Treasured Memories asked me to come up with a kit for Finnabair Rusty bird House,
So continuing with my fascination with tiny houses here is my take.
I made a turret on top, complete with window, flat roof and rounded shakers. I recently re-discovered my bendy straws so I added a steampunk edge with piping and gears.
The cut outs are Mintay paper elements, fuzzy cut and inked.
I kept two sides simple (because i love simple) then two sides busy for those that believe more is better. This is also my favorite blue- Tiffany blue as i like to call it.
The straws are painted with black gesso, then Art Academy metallic Steampunk Copper. You can still scrape off the paint but unless you make a effort to remove paint you will good.
Layer on the gears and cut outs to make clusters on two sides. I used the smaller gears to hold pipes in place, this needed to dry overnight.
The Close Ups- Happy Victoria Long Weekend! Enjoy the sunshine (finally we had snow this week)
Chipboard is available on the etsy store
