Steampunk Mixed Media Canvas

Hello everyone!!!!

Today I’m sharing a steampunk inspired mixed media canvas.

I started out with a 6x6 canvas that I covered in tissue paper and then painted with black gesso. 

I then added several layers of Art Alchemy Wax. Added my found things and covered them in black gesso. 


After the gesso dried I starting painting the items with different paints from the metallique line. 


After I painted my found things I actually changed the color of the background from purple and pink to kind of a copper and gold. Once everything was dry I added some butterflies cut from Graphic 45’s Steampunk Debutante line. 



For a final Touch I splattered black paint and added glitter to the butterflies. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Recycle Packaging from Graphic 45 Staples!

While I was cleaning up all my art supplies the other day, I found the part of the packaging from the Graphic 45 drawer pulls I had used in one of my recent up cycles. I almost threw it away when the thought occurred to me that I should use it as a tag! So I set it aside until I had some free time to work on it. So this............. Became this...... I just love the way this turned out! I had the Artisan Style paper sitting in my collection for awhile and decided this would be the perfect thing to use it on! For detailed instructions just check out my snapguide: Check out How to Recycle Graphic 45 Packaging With Artisan Style by Altina Robinson on Snapguide . Thanks for stopping by!! -Altina R.
