An Altered Box For The SASPC Challenge

Hi everyone Dee here with my latest post for the SASPC monthly 

challenge. I have an altered wooden box from left over

Christmas Confectionary.

I started by gessoing the whole box followed by stencilling the 

words & pattern to the corner of the lid with with modelling

 medium next a coat of black acrylic paint.

Once dry I applied weather wood in area's this is done to increase 

the size of the crackle.

Next a coat of crackle paint all over the cover and put

aside to dry

Meanwhile all the Boozybear pieces I coated in powdered rust.

apart from the clock which I used Deco Art texture 

sand paste on.

I left the numbers untextured and coated it all in a coat of Paynes Grey

and Raw Umber Deco art media acrylics,

Once the crackle paint on the box had dried and crackled I applied

very watery washes of Prussian Blue Hue till I was happy 

with the colour.

A further wash of Andy Skinner's dirty wash was applied over the top.

I set the rusty clock on a background of a circle and painted it with

Tourquoise and covering in Deco art Liquid glass.

Inside the box I used about 5 different techniques one would

develop into the next then the next till I was happy 

with the result.

You can just make out the stamps that are used on the base of the

box prior to being painted with crackle paint.

Prussian blue hue was spritzed and run down the sides.

It was all finished off with treasure gold. I hope you have 

all been inspired to join us this month

the challenge is anything goes.

That's it for this month from Sandee & Amelie's
steam punk Challenges.
