Toy Elephant by Lanette

Hello All, You Amazing Creative People!

Today I am sharing a tiny, wooded Elephant that I altered using a mix of fun embellishments and Finnair’s stunning Metallic Waxes. 

 I am very happy with how this little Elephant turned out and I hope you like him too!

If you would like to see how this tiny Toy Elephant came together you can watch my process start to finish over on the Finnabair YouTube channel.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope I have inspired you in some small way to spend some creative time in your art space!!

Until next time, Hugs & Have FUN Creating!

Lanette

Freak Show Altered Teapot by Reniferove

October is definitely my favourite month. It's the middle of autumn, and it's still warm outside, but more and more often the weather is quite dark, foggy and very moody. And of course, Halloween. This is the moment when I can, with a clear conscience, let my imagination run wild and release all the weird freaks that live in my head all year long. 

This year I am taking you to the Cabinet of Curiosities, a freak show where you will find all the weirdness of this world.

Mechanical Aquarium by Lori Woods

Hello creative friends! I recently found an old clock in a thrift store with amazing gears and pieces. I knew I wanted to make it into something special so when I got out my Finnabair Alarm Clock frame, an idea begin to form in my head. What a perfect base for a mechanical aquarium!

I created lots of texture on the metal frame using stencil, sand paste and art stones to create an aged effect. Mould elements combined with clock parts gave the frame a more mechanical style. I used metallic waxes to give a base colour and then impasto and liquid acrylic paints to add areas of detail.

 I coloured mould pieces with Sparks paints and liquid acrylics to give my aquarium elements vibrant colours and then layered these with clock gears to create the underwater scene.
