STEAMPUNK JEWELLERY BOX..

 Hello everyone,

I have a fun project to share, it was a commission project and I was supplied with the box and could do whatever floated my boat as long as it had a steampunk vibe and fit for jewellery..

This was the box with its first coat of gesso..

and coated over and over with gesso to cover the bright colours,

 inside and outside..

That was not working too good so fished out my patterned tissue paper

 and covered it with that..

and that worked well..

Then lined the box with patterned papers..

Then came making die cut cogs and wheels look aged and rusty

using water paints..

A chipboard balloon, painted, with added string running down for dimension..

and then the funniest thing happened..

.there was a reaction with the products I used

Looks very cool..I think it was a spray I used and it settled on top of the paint, not too sure to be honest..

My clocks, cogs and gears were now dry and ready and my favourite top hat image

printed added colour and fussy cut..

The goggles from Temu,very light, like plastic and perfect for this project,

 the key also from Temu and as light as a feather..

It was a challenge gluing them on, trust me,

 the way I wanted them left very small edges to glue..

But I got there and to this day they are still glued on..

as are the cogs with buttons along the sides..

a close up of inside the goggles..

There are roses edged in gold cream stuff..

loads of dimension..

then the camera had a real hissy fit and the colours went crazy..

but you can see the roses tucked in there..

Final photo..recipient very happy..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you Monday..

Luv CHRISSYxx
