Steampunk Altered Bottles Tutorial

Hello Friends, I am on the Itsy Bitsy blog today to share a mixed media creation . I created a set of Steampunk Altered bottles with lots of Itsy Bitsy Mixed Media supplies. 

I am sharing the tutorial here too ........

I used Grainy texture paste and Stone texture paste , some random lace and twine to create background texture on the glass bottles..........

Then used the stencil from the store and crackle paste to add some more texture ....

I wanted to use the steampunk bulb chipboard set as the focal point on the bottles , used color splash in Lemon Zing, Gold Rush and Mocha to create an ombre light effect on heavy card by spraying the paper with water first and then with the color splash, allow to dry and then traced the bulbs on the colored paper and fixed behind the chipboard bulbs............

after all the texture , give a coat of Black Gesso to the bottles and allowed to dry....

some layering with chipboard, gears , micro and macro craft pellets .........

another coat of black gesso..........

some more texture with Embossing Paste Aquatini and heat embossing.........

Now was the turn to color, I used Chalk Paints in Terracotta, Mango Crush, Teal Tango, Chocolate Truffle and misty fog using the dry brush technique, keep layering the paints from dark to light in a random fashion........

Finished with adding the focal point with Heavy Gel Medium, some metal embellishments and chain was added from my stash.........

the back....

Hi Friends

Recently I attended a Facebook demo class by Antonis Tzanidakis. He is an incredible mixed media artist. last year he was in India doing workshops and I was lucky to have attended his Delhi workshop. Now a days due to the Covid 19 situation , it is difficult to travel and also to get any kits and he is conducting workshops on You Tube and private Facebook groups . This project is titled Mr 'T' and I used mostly his techniques and some improvisation at my end.......... enjoy the pics, some in process pics and some detail shots ..........

The right hand bottom composition was changed as I thought it was too big and the clocks etc were replaced with a steampunk heart mounted on a broken compass piece..........
