Electric Rust *with video

Hello dear friends!
Today I'm hosting the Finnabair blog with an altered wooden case.

 I created it for my brother. I haven't given it to him yet, it's a present, actually a surprise, so shhhhhhh...don't tell him anything yet :) He's an electronic and his lab is called '01'.
The mechanical numbers are the perfect size to write the name of the lab in the center of the composition. The new mechanical rusty and steampunk gears, the Barn Stars and Mini Hardware were also a perfect match for this project, I just love them there!


I started by gluing electronic plackets (I got them from my dad - he is also an electronic) all over the surface with  the new silicone brush 1' and Heavy Body Gel.
This Gel is a very strong glue and I highly recommend it  if you need to glue heavy or metal embellishment on your project like I did. 

Next step was to cover everything with Black Gesso. It creates a beautiful and interesting base to work on it, the paints love it :)

When it was all dry I used some acrylic paints to color everything: opal magic blue-gold, silver spoon and light patina and also Emerald Green, Black Berry and Deep Waters from the new colors.

To add more texture I used the Platinum Crackle Paste here and there and used the same acrylic colors to paint it over when it was dry.

 I also added Bronze Micro Beads and 2 colors of the Mica Flakes set. I glued them with 3D Gloss Gel.

The next step was the most exciting of all the process. I used the Rust Pastes. I couldn't wait to use them when I first saw this amazing product! I have to tell you, this is my new favorite 'must have'. The rust look is so awesome and feels and looks real!!! I absolutely adore the result!

Last thing I did was to spread two shades of Mica powder (Rust and Deep Water) with a paintbrush all over the project. I sprayed some water and dried it with a heat gun. I think this last step was very important because it unified all the colors and textures.

Here are some more details...



You can see the whole process in my video below.

I hope you got some ideas on how to alter wooden or metal embellishments and give them a whole new look!
Thank you for visiting
have a lovely crafty day!

Once Upon A Sketch - Love for Cold...



Γεια σας! Με αυτή τη σύνθεση συμμετέχω για πρώτη φορά στην σχεδιαστική ομάδα του Once Upon A Sketch για την πρόκληση Δεκεμβρίου με θέμα τον 'Χειμώνα'...
Hello Everyone! This composition is my first entry as a design team member for Once Upon A Sketch December's challenge...


Theme:  It's December...
We would like you to create a layout and interpret the theme "'It's December.. " however you like based on the following sketch. You can journal as little or as much as you like, but your layout must incorporate this theme and the sketch below. Please make sure that we see some sort of journalling on your layouts and please tell us where your journalling is . Hidden journalling is perfectly fine.


Με τόσο όμορφο Sketch δεν ήταν καθόλου δύσκολο να σκεφτώ τι θα βάλω πάνω στο χαρτί μου. Και λόγω του θέματος η φωτογραφία δεν θα μπορούσε να είναι άλλη από του άντρα μου, ο οποίος έχει ιδιαίτερη συμπάθεια για αυτήν την εποχή (σε αντίθεση με εμένα που λατρεύω το καλοκαίρι:). Προσπάθησα επίσης να συμπεριλάβω σε διάφορα σημεία γραπτό λόγο, journaling στη γλώσσα του scrapbooking, κυρίως εκεί που υποδεικνύει το sketch, αλλά και σε κρυμμένα μέρη όπως το εισητήριο και η ετικέτα αριστερά.
This beautiful sketch gave me plenty of inspiration to create this mixed media composition. Because of  the 'Winter' theme, I chose my hubby's photo who has a particular fondness for this season (unlike me- I love summer :). I also tried to include various points in journaling, especially where the sketch indicates, but also in hidden spots like the ticket and the tag at the left side of the composition.

mixed media canvas

Γεια σας! Αυτός ο καμβάς είναι το αποτέλεσμα της χθεσινής συνάντησης με δύο αγαπημένες φίλες: την Ελένη (η οποία δημιούργησε το 'αδερφάκι' αυτού του καμβά) και την  Κατερίνα την καινούργια της μικρής δημιουργικής παρέας μας!
Hello! This is a canvas I created yesterday with my dear scrap-friends Eleni (she created a 'twin' canvas) and Katerina, who joined us for the fist time!


