Hello friends,
How are you all? I am enjoying my little summer vacation!!! It's too hot here in India. But I am still enjoying my break. I am back with another Tutorial post for Rainbow Craftykari blog.
This time, I've created an Old Vintage Shadow Box from a used artist palette. I love old and a vintage look on projects and that's why this was fun to create it.
So here is how I made this Shadow box.
Enjoy a video flip through and step by step instructions below
Step 1 : First step is to prime the base.
It is always good to prime the base with gesso, so it holds any further mediums and colours.
I gave it a coat of Black Gesso and covered the entire surface. The palette is made out of plastic and this gesso primes it well for further textures and mediums.
Step 2 : Adding textures. Apply white Crackle texture paste on the pallet randomly as shown in the image.
For fine cracks, let it dry naturally. Once you let it dry for a few hours, you'll see the cracks appear. Next, I applied a thin layer of rust paste watered down, onto the texture. This enhances the cracks.
Step 3 : Roughly placing elements on the pallet.
I picked different things from my treasure, to go with my vintage shadow box.
After picking it out the elements, I roughly placed them on the palette and played with the arrangement.
Step 4 : Add colours and textures to the elements.
I selected different types of materials of elements. Some are plastic, metal, fibers etc. Before placing them, it is important to colour them to match the vintage look. I used the same rust pastes and painted the elements.
Step 5 : Gluing and Priming the elements.
One by one I placed all the elements in the colour pallet and added some used fabric pieces, threads, beads and mini/mega stones to give more depth to the project.
Step 6 : Time to add the coffee splash.
In the end, I splashed some coffee stains on the entire project to enhance the vintage look.
Step 7: Final touches.
For more depth, I sprinkled Lindy's magical shakers at a few places and added Tim Holtz Word Sticker to give it more meaning.
And with that my Vintage shadow box is ready !!!
