Dream Without Fear by Martina Stoycheva

Hello everyone and Happy New Year!

It`s time for new beginnings, new projects and new ideas.

I created a canvas as my first inspiration this month in warm brown, combined with copper accents. 

To create a simple composition, I used some castings, Mechanicals and various sizes of mélange pebbles. As a base, I glued part of Romantica decorative rice paper with Soft Matte Gel.

My finishing touches as always are dry brushing and sponge dabbing with gesso.

I wish you a happy year and endless inspiration!

Hugs, Martina.

Time window by Kasia Salmanowicz

Hello,

I welcome you in the New Year. Time passes, and brings changes and new experiences. In my first project in January, I wanted to emphasize this passage of time... that's why you will find clock faces on the window-shaped base. I invite you to a video tutorial where you can see all the details step by step.

At the beginning, I glued two layers of my HDF base and painted the whole base with white gesso. Then I chose beautiful clay elements from Finnabair moulds. I also used metal accessories such as twigs and flowers.

I glued everything with Heavy Body Gel and after thorough drying, I coloured it with 4 colours of paints from the Liquid Acrylic Paint series. To add shine, I used Golden Dragon paste with beautiful foil particles and the addition of glitter. The whole is heavily bleached with white gesso.

Happy New Year,

Kasia Salmanowicz

Empress of Wasted Time Headpiece by Kesho Kage

Hello wonderful Creators, with the end of the year racing towards us I wanted to bring the concept of wasted time into a character! 

This Dark Empress feeds on all the time we waste throughout the year and her headpiece transfers those seconds, minutes, hours, days into energy that allows her to indulge in her deepest, Darkest desires!

This character is to spark the realization that we need to be more mindful of the time we waste and where does all that time go! A year can go as fast as it comes and with 2023 coming in a few hours I think we should cherish every second we get, our keep giving it away, powering Something else’s wildest dreams instead of your owns!