Μαζί με το χαμόγελό της, έφερε και ένα σωρό καλούδια, πολλά από τα οποία είναι κολλημένα πλέον πάνω στον καμβά, αλλά και γνώσεις και εμπειρίες από τα πολλά μαθήματα που έχει παρακολουθήσει στα ταξίδια της με όλες τις 'μούσες' του scrapbooking και ειδικά την Finabair που είναι και η αγαπημένη μου :) 
Along with her ​​smile, Katerina brought a bunch of goodies, many of which are now placed onto the canvas, as well as knowledge and experience from the many courses she has attended from traveling with all the 'muses' of scrapbooking like Finabair!











*****
Ο καμβάς αυτός διαγωνίζεται στην πρόκληση Νοεμβρίου του Berry71Blue που θέλει τρέλα και κορδέλα... :) Πιστεύω ότι ταιριάζει πολύ στο θέμα, μιας και γίνεται χαμός εκεί πάνω από τζιρτζιμιλιλίδια και χρώματα!
This canvas is my submission to the  Berry71Blue November challenge themed 'FORGET ABOUT MODERATION AND GO CRAZY'. I think it fits perfect, don't you? :)




Update:  Thank you so much Berry71Blue  for choosing me as a winner!

My Man

Σήμερα έχω να σας δείξω ένα 'αντρικό' layout και μάλιστα είναι το πρώτο που φτιάχνω με αυτό το θέμα. Από καιρό ήθελα να δοκιμάσω να κάνω κάτι σε τέτοιο στυλ, αλλά δεν μου ερχόταν τίποτα! Έπαιρνα την φωτογραφία και την άφηνα πάλι στην άκρη. Η κατάλληλη ευκαιρία ήρθε με το sketch του Get Creative: κοιτάζοντάς το σου αφήνει μια κοριτσίστικη αίσθηση, τουλάχιστον εγώ αυτό αισθάνθηκα και αυτό είναι που προσπάθησα να ανατρέψω!
Η πραγματική διασκέδαση μ' αυτή τη δημιουργία ήταν οι στάμπες, τα μελάνια και τα σκισμένα χαρτιά, όλα ανακατεμένα και τοποθετημένα επιμελώς ατημέλητα...
Hello scrapy-friends! Today I will show you a "men's" layout which is in fact the first I am making of this category. I have been thinking on making something of this style since ages ago, but I was short on inspiration. I tried several times to come up with something from this photo, but I always postponed it. The right time came when I saw a sketch from "Get Creative" that left me a girl-ish feeling; at least this is how I felt at first, and that is what I tried to subvert!
The real fun in this was the stamps, the inks and the papers chunks, all mixed up and thoroughly disheveled...








Supplies:  

Paper:  BO BUNNY 'weekend market' and 'et cetera' collections 6x6 paper pads
Embellishments: Junkyard Findings Small Typo Bulbs Embellishments from PrimaMaya Road Kraft Mini Ticket Strips,  Maya Road scroll corners chipboard set, Time Flies Maya Road Chipboard clock Embellishments, Camera Wood Veneers by Studio Calico, Bird Wood Veneers by Studio Calico, chipboard book plate, Tim Holtz small arrow spinner charms  antique nickel,  free market findings
Stamps: DAILY JUNQUE clear stamps by Pinkpaislee, Martha Stewart clear pattern stamps 'sellos transparentes / timbres transparents', Prima clear stamps 'Craftsman'
Mists/inks: Tattered Angels glimmer mist chalkboard 'fern', 'sunflower sparkle' Perfect Perls and 'tuscan sun', Tim Holtz Distress Ink 'peeled paint' and 'tea dye'


 Σας φιλώ και εύχομαι καλές δημιουργίες! 
Happy crafting everyone!

Mini layout...

Γειά σας! Σήμερα θα σας δείξω κάτι από το βιβλίο-ημερολόγιο μου. Ψάχνοντας σε ένα κουτί βρήκα παλιές φωτογραφίες (καλύτερα ας μην αναφέρω πόσα χρόνια πριν είναι :) και αποφάσισα να κάνω ένα μίνι layout με μία από αυτές. Η τεχνική που εφάρμοσα λέγεται mixed media και είναι από τις αγαπημένες μου. Ιδού το αποτέλεσμα...
Hello blogers! Today I will show you a snapshot of my journal book. I have discovered some old photos (I try to forget how old they are,lol)  in a box and I decided to make a mini layout with one of them. I used the mixed media technique inspired from Finnabair (I'm a big fan of her)! Here is the result...
