Spooky Witch Hat Mountain

Spooky Witch Hat Mountain by Jason Duigou with Duigou Designs

Inspiration: I found this paper Mache witch hat and thought of bringing all kinds of fun items in our stash to create this unique fun and spooky piece. I hope this inspires you to create something fun! 😊

Description: Halloween shapes were cut on our Glowforge laser cutter on chipboard from vector art created in Adobe Illustrator. These pieces were glued them along with a host of other Halloween inspired chipboards, ephemera, and other items. I coated everything in Black Heavy Gesso and wove the mini-LED lights throughout. I then added three-dimensional items including a miniature weathervane that I twisted and wrapped bones with wire onto it. Black Sand Texture Paste was then added all over the brim of the hat to pull the piece together. Then applied liquid acrylics and acrylic paint in hues of blues and purple to give it a gothic nighttime feel. Waxes and acrylic paints were added to highlight the three-dimensional textures and details. It was finished by adding acrylic paint splatters. The piece measures 10” wide x 10" deep x 8.5" high.

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.

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.
