Shadow box - Artist grunge studio

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

 As I saw our latest MDF Mini Furniture Kits I was inspired to create

a shadow box in vintage grunge style.

Love this grandfather clock, really awesome and very sweet,

could also imagine in a bigger size for a lot ideas. 

New Kit's are very easy to assemble, with a little glue they are very sturdy.

I have primed them only with a little brown acrylic paint and then highlighted 

with metal wax.  

 

And another great novelty at Calico Craft Parts

you can find here
 new Add On sheets, 

bricks, stones and roof tiles in three different sizes. 

They can be used for a lot of projects,

awesome 3d effects, as you can see

in this project too.

 with white crackle paste

 and distress ink for stains and splashes.

Witching Hour in Haunted Castle

 Hello creative friends!

 

I was thrilled as I discover the Haunted Castle Shrine at Calico Craft Parts, great, 

it looks like an enchanted castle, right?! and remind me on Disney film stories.

At first I was not sure how I wanted to design the interior, then these old grandfather clocks 

came into my mind and I decided to hang a clock pendulum inside.

 

 

 Tips & Tricks

first I drilled a hole in the middle of the upper part, then I connected the border 

with the spider's web with the help of a small metal ring (from jewelry making),

 the upper part of the oak vine was pushed through the opening and fixed with 

another small wooden part,
now the pendulum was free to move

from my own experience I can now report that the oak vine

 is too delicate for the constant Tick Tack , Tick Tack 😏of the clock pendulum, 

from experience one becomes wise, right?! 

for the clock pendulum I used the following parts:

Spider Web Flourish

Oak Leaves and Acorns Border

completed with  

Winged Devil

 Creatures of the Night - Sheet of Halloween Mini Wood Shapes

 

base - before coloring and designing

pendulum swings - tick tack, tick tack
