Fan for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

This week on the Colour Blast Blog I used a fan that I had gotten when I went to Hamilton Island a few years ago it was a very special trip

Make sure you check out the Colour Blast website and see all the awesome stencils and stamps from Michelle Grant and while you're there check out the Kit Club it could be a great Christmas gift to yourself for next year  

I have also made a YouTube Video of the process which you can watch and make sure to subscribe to both channels Colour Blast and mine

I started off trying something else and didn't like it so I got the Heavy White Gesso to cover up everything and then went from there

So I decided to go with some Colour Shimmer Dusts - I went out of my comfort zone and chose blues

I used the Colour Shimmer Dust Powders - Duke, Cobalt and Peacock sprinkled across the fan then spritzed it with the water and dried it

I used Sunflower Colour Shimmer Dust Powder that I have pre-made in a bottle of water (I use this one a lot) and sprayed the flowers

I used the Midnight Colour Shimmer Dust Powder on the clock which is made of paper clay and gave it a little swipe of Old Silver Wax from Finnabair to show up the details

I filled in the gap of the mask with the Watermelon Colour Mica Powder which I had added some  Heavy Body Gel from Finnabair (which I also used to adhere everything to the fan with)

I love how vibrant the colours are

Thank you for visiting and I hope you will be back soon x

Radio for Helmar

Hey Everyone 

I was given two old radios by my dad and couldn't wait to use one the other I couldn't bring myself to use it's to old and vintage looking and I think I'd like to just clean it and have it on display 

The one I chose is on old GE which you could use with your TV and had an antenna that you used with the TV as well I didn't bother using that

I videoed the whole process so here's the linkto my YouTube video

 

So I started off by pulling the radio apart and taking the whole inside out, then pulled all the parts off - all the wires, batteries, everything off the. circuit board Wow a lot of work goes into making an electrical product

I painted the radio with some Rusty Paper paint which I was going to make it all grunge and rusted looking but after glueing the parts onto the radio I changed my mind

There was too much detail in all the little bits and I liked the look of the different textures and details they had so I kept them that way

I mainly used the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive on everything as I hate waiting for things to dry and wanted to get things stuck LOL

I also added some Memory Maze Thistle Flowers for a different texture

I decided I wasn't happy with the Rust colour so I used some Aged Brass Art Alchemy Metallique Wax with a bristle brush over the whole radio and a little over some parts but not enough to cover them

Then for something different I added some Colour Blast Colour Bling Paste
