Dragon Eye box

,,Imagination is more important than knowledge .Knowledge is limited .Imagination encircles the world '' -Albert Einstein''

Hi I'm so happy to be a guest designer at a Vintage Journey !!I create a Dragon Eye box with beautiful Creative Embellishments chippies .

What I did first was to used stencil and modelling paste to create wall. When it dry I applied black gesso and antigue cream carbon black . I wiped some gesso with wet wipes .On the corner I put on some modelling paste to create dragon effect ;) Next I applied some acrylics paint -gold and just touch of inka gold -old  silver . 

On the front of the box I added beautiful dragonfly wings .I covered them with black gesso ,and added some colors. There I also a small elf hide into a cabochon.

On the side of the box I put a gold steampunk dragonfly with some small gears.

On the top I glued amaizing flourish frames with dragon eye inside . For my background I used modelling paste and lots of gazue , tulle and lace. I start to added all embellishments : flowers , buttons, metal parts and little bottle . I painted everything with black gesso .

 
To make the texture of my box more intresting ,I sprinkled some micro beads. I cover them with black gesso .As the final step. I started playing with colors . I used mists : Distress spray stain:peacock feathers , tarnished brass 13 arts: pearl violet ,turquise light. Mica powders: blue opal magic ,gold opal magic, purple .DecoArt acrylics paint : cobalt turquise , rich espresso ,venetian gold.

I hope you enjoyed my make and found it inspirational .XOXO Aisha
