Today I have a round canvas for you. A full moon in a dark winter sky inspired me to create it. A beautiful tissue paper from Finnabair completed the look. I made a composition of mould figurines and added colours using various acrylic paints. The moons are dancing in a round dance. And I, like a little girl, try to find out their unsolved secrets.
I invite you to watch the video tutorial.

Hello creative friends! I hope you had an amazing festive break and are full of great ideas for the creative year ahead of us!
As part of my new year traditions, I like to spend some time re-organising and tidying my workspace. I love to decorate the storage boxes holding my embellishments and media to make my surroundings as inspiring as possible. I had these three little boxes just waiting for a makeover and I decided Steampunk puzzle box was the way to go!
I began by stencilling onto the HDF boxes to create a little background texture and then built up the details using elements from various moulds and Finnabair mechanicals.
Everything was painted with brown impasto to create a basecoat and then I started to build up the colour using metallic waxes. I added a little Jade impasto to create a patina effect and decided I needed a bolder metallic finish so I reached for the amazing Vintage metallic flakes.
I added a little more impasto patina over the flakes and then used the waxes again to highlight some of the details. The combination of the metallic flakes and waxes creates a great depth of colour and shine.
I have a video tutorial for you here if you’d like to see how I created this:

Hello everyone! It's Anastasia here with the new vintage project and a video tutorial. Finnabair moulds give a lot of opportunities for creativity, and I do like them! This time I will show you how to create an interior pendant using moulds from different sets.
I chose a large frame from Vintage Frames set as the base for my creation and decorated it with small mould casts - moon, wings, gears etc.
I got the primary colour by applying layer by layer of black and white gesso. Liquid Acrylic Paints - Burnt Sienna and Ochre helped me to age the surface a little and gave depth to the layers. To add a soft shine I covered all with White Pearl wax and as finishing touch highlighted some places with Aged Brass wax.
