Time to Take Flight

Time for another great challenge over at Bleeding Art. we're not only all mixed media all of the time but anything goes all of the time! 

This month I thought I would alter small boot.

This is my unaltered boot which I purchases at a thrift store.

I first painted my boot with black gesso then added a Stamperia soft molded called Sea World which I painted with Pentart - Patina Effects. I added my wings which I recycled off of a small child's flying horse.  I also painted the wings with Patina Effect. 

My next step was to add my collection of gear, clocks and brads. Some of my findings were die cuts, metal findings and wooden gears. To add texture and aging to the gears etc I used embossing powders(Stampendous Shabby Blue and Chuncky Metallic) and Pentart's Rust Effect Paints.

Some other views

To highlight parts of the boot I used with Pentart's greenish silver metalic paint, and gold wax along with white gesso.

 I am sad to let you know that this is the last post for Crafty Cardmakers. I have participate in the group for more than 5 years and have enjoyed the group immensely. 

 Lin after 9 years of running things at Crafty Cardmakers has made the decision to close the blog. She has had health issues for some time now and has come to the realisation that actually struggling on like this has been stifling any creativity she started out with. 

So this will be our last challenge. Lin will be back on 9^th November with the winner and top 5 of this challenge but that will be our last post.

Thank you for all of our participants in the challenges. Keep on creating and stay safe.
