It is time for my last project
for the Creative Team. It was a wonderful time and a splendid experience for me. I’m so glad to
have spend this magical era at Finanbair’s court with such merry and
bright companions, sitting around a well set mixed media table...
We shared our art secrets, inspirations and a pure joy of creating. How
lucky I’m to have such beautiful memories to be cherished!
As my farewell post I'd like to present Folk Birds - my alteration of an ordinary metal tin turned into a folky style container.
I started with taking off a label from a tin and cleaning it thoroughly.
Then I glued pages from vintage dictonaries around the tin using
Soft Gloss Gel. Don't try to do it too precisely, a bit of imperfection here and there may only add some artistic value to your work.
When the papers dried, I put a transparent and uneven coat of
White Gesso mixed with the
blue Metallique Art Alchemy paint. Again - not worrying about doing it too perfectly.
I decorated the lid with similar vintage papers and attached a
Mechanical cog.
I cut out and painted two birdy silhouettes and painted them with
Art Alchemy acrylics.
The birds were glued down along with a metal
Tin Heart to the center of the tin.
I doodled a bit and traced their shapes with a black pen and acrylics.
A round
Art Pebble with a piece of vintage paper glued down underneath, was attached to the Mechanical centerpiece on the lid.
To make my tin more textural, I added a pinch of
Mini Art Stones onto chosen areas.
I stamped a few vintage patterns around the focal element. Then I added highlights with delicate brush strokes of
Mica Powders. They stuck perfectly to the previously painted elements.
Before I say goodbye, I'd like to celebrate my great time spent with
Finnabair Creative Team with a gift for you, dear readers. :) I'm giving
away a small part of my creative journey that I’m so grateful for.
