Steampunk Grimoire [Tutorial / Flexible Mass]

in #art6 years ago (edited)
Hi stemit community today I present the elaboration of a Grimoire in Flexible Mass, which has Steampunk style finishes; A Grimoire is considered an ancient magic book, alluding to this we begin.


Materials

  • Flexible dough
  • White glue.
  • Handcream
  • Stilettos
  • X-act
  • Work area lined with Contac paper
  • Brushes
  • Acrylic Paint (Black, Aged copper and bronze finish).
  • Metallic Painting (Inca Gold and Copper).
  • Argollas, Eyedpins and Chains.

Step 1

Take the Flexible Mass and mold it with the help of a roller until it is 3 or 4 millimeters thick, then with the help of the X-acto make irregular cuts which will give shapes to the leaves of the grimoire; Then, with the help of the roller, you extend another piece of Flexible Mass to make the covers and spine of the grimoire and fix it with White Paste to the surface of the leaves.



Step 2

Cut strips of Flexible Mass of 2 and 3 millimeters wide, with the help of the stilettos fix the strips to the edges and around the grimoire, then take a circle of raisins and with the fingers flatten, then with the help of the X-acto cut so that there is a kind of flame which you will fix with the White Pega.




Step 3

Then add the relevant elements to the Steampunk Style which in this case are Screws, in addition, in the back takes a sphere that you will flatten a bit with the help of the fingers and then with the helpless side of X-Acto make marks as a kind of dragon's eye.



Step 4

Once all the details of the Grimoire have been added, start anchoring the entire piece with Black Acrylic Paint (Eye: Try not to paint the Grimoire leaves with the paint), Once the piece is dry, with Metallized Paint and the Technique of Dry Brush we apply the colors Bronze and Inca Gold to the pieces to finally place the Eyedpins, Argollas and chain to the piece.




Final Score




I hope you liked this project where a simple book can contain so much magic.
