Steampunk Moths

 

With not much of an idea in mind, I started laying out some resin pieces on a wooden panel.

Gave the substrate a coat of white crackle and also added pieces of Prima Re-Design Poly Decor.

Stuck everything down and gave it a couple of coats of gesso.

I mixed some mica powders with acrylic extender and made a paste which I painted over the crackle.

I used a different colour or mica powder and painted the steampunk moths.

I painted the main elements with Finnabair metallique rustic brown paint.

Added some waxes until I liked what I'd go.  I decided only to use the large steampunk moth in the end.  Added some TH words from the sticker book.

Love how it came out.

NEC Craft Show

 

Went on the coach with Coopers to the NEC.

Met up with Vix and Jules.

It was busy to start off with but it soon thinned out.

There weren't really that many craft stalls, more sewing, knitting and fabric.

Janet chatting up the stall holders!!  This guy was really nice, he gave us free rice papers and a free bottle of weekday glue!!

Waiting for the bus to the car park and the coach back home.

My purchases, which were very limited as there really wasn't much there.
