Dream Catcher

Hello Dear Friends!

Let's start the New Year with a very special project.
How about instead of making resolutions (let's be honest - who ever keeps them...? ;) ) we create some inspiring Art?

Our sweet Marta had an awesome idea to store all the dreams, hopes, things you are grateful for, words of wisdom, precious memories - the list of the possibilities is endless and we hope you will feel inspired!

Hello everyone,
Welcome in the New Year! Is the time going so fast for you, too?
I would like to take a moment here and wish you that this year will be the most creative and filled with special moments.
I would also like to thank you for amazing support for the past few months. Your presence on Finnabair's blog to see her Creative Team projects means a lot to us.
Your comments add wings and motivate to create special pieces just for you.

Today's project is special for me.
It's an altered treasured box.
It's a metaphor box, I placed there my personal dreams and hopes for 2015.

If you're curious, here's what the box looked like before I used plenty of delicious mixed media products. :)

Plain and boring, right? I really needed it to be magical and inspiring and you will see in my video tutorial below how I transformed the box.

My first base coat was made with White Crackle Texture Paste and then I added Mechanicals from Finnabair and some metal pieces from my own stash - all glued with super strong 3D Gloss Gel.

I also glued some paper flowers and some Glass Glitter, Glass Beads and Mica Flakes again using 3D gloss gel.

The whole piece was covered with Heavy Gesso and painted with sprays from Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays and ColourArte Silks.

I hope you will find my special treasure box inspiring. I wonder what you would put into yours... :)

And here's the promised video:

Feel inspired and get crafting!

Hugs,

Marta xx
