Hey guys,
Welcome to the EC blog for yet another inspiration. This is Madhurima here and going with this month's theme once again i.e., " Create Rust" I am sharing with you all a more shabby chic rusty project. This is yet another trash-to-treasure project. This project is very close to my heart because here I have used an old wrist watch which was a gift from my dad when I started my B.Tech. As it has become old and fallen apart so I thought why not use it in my project and keep it as a souvenir for the rest of my life. As you will see I have used two focal points in my composition. One of a much-grown woman superimposed over a small girl. This is to capture the time when I received the gift from dad i.e. when I started college. To me, that was the point in my life when I have grown from a small child to a more responsible woman ready to face the world and the watch tied up everything both physically and metaphorically.
For this, I have used a discarded cover of a desk calendar and with a few scrap pieces of leftover cardboard from previous projects, I started to build the composition again, layer by layer. Since I had a shabby chic rust theme in my mind so went in with the white gesso and primed each and every object very well. For the base coat, I have used metallic spray paints in the shades of violets and peaches. To achieve the rust effect I have used chroma bursts and metallic paints in the shades of reds and oranges.
Here are the close-ups of the project. The links to all the products and the detailed step-by-step tutorial are at the end of this blog post.
