Hello creative friends! Are you excited for Christmas yet?
We all know that Santa and his elves are busy working away at the North Pole but did you know that Steampunk Santa is also busy in his workshop at this time of year? He and his elves spend all day making cogs and gears for marvellous mechanical gadgets and gizmos, and of course, they have their very own Christmassy steampunk workshop!
I knew I wanted to do something special with the metal birdhouse frame and what better than to go all out Christmas with it! The Rusty Pipeline mould is fantastic for creating various sizes of pipes and it was great fun fitting all the different bits and pieces together to create a candy cane pipeline.
I wanted a lot of texture on the project so I used a combination of Powder Blue texture paste from the Northern Lights Fantasy set, mini art stones and mica flakes, and lots and lots of dry brushing with white gesso to create the snowy effect. Unicorn paste is great for giving that extra glistening snowy sparkle on areas over the project.
I have a video for you
If you'd like to create your own Steampunk Santa workshop! Unfortunately the video cuts off before I decorated the base of the workshop but all you need to recreate this is some plain cloth like an old piece of linen or cheesecloth, lightly coat it with Soft Matte gel then mould onto the base until you've created a nice snowy mound. Finish by spreading some snowflake paste over the surface to even it out and get some additional winter sparkle, and then decorate with some fun festive pieces!
I hope this inspires you to create your own winter wonderland project and I'd love to see the results :)
