    Hi, this is brilliant, I want to do a mixed media cover for an album I have collected things I want to do it steam punk I have never done anything like this before i need to take the plunge and just start it but it is knowing where to start and how. I can look at what everyone else is doing and pick up hints and tips from them but it is about making it your own and how to do this I will have to keep looking thanks I love your piece it is nice that you did not cover the jewllery up in black or white paint I was hoping you would not do that. I sometimes think that covering a piece all in black when you have stuck them down is a bit criminal .. Lovely piece thank you regards Debbie {not david} xxxxxx

    • @craftydirt1008
      @craftydirt1008  5 років тому +1

      Sometimes it helps to lay it out before you start so you have an idea of how it will look. I use matte gel medium to glue my pieces down. After I have glued my pieces down and let them dry I use gesso to prime whatever pieces I am going to paint. I use acrylic paint and water to paint it. I hope this helps. Good luck and have fun! Thank you for watching and thank you for your kind words. Happy creating!

      Sorry, It was one of my first videos and I wasn’t quite sure what I was doing. I used a homemade gesso recipe I found online, but I can’t remember which one. Store bought gesso would work just fine. It was a canvas from Walmart 11x14. I also used a mat gel medium from Liquitex to adhere my elements. The textures are scraps of burlap, cheesecloth, twisted craft paper, the wooden spacers from a bunch of canvases, junk jewelry, and flat marbles for flower arrangements. The paints are just the gesso and some apple barrel acrylics from Walmart but I do not remember the names of them. I also used a spray bottle of water to make the paint effect I wanted. I hope that helps. Thanks so much for watching.

    which gesso did you use and what kind of paints did you use? also how long does the gesso take to dry up before you apply next layer? do you need to wait to dry it completely to apply paint on top? thanks for the video, learnt a lot

    • @craftydirt1008
      @craftydirt1008  4 роки тому +1

      I made a homemade gesso with pva glue, white acrylic paint, baby powder, and water to get the thickness I wanted. There are a lot of tutorials for DIY gesso recipes. Or there are a lot of gessos on the market if you do not want to make your own. My paints are just cheap acrylic paints from Walmart for this one and I used a spray bottle of water to get the effects I wanted. I did dry my gesso completely but if you are impatient like me, I used a hair dryer on a low setting to speed up the process. Thank you for watching! ❤️

      Hi. I tried google translate and it didn’t translate well, so I’m going to try to answer what I thought you were asking. I’m not sure of the actual color I used but they are just craft acrylic paints from Walmart. The canvas is from Walmart also. I made some homemade gesso but you can purchase just plain white gesso. All my brushes are from Walmart. I used Liquitex matte gel medium to glue to elements on. The rest is just scraps of fabric, paper, wood, and some junk jewelry I already had lying around.

    Too much paint wasted if the final coloring is going to be the end results. Place everything in layers then paint. Otherwise, I felt like I was watching a meat lovers pizza being made....its beautiful dont get me wrong, but it started with beige, maroon, then those colors were not shown once blue and green took over. IJS.

    • @craftydirt1008
      @craftydirt1008  5 років тому +1

      The beige and maroon were just pieces of material I used to create texture. The final piece was always meant to be green and blue. It's just my process I guess. Thanks for watching.

      I think every step you did was perfect, because that’s your process and because of that the end results are beautiful. We are each moved and inspired and our creativity is sparked in our own unique and special way, if not, our art might all look the same. Also it takes time putting a video together so I’d like to thank you for doing that, sharing your own unique process and putting it out into the world for others to watch and be inspired. This project you shared has a lot of interesting textures and layers. I really love how the wood and burlap textures come through. I also really love the shades of green and blue together also the metal flowers and other baubles, and everything pops with the dark shading. It’s perfect and simply beautiful. The last couple of weeks I’ve been in a bit of a creative funk, feeling unmotivated and lacking inspiration, but today thankfully that’s changed. Thanks to stumbling upon and watching your video has once again filled me with enthusiasm and rekindled my lacking inspiration so I’m off to my craft table to create. Once again though I’d like to thank you for taking the time to share a piece of yourself with your creative process, It is greatly appreciated and in my case it’s been helpful in getting me out of my slump. Happy creating :o)
