Steampunk Owl Mixed Media Canvas


Steampunk Owl Mixed Media Canvas by Jason Duigou with Duigou Designs

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.

Celestial Voyage: Rocketing Through the Cosmos

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.

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.

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.
