Celestial box by Iveta Ziedina

 Hello!

It’s been a while since I created something celestial - so I just couldn’t help myself! Here comes my August project Celestial-inspired decoupage wooden box.

I hope you will enjoy watching the video showing the process of creation for this little project and maybe make something like this yourself!

Lots of love,

Lighthouse at night by Anastasia Korvyakova

Hi everyone! As you know Finnabair moulds always provide a huge selection of elements to bring any idea to life. I had no doubt that the gears and metal embellishments I chose were exactly what I needed to create the project I imagined.

I very often take a lot of different paints and apply them layer by layer until I get the surface I need. In this project, I was working with my favourite Opal Magic Paint (I used Blue-Gold colour) and Metallic Paints – Mermaid Teal, Dragonfly, Stormy Ocean, and Golden Moss. I applied them to the elements and a little to the background in a mix with water.

I created pattern on background with Tiger’s Eye Stones Jewel Effect Paste and Gothic Stencil. My favorite Rust Effect Pastes – Brown and Red - helped me to add texture on gears and give them rusty look.

I also used several waxes: Mystic Turquoise and Green Patina to give the elements more colour and Burshed Iron, Vintage Gold, Rich Copper, Red Amber, Aged Brass to give a metallic shine.

Watch more details in video tutorial I prepared for you, I hope you like it -
