Altered Tin Truck

Hello everyone,

Sharing my altered tin toy truck showcasing mother nature with the beauty of flora and fauna which the nature holds. This is my DT project for Mixed Media Academy for month of July.

Nature is mysterious... get ready for an adventure ride, take the scenic route and be close to the nature... leaving behind all stress and worries.

Nature's peace will flow into you and bring happiness and calmness in your life... so always keep close to nature's heart. Enjoy it's eternal beauty.

Entering this project for More Than Words Challenge: July 2020 Main Challenge - Goodbye Monochromatic 

Nature is the best healer. That's the message I want to convey with this project. Goodbye to all stress, worries and problems. The green truck with all nature's flora and fauna depicts a ride to healthy and happy life. Going away from sorrow, worries, the current problem the world is facing; saying "Goodbye" to all unhappiness and welcoming the peace which the nature holds.

I have used multiple shades of green. The green monochromatic shades depict color of life, hope, renewal, joy and freshness.

Happy Crafting.

Stay safe and stay blessed!

Love, Hope & Dreams - Mixed Media Altered Wooden House

Hello Everyone,

Sharing my project, an altered wooden house which I have created for "Finnabair June Art Receipe Challenge".

This is the first time I am submitting my artwork for this challenge, so very excited! This Art Receipe concept is so fascinating, that I was highly inspired and tempted to participate in it!

It was challenging but fun to stick to the given color palette. For this alteration from the products listed in the challenge, I used "Paper Texture Paste" and Metallique Paints - "Soft Satin", "Red Wine", and "Deep Waters". I also used some of the metal embellishments from Mechanical Metal - "Flowers", "Grungy Butterflies", "Mini Stars", "Pocket Watches", "Metal Patina Trinkets Stroked Leaves".

I truly, enjoyed the whole process from assembling the wooden pieces to make the house, building the roof with cardboard pieces, using the moon mould for the first time with resin, and most importantly adding my son's photo when he was 5 years old.

I have titled my Altered House project as: "Love, Hope & Dreams" - as I believe, home is always the starting place for Love, Hope and Dreams.

I truly relished every minute creating it, hope you like it too.
