Vintage Mannequin video tutorial for Finnabair's CT

Hello crafty friends! 

It’s my first project for Finnabair's CT and I’m so very excited, honored and happy!

For my debut project I’ve created a project I wanted to make for some time now and somehow, I kept putting it aside.

 It’s a Vintage Mannequin – an altered MDF base with lots of Finnabair’s goodies. (Find the supplies list below)

It may have some different steps, but all are pretty simple and together they create this Vintage look I love so much.

To achieve an interesting look, suggesting a corset and Jewelry style I added Tissue paper, Gaze fabric and Icing Paste to the background. Using a simple cardboard, peeling and painting it, I’ve created the corset.

For building the composition I glued a few chipboards, added metal chains on top and assembled many different Mechanicals elements mold prints and more.

After drying I colored all elements with Art Alchemy Metalique and sparks paints, created a shadowing around and added dry brush White Heavy Gesso.

Watch the step by step process to see how I made it:

 Here are some more pictures of the project:

Industrial Heart Box for Dusty Attic

Hello carfty friends!

Anat here sharing my second project for October - a Heart shaped box inspired by the gorgeous moodboard.

I started by priming the box using Heavy White Gesso, leaving brush strokes for some texture.

When dry I cut Industrial Corners and  adhered the pieces around the box, together with the smaller parts of the Jumbo Cogs set. 

On the lid I adhered Chicken Wire Panel.

DA 1952 - Industrial Corners

DA 0232 - Jumbo Cogs

DA 0177- Chicken Wire Panel

Next I painted all box, with chipboards on, using Lindy's Hockey Puck Black Squirt.

This squirt is a Black with Blue Grey in it and I love it! I colred it unevenly, leaving darker spots and stains here and there.

After drying the paint I rubed Aged Brass and Red Amber Finnabair's Metalique waxes.

I brushed Industrial Barbed Stars and some cogs from the Jumbo Cogs set, with Finnabair Rust Paste and Hot embossed randomly, on top, a bit of  Stampendous Aged Green EP.

I also embossed the chipboards glued around the box.

DA 1540 - Industrial Barbed Stars

I cut the embossed chipboards and adhered them on top of the Chicken wire. Next colored one compass from the Mini Compasses set using Lindy's Whale Watch Blue Spray. 

Last step was to adhere the compass and add Finnabair's mini hardware pieces.

Hope you like it!
