Steampunk Book Box
https://www.faithpocockcraftstudio.com/product-page/mdf-book-boxes
This is such a fun book box to work with.
Let’s start the fun!
I used Stamperia steampunk molds, and used resin to create the mold.
Use black gesso to coat the whole base, inside and outside.
I like to seal it with gel, but this is optional.
Use your molds you created and some chipboard, cogs, clocks, and netting.
Now the fun begins, start adding your embellishments, I am using gel to add mine.
Start with your backgrounds first, then layer on the rest. Just have fun and don’t get too pedantic.
I added some large and small Prima stones to help build texture. Paint the gel on top of the embellishments for the stones to adhere. Don’t worry the gel dries clear.
Emboss another foundry panel for the other side and sand lightly and wax.
Here I added Tim Holtz number stamps.
I added a pocket watch, which I dressed up with effects paste.
On top of the stamps to give texture, I went over the stamped numbers with Prima effects paste with a brush.
Add it to the panel, with a picture from the 1900s.
For the other side, highlight your steampunk mold with waxs.
Then glue on.
I hope you had fun creating this steampunk box. The techniques you have learned here can be transferred to any type of molding project you do.
Now to finish the front of the box, continue to highlight with waxes. Just have fun with the colours.
I added some cogs to help with dimension.
I added effects paste to add a rust effect.
I hope you had fun creating this steampunk box. The techniques you have learned here can be transferred to any type of molding project you do.
