Hello Friends, Welcome to my blog!! Today am sharing an altered art project with you all. I have altered an empty salt tin into a mixed media pen stand.
This project is inspired from Ola Khomenok's tutorial on altered bottle. I first gave two thick coats of gesso to the tin and started working on the textures. The ideas to make different textures was inspired from Maremi small art. Initially I created textures using stencil and texture paste. Then mixed seed beads , urad dal and fenugreek seeds with texture paste and applied randomly. Stuck some lace and thread and glued the handmade flowers( made using recollections 5 petal punch) The feather is hand cut from watercolor paper. Finally covered the embellishments and textures using diluted gesso.
Once everything is dried I started working on mists and sprays. I used home made shimmer spray of crimson color as the base coat. Then dabbed some metallic red and copper color paint here and there finally dry brushed using old gold metallic paint. Added some dots using liquid pearls.
Now this salt tin is ready to decorate my craft table as I will be using it to store my brushes and tools. Hope you all liked this post. See you soon with another post. Have a great weekend!!
