Winter Town Christmas Décor by Margarita Shkludova

Hello, dear friends! Margarita Shkludova is with you today.

It's a December evening in a small town. Windows are aglow with golden lights, filling the town with warmth and light. The Christmas tree adorns the square, bringing joy to the children. They play in the snow while a snowman watches over their fun.

All these distant childhood memories are captured in a small box.

I invite you to watch the video tutorial. Enjoy watching!

Below, you'll find a list of the materials used.

Keep warmth in your heart.

See you!

Love from the past - by Kasyopeaart

 Hi 

Valentine's Day is approaching, so I decided to create something for this occasion. 

I found a frame that I decided to transform into a decoration. 

The first step was to prepare the frame, I used White Heavy Gesso, I also painted the glass with it. After drying, I glued Tissue Paper with Soft Matte Gel and painted the frame with Impasto paint in Jade. 

I prepared casts from Finnabair moulds, I also covered them with Gesso, and I arranged a composition from them, I glued everything with Heavy Body Gel.

To add extra texture I reached for Sand Paste, added White Gesso and some Art Stones, mixed everything and put on the elements of the composition.

It's time for the best fun, Liquid Acrylic paints and my favourite colour set, Burnt Sienna, Carmine and Ink Black. These colours wonderfully imitate rust effect.

I added tiny metal knobs and everything was ready for the last part of creating my project, i.e. waxes. 

Finally, I used Antiquing Waxes to age everything, I put Sepia and Soot waxes And I pulled out the details with Bronze Age Metallique Wax. 

My frame with a steampunk composition, covered with rust, does it fit Valentine's Day? Of course! 

Best regards
