Mixed Media Tutorial on Brand Zero's Mdf Clock Base by Priya Gajjar

Hi friends,  Priya here from Priyas Studio, today I m here with another gdt project for Nagashri Arts . Today I have made a  Volume Decoupage/Sospeso clock with mixed media so let's start and see how u can create the same .


First I took the sospeso sheets / Volume Decoupage Sheets and fussy cut the flowers.

Next light a tea light and heat the fussy cut flowers on it and immediately emboss them . Same procedure for the leaves.

Next I added pollens to the flowers using berry and micro pollens .now for my base , I used the Hut Shape Clock Base Big Size  and roman dial base from www.nagashriarts.in. I used a wall stencil and added texture with texture paste on the sides.

Next I colored the centre part with chalk paints in dark blue and grey mixed together  . After it dried,I added one step crackle medium and after it dried applied white gesso and light blue and grey chalk paint on it after the cracks formed I sprayed the area with sprinkle mists in blue and white .

Next I colored the bricked wall with brown and grey chalk paint and later brushed it with white gesso and inka gold or you can use any other metallic color.

Now I stuck art stones and sead beads/micro beads randomly and sprayed them with blue and white sprays and brushed them with a touch of inka gold / metallic inks 

Finally I assembled the prepared flowers and leaves , added flat gold beads and  shells and sprayed auto clear spray  all over and sprinkled glitter.

Lastly added the clock machine and fixed the clock hands and completed  my project . Here are few more detailed pictures of the clock. Here I am sharing few images . Do share some love.

To create side hanging 



Material used
3. crochet and checkered lace
4. jute cord in green colour 
5. small yellow pom poms

Steps to make hangings 

1. I interlocked almost 9 jump rings , I used i_ pins and beads and fixed them by making a loop in the jump rings  
2. I stitched the jump rings on one side of the handle , on that I stitches a crochet bow made from the lace  
3. I tied the green jute cord around the bow and stuck small yellow pom poms on the cord 
4. I stitched the yellow jute rose made from the jute sheets on the bow centre . Then  made 2 yellow tassels by rolling         yellow anchor embroidery thread over my 3 fingers and tying then from the top and cutting off the roll from the other end 
5.Now I stitched this tassel on the jute cord base and also made 2 checked lace bows and stitched them above the yellow tassel and stuck yellow pompoms on it 
6. Lastly I sandwiched 2 gota Patti rounds on each side of the jute cords and finished my charm .

To create  jute flowers



Material used
1. Yellow jute A4 size

Steps to create  jute flowers
1. have divided the jute sheet in yellow colour in half , drew a spring circle on it wid a pencil and cut along with the lines to get a springy shape 


2.then I rolled the jute spring into a rose flower 
3. from the other 1/2 , I divided it further into half and created a small rose in the same way 
4.Next I cut the brown and white jute sheets into 4 parts each and rolled each into small Rose's.


Preparing the bag for final decorations 

1.first  stuck the jute burlap lace in 2 lines on the bag with fabric glue 
2.next I stuck the crochet lace in the middle of the burlap lace and on the two sides . 
3. I stuck the checkered lace above the crochet lace from the base side 



4. I stuck the crochet rounds randomly in a corner and on that I stuck the jute Rose's.



5.I started finishing my composition by stitching  the gota circles,  buttons and filigree .

And taddddaaaaa..... this beautiful tote bag is ready to use.....
