mini Voodoo Kit

Hi all ...
Long time no see .. I'm so sorry. But I won't go into details.
As a lucky member of the decoart outreach program I (see sidebar) I'm sharing a mini Voodoo kit in a shadow box today.



For the background I used the image transfer technique with the pic of a Voodoo doll from the web (not to be recognized anymore ;-)), applied crackle glaze clear and washed quin gold and yellow iron oxide into the cracks

I had a small mini Voodoo booklet for many, many years. From this I copied a few pages and aged the paper a bit (distress ink stains, Aquawax, quin gold ...).

I also had two knobs from a certain Swedish furniture shop that I rusted with reactive metallic paints and adhered them to either side of the box.


The little bottle has been treated with crackle glaze, matte medium and quin gold and wrapped with a rusted wire (vinegar, salt, water); the bottlecap was treated with reactive metallic paints again.

For the frame I used an Andy Skinner technique that he teaches in one of his online workshops, some decoart americana paints and antiquing cream burnt umber and carbon black.

Finally everything was assembled.



 

Products involved:

  • Decoart Americana acrylic paints light and dark avocado, carbon black, yellow iron oxide.
  • Decoart media fluid acrylics quin gold, paynes grey
  • Decoart antiquing creams burnt umber, carbon black
  • Decoart media crackle glaze clear
  • Decoart media satin varnish matte
  • Decoart matte medium

Thank you ever so much for stopping by, hope you like the shadow box.
Have a great day everyone.
Hugs, Suzanne xxx
