Hello Everyone!
Today’s creation is based on an interesting idea. I don’t know how familiar you are with the tools needed for 3D printing, but the filament is stored on this cylindrical object. And it occurred to me, why not make something out of it? 😀 If I make more of them, even with my own photos, they will look great on the wall. 😊

First, I covered the thick cardboard with white gesso. Then I chose Warwick Gardens paper from the Butterfly Effect collection and applied transparent gesso to it. Transparent crackle paste was next, so as not to cover up the paper pattern too much, as this is one of my favourites.

I chose cogwheels as an addition, because what else could you expect from me if not a stampunk style creation 😀 Paper texture paste was my best choice for covering mould elements. For colouring I used Finnabair Liquid Acrylic paints in the following colours: Burnt Sienna, Fresh Mint, Avocado Green and True Yellow. I applied Burnt Sienna to the chipboard gears.

On paper, I emphasized the cracks with Burnt Sienna and Carmine Liquid Acrylic paint.
I also used tags and cut-outs from the Butterfly effect collection.
The photo is from Arthousewhimsy’s Artistic Film Project Part 2 collection.

Have a nice day, filled with creative activities.
