Hello Sweeties,
Today I’m up on Dusty Attic blog with a kind of diorama. Imagine looking through the porthole of a submarine and looking at the sea world. Wouldn’t that be amazing!
I primed the two parts of the porthole with black gesso. I added a piece of acrylic between the two pieces of the porthole. Next, I painted it with Silver Spoon acrylic paint. Next, I used the Rust Effect pastes set to alter the porthole. Finally, I added some Old Silver wax.
I built a bottom which I covered with white crackle paste. When dry, I colored it with different shades of blue liquid acrylic paints.
I primed all the sea chipboards with white gesso and the resin elements with clear gesso. I used liquid acrylic paints to color them and waxes to highlight the details. I covered the Coral elements with Iced Crushed paste and Nude liquid acrylic.
I covered the Anchor with Rust Effect pastes, added a little bit of Old Silver wax, and added jute cording. I covered the painted Jellyfishes with Glossy Accent. I glued a piece of toothpick behind all the elements.
I added a piece of polystyrene at the bottom covered with Paper paste. While the paste was still wet, I added some sand to mimic the sea bed. When done, I glued all the elements in place.
To finish, I added some natural elements like a crab, shells, moss, and starfishes
