Crows Skull Keepsake Box

Today I'm sharing a special keepsake box I created for my adopted grandson Josh.  It features a real crows skull set a top corrugated cardboard, wheels, cogs and a clock.  It features IOD resin wings and sacred heart flames.  Josh loved his box, which really made me happy!  Here's a few more close ups:

Today I'm sharing a keepsake box I created for my grandson Cade.  I stenciled some texture in the background.  For a focal point, it features an IOD resin face and wings, set a top corrugated cardboard, cogs, gears and a clock.  There are prills wondering through the design.  Here's a few more close ups:

Skull Keepsake Box

Today I'd like to share the keepsake boxes I created for Christmas gifts for my grandsons.  The first is my oldest Skyler and he loves skulls!  So I made this copper steampunk inspired skull with wings and a crown.  I stenciled a textured back ground and layered up gears, cardboard, and a clock face.  I added a bit of prills flowing through the design.  Here's a few more close ups:

Traditional Chandelier

At Home in the Craftroom!

Today I'm sharing Prima's Traditional Chandelier that I created earlier this year.  I was inspired by Miranda Edney Regal Chandelier on YouTube.  I painted it with Egg Blue Prima chalk paint, inked on some swirls and applied a finishing coast of Mod Podge with iridescent glitter in it.  Lets have a closer look:   

After painting, I added Diamond Dust to the bulbs to make them sparkle.  Then I added flowers and garden themed embellishments and finely added the crystal chandelier drops.Here's a few more close-ups:

Dream Garden Chandelier

Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing this sweet Prima Traditional Chandelier which was inspired by Robbie's tutorial.  Since this project is 3D its a bit difficult to photographic so please bear with the wonky photos.. Hopefully you can see the details your interested in.

To create this, I started by painting the base with Prima's Robins Egg Blue chalk paint.  Robbie used a stencil transfer, however I used a swirl stamp to create the black highlights. After I stamped it, I used a mix of Modge Podge and iridescent glitter to coat the chandelier.   Then I used Diamond Dust to coat the bulbs so they sparkle like crazy in the light.  Here's a close-up of these effects:

I decorated each section of the chandelier with flowers and garden themed trinkets like a "blessed" water spigot, vintage garden hose knob, birds nest, bird house, wall water fountain and Dream Garden street sign.

That's it for me today.  Thank you for dropping by, please "follow" my blog, and "like and share" with your friends.  Until next time, stay creative and make it a happy day!  Hugs ~ Dawna
