Celestial Rust - Finnabair Creative Team

The base of this small assemblage is a wooden tray that actually used to be a cheese packaging... 

You can find quite unusual art materials being an upcycling lover, don’t you think?

I started with applying a thick coat of Modeling Paste onto the tray’s surface. Its sticky consistency perfectly grabbed a spoonful of both sorts of Art Stones – these tiny and bigger ones. Modeling Paste may also serve as a great adhesive – a trio of washers from the Mechanicals collection was firmly attached to its place. Then I fixed two rusty stars to the tray’s edges.

When the composition was dry, it was painted with Brass and Copper Art Alchemy Paints. I also enhanced the dimensional effect with light hand brush strokes in Blueberry and Navy shades.

In the meantime I boosted the textural effect by adding a pinch of Micro Beads around the washers. I glued down some astrology related graphics underneath Art Pebbles and attached them to the Mechanicals thanks to Heavy Body Gel. My celestial work was ready!
