Jason's Inspiration: This fun album set was designed and taught by the talented Martha Tucker ! Thank you Martha Tucker and Irina Blount for your unique products, super fun projects and amazing classes! Since Nanci and I both took the same La-La Land Crafts "Interactive Albums in a Box" project virtual class, I chose to make mine Steampunk themed using Stamperia's Mechanical Fantasy papers and miscellaneous ephemera.

It measures approximately 6" X 5.25" X 7.25" and is glued to a small revolving Lazy Susan base. On both sides of the revolving box there are two 2.5" X 6.5" X 5" openings that house interactive albums. The albums measure: 5.5" X 6.5" and have a 2.5" spine.

Under the Sea Steampunk Box by Jason Duigou

Image
Jason's Inspiration: I wanted to create an underwater themed storage box with many of the underwater themed moulds I'd purchased. Description: I used a craft store wooden box with hinges and a clasp. I then used a fish net for the background texture. On top of that, I built up layers using various moulds. I covered everything in gesso to seal and prime the project, then added various acrylic paints and finished off with waxes.

Sea Treasure Chest by Jason Duigou

Image
Jason's Inspiration: I wanted to create a Treasure Chest project many of the nautical-themed moulds I'd recently purchased and to  showcase my love for mixed media and steampunk. Description: I added images created from casting Décor moulds from Re-design by Prima, Stamperia and Haley Sue Designs to create an underwater sea chest. Rope, cogs and metal flowers were also added and painted with crackle and texture paints to add to the craggy underwater feel of the overall design. The piece was finished with the addition of Silver and Purple Metallique Waxes by Art Alchemy to bring out more of the subtle textures. The inside of the chest is also painted with shades of brown to simulate a worn weathered wood. The chest is hinged and closes with a latch on the front of the chest.
