I was making this fun project for a friend Birthday this month and when i was done I was think this would be a wonderful Father's Day idea.. I made my friend a desk set.
Supplies:
Paper Mache Boxes - I got my from UsArtQuest.com
Terri Sproul Mixer: Tanzanite
Terri Sproul Mixer - Interference Blue
Terri Sproul Mixer - Silver
Terri Sproul Color Enhancer
3-D Crystal lacquer
Gear Die - both Tim Holtz and Spellbinders
Black Cardstock
Black Gesso
ChipBoard Letter "M"
Directions:
* paint both boxes with Black Gesso - let dry
* paint both boxes with Interference Blue.
* paint black cardstock with Silver and let dry completely (i wait at least one hour). then run paper and die into your die cutter machine and cut out some gear dies.. as many as you would want for your projects...I cut 7 gears total...
* Paint "M" with Tanzanite...
* Add gears to boxes - I use my Crystal lacquer to adhere my gear and chipboard letter.
Check out my last "Live Stream" there is a link at the top of my blog and see how i make the gears look old.. fun technique..
thanks for stopping by - hope you like my idea and I hope my friend likes his birthday gift....

Sakura Hobby Craft Blog Hop
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and see what I made with the Terri Sproul Mixers.. Can you imagine how excited I was to introduce these at CHA 2012 Winter Show... Today as you know I have give each of the Design Team member of Sakura Hobby Crafts some of these Mixers and told them to have fun.. I got a few sneak peaks at some of the project and they are having fun...
Here is my project and as most of you know I am totally into streampunk. So I made a Steampunk Doll...
Sorry about this photo, but I lost my camera and don't have a better way of taking a photo....
Supplies
Dress form doll from Michael
Transparence
Artistic Wire - copper
Terri Sproul Mixers: Jewel Effects: "Copper Penny" . "Interference Green," "Bronze"
Terri Sproul Mixers: Glitz Effect: "Rubin Red"
Clear 3-D Crystal Lacquer
Tim Holtz - pocket watch
Gears
I pained the doll with Copper Penny first, let it dry and i painted over the whole thing again with the Interference Green (love that look). set aside to dry...
after she was dry I measure the back of the pocket watch and drew a circle in the doll and cut that circle out.
Filled the pocket watch with gears and then add Crystal Lacquer to fill the pocket watch and act as my adhesive for the gears.
Now to make my wings. I show how to make wings on a Live Stream the other night. So here is the link so you can watch to give you an idea on how to make wings... http://www.linqto.com/PlaybackRoom.aspx?roomname=papermood&name=SingleExplicit_2012_02_22_20_00_26_239
Then I just adhered everything together.
Thanks for stopping by - remember to leave me some love so you can win some blog candy...
