Steampunk heart

 At Tattered laboratory we are continuing with making some Valentine’s projects and most of them are made out of lace and fabric to get ito the romantic mood. But we know that some of you need also a different project in case you don’t like the sweetmess of lace. I decided to create a Steampunk heart. Also in RL this project seem really made out of steal thanks to the Glimmer Glazes!!!! This paints are amazing and perfectly support the trick.

 

And now let me reveal the trick: The base is just a cardboard heart like in my Ruffled heart project . To cover the look of the cardboard I smoothed the heart with adding on some  modeling clay.

After that I rolled a big piece of modeling clay, covered the heart and cut away the excess.

Than I dried the heart and shaped it into a steal covered object. The most amazing part was painting it. I used these Glazes: Nori, Champagne, Icicle, Pewter andJava. In some surfaces I combined two colors in other I used just one Glimmer glaze.

So, here you have a different idea and I hope it will have sweet consequences anyway
