This years festival was to be airships.
So back late last year i set to making a pattern for
an air ship small but to see I was on the right track
of making it .
Before cutting in using the brown card stock i had i
grabbed a orange (that i knew i would not miss if it
did not work)
Cut it out went together so well I was soo pleased
with it that I added trims onto it to get the thickness
look that i was after I layered 6 of the same gears
on top of each other . Did some quilled card stock to
add other trims
It was all about building up the look till I was soo
happy with it (but had done all this work and it is
ORANGE!)
Added the pipe work at the back shapping the pipe
pieces as i glued them together .
So once it was all done I was in love with it that I
then took brown acrylic paint and gave it two coats of
it. After it was dry I used some gold and sliver acrylic
paint on my fingers and used it to highlight the raised
areas.
And sat alongside the small train set at the festival
