The truck

I took one of my boys old toy truck and went wild :)

I can't tell you how much I love finnabairs rust paste! It is easy to get addictive to :)

This truck was first painted with black heavy gesso and then all the silver details was painted with copper metallic paint.The gears where treated the same way and I also painted the gears with the rust paste before I glued the on and lastly the truck got painted with rust as well. I used two yellow bling on the lamps on top. On the tiers I used a little platinum inka gold to highlight the structure.

This project is a DT project for Words&Paintery this month and I also used 13arts challenge this month as inspiration; "steampunk".

And o course I had to have A LOT of detail pics to really show it of :) I loved to make this one!!

I dream of flying!

My dream.

I dream of flying. Both in real life and when I am sleeping.  I have been bungy jumping, skydiving, been on a helicopter and love hiking in the mountings. I simply love high heights and one of my next goals is hang gliding :)

At night when you're sleeping, you can actually fly for real and those dreams are the coolest! The feeling is just amazing!

For this project I was inspired by MixedMediaPlace's creative gym challenge "Dreams":

At first I was going to do an art journal spread but when I sat down at my desk I saw this wooden doll on the shelf and thought "That one would be cool to alter!"
I had these chipboard wings from 2Crafty that just worked perfectly for this project. With a little gears and harlequin chipboards, gold color bloom and rust paste I had my dream project :)

 (You can see witch bottle I use the most :) )

Here is the doll in its original look. (pic from AliExpress)

I wanted to give the doll a reaching/flying pose.

 I have also used some beads in different sizes to get some extra structure.

I used the chipboard word "experience" at the bottom (also from 2crafty)
