Altered box with Patina effect Ft. Craftbox Steampunk Cogs

 Hello Friends....

Today I’d like to share with you an altered box with patina effect featuring Steampunk Cogs & resin roses from Craftbox UK.

I was hoarding this box for a long time and loved to dirty my hands with paints.

My version of creating patina effect was with chalk and metallic paints

Here are the steps for easy Patina effect : 

1. I primed the box with black gesso. Then added some crackle paste randomly. Dry it thoroughly

2. Adhered the metal cogs and elements with heavy dimensional gel

3. Applied a coat of black and white gesso and let it dry

4. Coated with Teal and Sandstone colour chalk paints and let dry

5. Apply dry brush of blue metallic paints
