When spring awakes

Hello dear Wild Orchid Crafts friends!

It's Aleksandra again with you today and I'm back with my new project for you, to get you inspired and to get your crafting mojo on. :)

I have to tell you I can not wait for the spring to come. I so much enjoy the warmth of the first spring sunshine, the smell and colorful play of the blossoming flowers, the joyous singing of birds, the nature bursting and awakening in all her glory. Are you the same? This off the page project - box with a blossoming birdcage, took me on the springtime walk for a moment. I enjoyed it so much and I hope you will too.

Wooden flower house

Hi everyone, Mireille with you today. I have another home decor project to share, this time I use a leftover piece of wood and asked my dad to cut it in a house shape. I then simply sanded the edges, gave it two coats of gesso and I was good to go! I used mica sprays to color my pieces, white gesso for the highlights and Inka-Gold for the gold shine.

"Love" frame

Hi everyone, Mireille here! I'm back with another home decor creation, this time made inside a wooden frame. I started with an application fo modelling paste with a spatula to give my background some texture. Than I glued in place my embellishments , including many Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, with heavy gel medium. When everything was dry, I apply two coats of gesso on top. I also add gold crawling medium and let everything dry overnight.

 I then paint my projects with acrylics mica glazes in several colors. Then, I sprayed the entire project with dark gray mica mist and finally add some highlights with gesso.

 I hope you like it, see you next week.
