tiny art on a puzzle piece

hi everyone! I love tiny creations, i created tiny bottles, tiny art journal pages, tiny canvases.. now it was time to find another small surface to work with. I wanted to turn puzzle pieces into fridge magnets and I played with several elements around - small gears would be perfect as embellishments, so i had found the style for it. But what next? I spend some hours with experimenting and searching for a nice composition, and suddenly i found it... i thought about this one photo of my boyfriend, i wanted to use for a mixed media project. Yes, this would be great for a steampunk creation and i decided to create a tiny layout on a puzzle piece.
I wrote the lyrics of one of our favorite songs on an old book page and glued it on the puzzle piece. I applied a coat of gel medium as a sealer. To give this project a little bit texture, i mixed finnabair artalchemy paint 'steampunk copper' with extra heavy gel medium and applied this paste through a stencil to my background. After it was dry, i used blue patina paste deluted with water for a little bit color. I glued all elements with gel medium and added rust paste gently with a small brush.

Products i used:
gel medium/extra heavy gel medium - amsterdam
stencil - 13@rts
patina paste/rust paste - finnabair
gears/brads - finnabair/ retrokraftshop
title - tim holtz ideology

thanks for watching😊

Finnabair inspired mixed media canvas

Bild
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

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
