Rust Paste Heart Collage for Prima

Three of Finnabair's Creative Team 

members are over on the

  Prima Blog 

today with 

Rust Paste.

This is my project.

This starts with an 8x8 inch canvas board, pieces of paper, trim, torn

strips of canvas resist, German Dresden, and a paper mould from Iron Orchid Designs.

They're glued to the canvas with 3D Matte Gel.

 

I added Modeling Paste with the Lattice Stencil, and then added 

Mini Art Stones (although the jar says just Art Stones) to the paste.

I painted areas of the piece with Heavy Black Gesso and 

then began to add the 3 Rust Pastes with a brush.

This shows a layer of Opal Magic Paints and some Metalliques

are painted onto the black areas, and White Crackle Paste 

fills in parts around the edges and down the middle.

The Relics and Artifact Heart is painted and coated with 

Clear Crackle Paste. The fine cracks show up really well

when Gold paint is lightly brushed on top.

Walnut stain is used to add age to the entire piece.

Mechanicals, some painted, and some left alone with 

their wonderful rusty finish are added around the piece.

This is a close-up shot of the Rust Paste on an 

Iron Orchid Design paper mould piece.

Kinda cool, eh?

And of course lots of Crackle, Mini Art Stones, and 

Mechanicals find their way into this collage.

Go take a peek and get inspired!
