Finnabair inspired mixed media canvas

I'm a huge fan of Finnabair and i love her mixed media collages, and it was time to give this a try.
I printed a picture of me on photo paper and glued it with gel medium on a canvas in size of 18x24cm.
As the first step i used fixative spray to protect the picture and black gesso to prepare the rest of the canvas.
Then i started to build my composition with metal embellishments, chipboardpieces and other small embellishments. After i glued all pieces with gel medium, i covered them with black gesso. As last step i added some artalchemy paints and white gesso to hightlight everything.
products i used:
Amsterdam black gesso
Amsterdam extra heavy gel medium
metal embellishments from Retrokraftshop
chipboards from Snipart
Finnabair artalchemy paints:
'deep water', 'opal magic pink blue', 'opal magic aqua rose' 'white pearl'
Amsterdam white gesso

    I always show my project with photos because it is stained. If I understood correctly. you put some fixative for pastel for example, to protect your photo?

steampunk style with texture

Bild
hi dears, i'm back with a new creation. This time i wanted to make a steampunk canvas, but i wanted to make something with lots of texture again,as well. So, why not combine both? So i started with applying a thick layer of crackle paste by  finnabair   and let it dry natural for a fiew hours. Then i built the composition with chipboard pieces, metal embellishments, dried roots and this cute face- this is made from paper clay by using a silicon mould. I played with different colors, first lindys magicals for the backround (steampunk sepia and shabby turbine teal) then i added finnabairs artalchemy paint 'mermaid teal' and 'emerald green' deluted with water and off course 'steampunk copper' should not be missing for this project.  to give it more texture i applied rustpaste (again finnabair) and some colored mica flakes and xs micropheres in old gold from 13@rts. Thanks for watching, i hope you like it
