\nHi folks !
\nGood Morning \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n
\nPreeti Datta (Dutt Preety)<\/a> here. <\/div>\n
\nToday, I’ve created an Altered Geometry Box titled “Inspire”<\/b>. I’ve used various mixed media techniques<\/b>. There is a Step-by-Step Pictorial<\/b> of the process. I have used mixed media products by CrafTangles as well as other products from Hndmd<\/a>.<\/div>\n

\nStep-by-Step Pictorial:<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n1. Used Prima Finnabair Silicone moulds and air dry clay to create some clay embellishments<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n2. Applied CrafTangles Gesso- Charcoal on a Geometry Box using a sponge. This helps to add an uneven texture<\/div>\n
\n\"2-4522123\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n3. To add more texture to the background, applied CrafTangles Texture Paste- Asphalt to the box using a palette knife. We want it to be uneven. This paste has a grainy texture with tiny particles in it. I love it! It is this grainy texture that will create a wonderful effect when coloured later on. <\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n4. Prepared some metal embellishments by Mitform Castings by applying CrafTangles Texture Paste- Asphalt to them as well <\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n5. Layered the clay and metal embellishments to create a visually pleasing composition and adhered them to the box using gel medium. For the heavier pieces, I used Heavy Body Gel and for the lighter pieces, I used Acrylic Soft Gel.<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n6. To add more texture and fill up the gaps, mixed 2 sizes of art stones with CrafTangles Acrylic Soft Gel and added them to some of the empty spaces<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n7. To get a full coverage of black, sprayed the box with Lindy’s Gang Blazing Black Flat Spray. This gets into the tiny spaces where a brush may not reach<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n8. Now started dry brushing. First, I’ve used CrafTangles Texture Paste- Cement to dry brush a grey colour onto the whole box. Since this paste is thick and grainy, it adds a lot of texture and makes the texture from underneath more visible<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n9. Now for the finishing touches, did the dry brushing technique using CrafTangles Chalky Paints- Cool Jade and Buttercream and CrafTangles Gesso-White. Created a shading effect by highlighting some areas. In the end, created white splatter by diluting white gesso. <\/div>\n
