Mixed Media Junk Vintage Tissue Box

Are you ready for a totally different type of project today? Let’s create a mixed media junk tissue box!

I am totally in love with mixed media. The art of changing any object into a totally different form! Love Love Love !! :) 

 First, primer the whole box using 'white Gesso'. Then give texture to the box using 'Finnabair 3D matte gel transparent' over 'Mini Time travel' and 'mini art is' stencil . Then I took good amount of time in arranging my broken jewelry pieces, lace, ribbons on the box. Once you are satisfied with the positioning of the embellishments glue them using gel medium.

 Once dry, again apply a thin coat of gesso on all the embellishments and embossing. Using 'Folkart Calypso sky matte finish acrylic paint'  paint a thin coat on the whole box. Spray Lindy's stardust Mad Matter mint over and under the embellishments. Move the box slightly so that the paint can move in the intricate designs of the box. You can use your fingers to rub the paint. Use heat gun to dry the paint. To give some more colour interest I used 'medium grey' acrylic paint through my broad silicon brush and painted here and there.

Once every thing is dry, its time to highlight the embellishments. Since I don't have waxes as of now, I wanted to try my old friend Perfect Pearls for this purpose. I took some water and Turquoise perfect pearl on my palette and covered the whole box. This gave my box a metallic finish. Then I took some water and Sunflower perfect pearl on my palm, and gently rub this mixture on all the embellishments. This will gave a good dimension to your project. I rubbed Blush perfect pearl also over the script embossing.

Use Vintage Distress collage medium to give the project a worn / old look. Lastly Glue a thin lace over the top opening to give a neat look. 

Thanks !

Mixed Media - Indian wedding Family Intro (Parichay, also called Isinabisi)

Hi Friends,
Hope you all are doing good. Today I am going to share with you a very unique project :)
I made one journaling book, called Isinabisi for my sister's wedding.
In India, Isinabisi is made by Bride's side and gifted to Groom's family. It contains the names of the Bride's parents, family members with their brief introduction in poetic form.

Front page of the book is a Mixed Media panel. Dimension of the book is 8 inches by 8 inches. The main focus of the panel is the wooden Barat Band miniatures and the Resin circle frame. I used gel medium to paste all the embellishments. Perfect pearls are used to give some extra shine to all the embellishments. For background I used my stencils and Gold paste. Heat embossing using gold fine powder is done on vellum sheets.

Sit back and enjoy the video of Isinabisi... (I know this book has a funny name ;) )

Mixed Media Upcycled Cereal Box

Hi Friends,

I wanted to try my hands on some mixed media project, so I used an empty cereal box as canvas and .. here I go ..

 

I cut the top part of the box through scissors. Coated 2-3 layers of gesso and some diluted cheap texture paint to hide the brand name/details printed on the box.
I Spray painted on all the sides through Lindy's stamp gang Starlust colour.

 Used acrylic brown color on Time Travel stencil through a Ranger's ink blending sponge on all over the box. through this I got a masculine look.

On the centre of the dials I dabbed hero Arts Neon green colour to highlight the clock's dial a bit more.

Used hero Arts dauber Cup O'Joe (Brown Color) on all the edges of the box to highlight them and give dimension.

 

 

Pasted few motivational stickers on both the sides of the box. I had few food stickers in my stash, so used those as well. 

 

I then applied a thin layer of Tim Holtz's Vintage medium to give the box antique look. Through a brown marker I did some shading on the edges of all the stickers , to bring them to life!

Finally punched holes and used green ribbon for handles ... Whoa >>

I hope you like the box and a small tutorial .. Thank you for stopping by ...
