Hi everyone, it's Etsuko My favorite things with you today, and I'd like to share with you Shadow Box Lab using fabulous new Hot Picks stamps.
I
love imagining and creating something from vintage objects and junk.
The theme of Creative Lab is perfect for this and with Hot Picks images
too!! So I immediately created a laboratory in the garage.
I
had the framed box with the embellishments in it, so I added a few more
frames to it and made it the right size, then gessoed it.
I
stamped HP2101EZ and HP2102EZ stamps randomly on kraft colored tissue
paper with Sepia Archival ink.These stamps re new, and therefore
available exclusively from our approved retailers (list at the bottom of
this blog post)
The tissue paper was torn and pasted with matte gel.
I also applied a mixture of Pumpkin Soup
and matte gel to deli paper (the deli paper is semi-translucent),
crinkled the dry paper and applied the matte gel to create an uneven
surface. I wanted to use the tissue paper, but when I crumpled it up it
turned white and didn't blend in with the original base, so I used deli
paper instead.
The boys and jars are painted with Chocolate Pudding Fresco paints to give them vintage colors, sepia-toned look.
The gears, cogs, and some of the machines were made from Smoothy White card with a base of black gesso, Chocolate Pudding, Mahogany, Truffle, Smoked Paprika and Pea Coat Fresco Paints to give a rusty look.
The
commanding woman from an unknown planet?? Planets stamped with
Snowflake StazOn Pigment on the acetate and the blue frame was painted
with Deep Sea Fresco paint.
Boys for hire... Boys, planets, blue motif and words 'fear less' HP2101EZ and HP2102EZ. The tiny tags and bottles are from HP1109EZ.
An Energy generator... mostly made of the paper painted the rust color, wire and some junk.
An
Extractor... I thought these 'balloons' were interesting and combined
them with tubes to create this machine. Then I made the window in
acetate and stamped the image in white with the chemical equations model
of HP2102EZ.
I had a lot of fun making this shadowbox and I hope you all enjoyed looking at it.
Thank you so much for visiting by.

Such detail and determination in your shadowbox absolutely comes through, Etsuko! I will have to dedicate a weekend when I'm ready to be inspired by your "machine"! Those exploding bottles!- who wouldn't crave those???
Absolutely jaw-droppingly brilliant, Etsuko... your rusted paint effects are fantastic, the tiny bottles are really wonderful, and I adore all the different patinas and textures and ideas. Genius use of the stamps... altogether a real treat. Bravo!
