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. I was very excited at how it turned out. I hope this
inspires you to create something fun!
Description: This one-of-a-kind Celestial Voyage: Rocketing Through the Cosmos mixed media art piece began with a 3D printed rocket. I found an oval wood box at a garage sale. moulds, chipboard, mechanical gears and screw heads. I applied various acrylic paints and splatter effects. Burnt Siena liquid acrylic was added to give depth to the piece. I textured the laser cut wood planets using soft gel and an amazing Rocket Science Stencil by Finnabair. I used various Sparks, Metallique and other paints to give it depth and pops of color. Under illuminated the planets to give the piece some additional intrigue. The final piece measures 16” x 6” x 5.5”.
