Diysilart Design Team members creation for Lady Vagabond

Dear Reader

Today I have Silvia of Diysilart with her make over of a pair of binoculars!  I love this idea as Lady Vagabond has a pair hanging off her belt, so this is a very fitting piece to make over indeed!

Here are some close ups for you to see all the layers and moulds as well as the chipboards that she used.

First she gessoed the whole pair of binoculars...

Then she added rice paper DFSA4522 Strange London Guide over the gesso.  This is what is so lovely about rice paper is that it is so flexible and can be wrapped around just about anything!

Finally she added some points of interest by using the moulded items from K3PTA487 and painted them with Allegro paints to give a worn, aged look.  You can also see the giant metal gear in this photo above as well as some of the grey chipboards which she has painted to match.  Creating layered groups of objects is always visually pleasing to the eye. 

This strap is from her own stash of stuff, but adds a lovely detail.

Here you can see the Lady Vagabond herself in the form of a chipboard adhered to the binoculars.

This word Explore is from the greyboard laser cut outs and she has used the Turquoise glamour paste on it for a little bit of sparkle.

The key and chain are also from her own stash of stuff, but adds a gorgeous detail to the project.

I love the way Silvia has used the pop of turquoise to lead your eye around the whole project!

I hope you enjoyed looking at these photos and feel inspired to make over an object you have in your stash too!
