Gothic Arch Gate

 

Painted a gate arch with black gesso and then laid some resin and metal embellishments down.

Glued it all down and then painted everything in black gesso.

Then used my new to me, chameleon pigments from Resin-Pro.

They seemed to be mainly green based.

Then a bit of pinky, purple became visible.

And then more purple.

Depends which way the light is shining.

Just lightly dusted the back of the arch.

And lastly just to give an idea of the depth.

Gothic Style Shaker Plaque

After watching a 'free' youtube video class by the lovely Anna aka Finnabair, I made this.

A shaker plaque made from recycled wood and a plastic dome.

                            

Close up of the shaker part of the plaque.

The bat looked a bit plain so I added a rub on.

And finally a close up of the top left corner.

Spiked Mask Canvas

 

I saw a canvas made by someone on FB and I absolutely loved it. so I decided to have a play and put my own touches to it.  Although, I have to say, I loved it so much, I didn't change too much but didn't want to completely replicate it.

I used a full face mask and a fancy brown decoupage mask, I fitted them together to make on mask. Used t-shirt fabric and paper deco with bronze powertex.

Once completely dry, I started adding hardware and wire.

I painted over the top with silver acrylic paint.

Added red paint and red pigments to the canvas once really dry.

Took a quick photo outside before it rains again!

A few close ups. Added pieces of wire to the eye sockets.

I tried to re-create the effect of barbed wire.

I added three netting staples over the mouth.

A line of screws to the forehead.

Red acrylic paint around the eye and mouth area. Lots of waxes and pigments also used.

This is the original that I was totally inspired by.  Cate Wilshaw of Dark Imaginings was the creator of this fabulous piece.  She completed it nearly 3 years ago, but I have only just come across it. I love it.

This is the whole piece.

Pen / Paint Pots

 

As my last two pen / paint pots sold so quick, I decided to make a couple more.

I used iridescent pigments on this one.

I went for a purple and a blue.

I added lots of little resin embellishment shapes.

For this one I used the Finnabair sparks paint.

Love how it looks on the black, it's got shades of greens and turquoises.

Again more small resin embellishments added.

They look great together.

They will be up for sale in my online shop.

Skull & Cog Plate

 

I painted another plate with black powertex.

I then painted it in pewter metallic acrylic and pulled out a few pieces to decorate it with.

I arranged them how I wanted them on the plate.

And then I coloured it up in purples and blues.

And I took this photo outside in the sun this morning which is a truer representation of the colours.

And a view from the left.

And the right.

This is now for sale in my on-line shop.

Resin Key Rings

 

I recently bought this mould and had a play with some resin.

Coated both sides with powertex, painted them with metallic acrylics and added touches of treasure gold and alchemy wax.

Added a hook and a keychain, then varnished both sides.

And now they are finished and ready to sell on my stall or in my online shop
