Grand Finale SASPC - Lost treasures

 

  Welcome to the

Grand Finale Challenge July/ August 2021,

dear steampunk and industrial style friends!

 I would like to invite you to play along with our two months 
 
 
 It is an "Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial" themed one again and instead of the usual month you have until the end of August to enter up to five (instead of the usual three) entries this time.

I was inspired to create some steampunk pen boxes in altered art. 
 
I rediscovered my creative passion in the last weeks. I simply love to work 
with moulds and modelling clay. 
 
Here is an upcyling idea, I used two simply plastic cups as base
 and modeled with silicone moulds
(from IOD Prima Marketing
Katy Sue Designs).

Desk Organizer - Stamperia Sea World

 Welcome!

 

 Our Winter Special at SanDee&amelie's challenge blog  challenge is, 

as usual... 

 

I was inspired to create a desk organizer in steampunk style.

 

Tips and Tricks

 

I used air drying modelling clay

in order to be able to press the mass well into your shape 

I like to use cake modelling tools



if the out cast has not yet dried properly,

 it can still be easily bent around corners

 Thanks for your visit!

Company Berti Batman

Welcome!

Our October challenge is, as usual...

 We welcome all types of projects (except digitally created) and encourage everyone to join us each month, whether this is your very first make, or you are an experienced maker, and share your creations. Show us your tags, cards, canvas, Artist Trading Cards/Coins, art journal, altered objects - whatever you can imaging that fits our steampunk/industrial theme. We are in awe of your creative imaginations and use of materials, and look forward to each challenge to see where your creative muse took you.

October and yes, just in time for Halloween :-) I was inspired to create a suitabel project, it's an industrial shadow frame. The big Boss Berti Batman - you can see him in forground

 is in a particularly good mood today, 

that means his employees prefer to hide in the last hiding place ;-).



Tips & Tricks

 

I love it to play with 3D effects, 

here I used the a BAT trims (Etcetera Stampers Anonymous)


 

Tim Holtz Retro Typewriter die with structure and metallic paper 



 completed with a written document and some ghosts and bat dies


 the shelf is very easy to create - 

after gluing the trim I could easily attach it to the outside of the shadow frame

 

I used black acrylic paint with a little texture paste

 finally highlighted with silver metallic wax

Mixed Media Steampunk Bottle



  Welcome to our annual Summer Special, dear steampunk and industrial style friends!

 I would like to invite you to play along with our two months 
 It is an "Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial" themed one again and instead of the usual month you have until the end of August to enter up to five (instead of the usual three) entries this time.

I was inspired to create a steampunk bottle in altered art. 
I discovered my new creative passion in the last weeks. I simply love to work 
with moulds and modelling clay. 
Here is an upcyling idea, I used a liquor bottle as base
 and modeled with silicone moulds as well as self  by hand.


 Tips & Tricks 


I used silicone moulds from several brands (Prima Marketing, Katy Sue design, Stamperia)
 and always worked with airdrying modelling clay and construction adhesive.

 I always find it exciting to not only use the casts as a whole, but to share them and puzzle them together in a new way to create completely new pictures and impressions.

 This looks a bit wild at first, but with a good primer it will become respectable again. 
For this I like to use the chalky finish paints from DecoArt.


But modelling by yourself is also fun and reminds you of childhood days, when you liked to play with plasticine.
 These are my first attempts to form corals. 

I formed small balls and drilled holes into them with a wooden rod. The starfish was created with the help of a small plastic ball and a comb, sounds a bit adventurous, but you use it to create the linear structures. I just realized that it would be better to illustrate it with pictures, but as I said the first tries, there are no pictures, but if you are interested, I will do it in a new project.  

As there are many structures and deepenings in the casts, the work
with liquid colours like spray paint or distress ink is always very effective.
For a cool finish look I love to use only some wax cremes,
here Metallic Lustre 'Lavish Green', Champagne Ice and 'Iced Espresso'.

Please have a look and feel you inspired to create your own idea.
We are looking forward to see your new creations!

Sea Call DT Steampunk

Welcome!

Our June challenge is, as usual...

 We welcome all types of projects (except digitally created) and encourage everyone to join us each month, whether this is your very first make, or you are an experienced maker, and share your creations. Show us your tags, cards, canvas, Artist Trading Cards/Coins, art journal, altered objects - whatever you can imaging that fits our steampunk/industrial theme. We are in awe of your creative imaginations and use of materials, and look forward to each challenge to see where your creative muse took you.

I was inspired to create a wooden sign in mixed media Steampunk style
 with one of my favourite themes 'Under the Sea'.


I worked with the Maxi Mould 'Seaworld' and a texture soft mould from Stamperia, black gesso, texture paste, rust effect paste, metallic waxes, grey board, embossing folder, chipboards and cheesecloth.

Tips & Tricks


 I used only some individual pieces from the soft mould, cut out some 
cardboard embossed pieces and glued all to the edge of the board

texture paste was applied to the remaining areas


two single octopus arms made with  air modeling clay


all covered with black gesso

after drying the colouring is done here with Rust effect paste and Metallic waxes
