Steampunk Guitar

My second project for September for Faith Pocock Craft Studio  is a sweet little guitar.

I assembled and painted the guitar and then glued lace around the sides.   I glued lace on the top of the guitar and on the frets.

Once I had glued down the lace I then began assembling the cogs, gears and moulds, 

I filled in the gaps with metal embellishments and art stones.  Once I was happy with the arrangement I painted everything the same colour as the base of the guitar.  

Once this paint was dry I them coloured the embellishments and then I dry brushed everything with white gesso to finish.

I hope this project encourages you to get a kit from Faith Pocock Craft Studio and make your own piece of art,

Pen Holders

 My newest project for Faith Pocock Craft Studio is a very simple one.  I took some of her small boxes and made some pen holders.  For the bigger version I glued three of the boxes together.

To cover the large box I cut squares, rectangles and strips of cardboard from a cereal box.  For the rivets glued on split peas along the seams of where the pieces of cardboard overlapped.  For the single box I glued pipe diecuts on all sides. I then used some of Faith's MDF cogs and glued them to the front of the boxes.  Once this was done I painted everything with black gesso and then I drybrushed everything with metallic paint.  

This is a very simple project and the boxes can be decorated using moulds or other items to make a decorative place to store pens and other office essentials,
