Christmas candle holder by Marietta Tegi

Hello Everyone!

Today I made a home decoration for you, which can be placed on the Christmas table with all the goodies. :)

First I applied white gesso to the candle holder, then I coated it with Finnabair Metallic Flakes. I used a green shade of liquid acrylic paint to soften the glitter and still give it a Christmas feel.

I used liquid acrylics for the mould elements, Burnt Sienna and True Yellow. 

I used Metallique Red Wine acrylic paint on the metal flowers, then white pearl and white gold wax.

I used other metal elements to create the composition: Winter Trinkets, Mini Stars, Woodland Ferns and Rusty Labels.

As a last step, I added some granular decorative elements.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Hugs

Halloween-themed creation by Marietta Tegi

Hello Everyone!

Today's creation is Halloween-themed, so it won't be left out this year.

As for the colours, even Wednesday might like to keep it on her shelf. :D

I glued old book pages to the base with soft matte gel and washi tape. Where there was no paper I covered it with black gesso, and the paper with clear gesso.

I stencilled with black gesso, then used a white gesso with a dry brush to highlight the edges and stencil.

I first painted the area under the rim of the glass with White Pearl acrylic paint, splashing more water on it to make the colour less intense. I then used liquid acrylic paints in the following shades: Ink Black, Burnt Sienna and Purple.

I used Ink Black acrylics for both the bone mould elements and the skulls.

The demonic chipboard elements were painted with purple liquid acrylic, geared chipboard elements with raven black sparks acrylic. I found burnt sienna suitable for the gear mould elements.

I used metal elements from Finnabair and Mitform Castings to brighten up the creation.

Finally; I sprinkled some granular decorative elements on the top and stamped a little.

Have a nice day 

Marietta
