Mysterious world caught in a Time Machine

 

Dear Reader

This is a project I created using a long list of products (I have added it at the end of this post) where I just played and experimented using my favorite game... WHAT IF...

I created a super speedy version of my 3 hours (or more) of playing here: https://youtu.be/ArSTjiDzvx8

Below you can see the 14cm plastic Christmas ornament covered with the Allegro paints mixed with Pouring medium...  

I cleaned the ball pieces with alcohol and then applied a coat of part 1 Crackle Vetro on the outside of the halves and let this dry.  I used this to help make the paint stick.

Allegro Bianco KAL11

Allegro Nero KAL 103

Allegro Terra d'Ombra KAL106

Allegro Mattone KAL20

Allegro Turchese KAL25

Allegro Arancione KAL08

I mixed 5 (not including nero) allegro paints with the Pouring medium in ratio: 1 part water, 1 part paint and 1 part Pouring medium.  I gave all the colours except white 3 drops of silicone and poured them all into the white cup.  This was then poured over the dome.

When this was dry, I sprayed the inside of one dome with the Mirror mist and the outside of the other one.  

To create this I used the Pizza box as a base which I covered in primer.  I then used two sheets of the A3 clocks around the edges which I crunched and then glued on to give a more weathered look.

I glued the 12x12 London map on the back of the box  

The half ball with the mirror mist on the outside, I covered with the London map rice paper and added the printed metal strip and lock from the 12 x 12 paper pad.

I cut the clock out of the paper sheet and glued the mechanical acetate A4 sheet behind it.  I cut the same size circle in the lid of the box.  I then glued on the paper and cut the door out of the box.

I cut the same circle out of the small 8x8 London map paper to put on the inside of the door, ready for later.

I painted the inside of the door with the white Allegro and Vicace Oro paint using a dry brush. I also painted the clock from the Cuts and Scraps and some of the gears at the same time for inside the one half of the ball.  I also used this technique on the base of the inside of the box that could be seen when standing open.

While I had the paint out, I dry brushed the white over the rice paper round the edge of the box to give it a worn aged look.

I put the Arhip sheet inside the box as a background using double sided tape

I glued the painted gears and clock inside the dome with the rice paper on as well as the Lady sitting on the box from the sticker sheet.and added the goggles sticker to the inside of the mirrored dome.

I poked a hole in the door to put the ring fastener in.  (the ring and the round plate were removed from it.) I placed the rice paper dome on the outside of the acetate and the other one on the inside and used the ring fastener to join them together.

I glued the small London map sheet in place on the inside of the door and cut the top so that the dome could turn.  To hide the "legs" of the fastener, I added a painted gear.

For the finishing touches I added the left over stickers to the outside of the box, using the two hinges back to back as a handle and to stop the door falling into the box.  So that the stickers stood out from the background paper, I watered down some nero Allegro paint and gave them a drop shadow.
