May the fourth be with you – Steampunk princess Leia
Every star wars fan knows todays date: May 4th. Or ‚may the fourth by with you‘. That’s why I call todays project Leia.
This is basically what you need for this project (Silver StazOn is missing in the image):
My project started when I recently found a dead firefly, the poor creature must have been caught behind my gardening tools with the last days of summer last year. It was still beautiful yet fragile and was almost destroyed when I picked it up. ICE Resin is the perfect medium to preserve any fragile and dry object. I have put the 4 wings to my Imagine Crafts craft mate, which I think is perfect to work with ICE Resin.
Then I stamped the dress form from Stampendous onto a sturdy watercolor cardboard with black Memento and cut it out.
I have prepared my ICE Resin as usual and covered the wings completely from both sides. I also covered the cut out print with ICE Resin from both sides. The paper didn’t become transparent because the paper was extremely thick. While I covered the wings I used the Resin as a kind of glue, after the Resin is set the wings are fixed. You have to let cure the Resin for 24 hours.
EXTRA-TIP: If you brush ICE Resin to the craft mat, you will get some drops and puddles. Let them cure and save for later projects. You can add the cured drops with a bit of glue for water effects on any papercraft.
Then I used a brush with silver StazOn on the body of the dress form and let dry. With a paper tissue I added some purple StazOn (oh my! I love it!) to the bottom of the dressform and the silver top. With craft glue I added some screw-nuts and gears for the Steampunk look.
With a thick wire attached to the back the firefly dressform became a flower marker.
The silver StazOn has been perfect to paint the resinated parts of the dress form. The StazOn will dry permanent on any coated surface. Because is has been painted on the raised areas of the Resin it gave a real realistic look of metal.
I wanted to match the dressform with my little toy to make the Star Wars connection:
For the flower pot and an extra Steampunk feeling I used an old wooden box, covered it with some foil on the inside to protect the wood from the potting soil. With some weeds (bugleweed, red robin) and moss from my garden I made this floral centerpiece. I hope you like it.
Support is LOVE
