Dragon Eye Box by Jason Duigou

Image
Jason's Inspiration This Dragon Box project was inspired by Joe Rotella at GenCon in Indianapolis in August 2019. Description Using a craft store wooden box with hinges and a clasp, I used modeling compound to sculpt around a dragon eye and created a pattern for the "dragon scales" pattern. After thoroughly drying, acrylic paint was added in layers as well as details. I replaced the craft store hinges and clasp with some that I felt would look better with the piece and added claw feet. I created a "Dragon Map" inside the box and included a Dragon Amulet that I made out of an emblem and chain. Supplies Aves Apoxie Sculpt modeling compound Wooden box from Michael's craft store Clawed Feet from Graphic 34 Acrylic Paints (generic) Dragon Eye from Amazon Parchment Map from a restaurant table cover Dragon Medallion from Hobby Lobby craft store  FOLLOW and LIKE us! #JoeRotella #Plad #ModPodge #G45 #GenCon #mixedmedia #Av...

Steampunk Wine Gift Box by Jason Duigou

Image
Jason's Inspiration: I wanted to transform a solid wood wine box into a fun and unique 3D steampunk themed gift box! Description: I disassembled  a wine gift box hinges and closure, then covered the entire box with various Craftbox Steampunk papers. I used multiple layers popped up to create dimension. I added a wide variety of mechanicals and ephemera for additional depth and intrigue. I was very please at the outcome of this unique piece and look forward to gifting wine in it to someone soon.  Products: Wine Gift Box (wood, leather and cloth with metal accents) from Hobby Lobby Craftbox Steampunk City A4 Designer Pad Craftbox Steampunk City 12 x 12 Paper Collection Craftbox mitFORM Heavy Metals - Steampunk Collection (numerous styles) Tim Holtz Idea-ology Timepieces - Clock Faces (#TH92831) Tim Holtz Idea-ology Mini Gears (#TH93012) Tim Holtz Idea-ology Gadget Gears (#TH93297) Tim Holtz Assemblage 18" Chain - Small Brass Lin...
