Hello Creative people !!!

Its my very first inspiration for (I cannot still believe I say that ) Beinda Basson Creative Team . I have an honor to be first team member featured here.

As my very first inspiration I made an Ornament. It could be used the whole year around as decor, but I have made mine with Christmas in mind.

For the base of my project I used Stamperia Soft Clay and  formed some beads and T-shaped base. Then I covered it with paint to give it some color and a nice contrast to the resin casts. The gold looking beads are Clear cabochon glued together with gold leaf between.

To stick them together I Used crystal Resin.

All other elements are resin casts gilded with gold flakes.

I'm absolutely in love with all Lady Vagabond molds. There is SO MUCH DETAIL in each and every single one of them . They are steampunk themed and I just cannot pass by anything steampunk.

The Ornamental parts on my piece are made from parts of key moulds cast in resin ( If you cut them apart just after curing while resin is still soft you can get seamless cut)  For the silver accent I have used snowflake clear resin cast  treated with Mirror Effect paint on the back so it looks super vintage and reflective.

Wings took a little bit of fuss as I ran only skeleton using resin in the very deepest area of my mould and after gilding I stuck on  rice paper and covered with resin.

To add final touch I used my beloved patina Ombra.

Overall the whole project turned out better than I expected and ornaments like this would be very cool last minute Christmas makes if you have some time for Crystal resin to cure.
