap canvas with clock images on sale at a local craft store. I brought together clock themed items to create a fun composition. I hope this inspires you to create something fun! 😊 Description : I brought together moulds, chipboard, gears, clock parts, mechanicals, and other items adhered to the burlap panel. I then added pebbles, crackle paste, and texture paste. All the three-dimensional items were covered with gesso, then liquid acrylics blended with water. Once dried, I added waxes to highlight the details throughout and finished the piece off by adding acrylic paint platters. The piece measures 12” wide x 12" high x 1.5" thick.

Inspiration: I found this shelf at a garage sale and decided to upcycle it for a rust-inspired project combined with fun gear moulds, 3D-printed gears, mechanicals, and found objects that I had on hand! 😊 . I hope this inspires you to create something fun! Description : I used two-part Amazing Casting Resin to create several gears using Prima Finnabair moulds. I adhered the gears, 3D-printed gears,  mechanicals, and found objects on the shelf with Heavy Body Gel. I applied Prima Finnabair art Extravagance Rust Effect Pastes to give the gears a wonderful rusty look! I covered the shelf using acrylic brown. Last, I sealed the piece with a matte clear coat. The piece measures 24” long x 6.5" high x 6.25" wide.
