AngelDream Crafts: wonky wood houses

Ok, lets get started! First task is to gesso your Wonky Wood House. You can use any of the selection of these houses, and maybe even make a few of them, I love these fun houses!

Once the gesso is dry, I sprayed on some of the Peony colour bloom spray in various places. Don't forget to do both sides of your house too!

I dried my spray with my heat gun, then it was time to apply my first colour of paint. I did a light coating just in random spots all over the house, mixing it in with the darker pink of the bloom spray.

Once this was dry, I got out the Ancient Coin paint and did the same thing. Making sure to cover the back and front, and both sides of the house.

Now It was time to snip out my images from the collage sheets and set them aside.

When the paint is dry, get out your stamps. I used some dark pink ink for my Skeleton flower stamp, and stamped it randomly on the front, back and sides.

I used my heat gut to set the ink, and once it was dry, I got out my Vintage Correspondence stamp and used some gold ink for that. I stamped this all over the house once again in the same method as before.

Here you can see the results of the stamping and paint.

Now it is time to work on my cut out collage images. I used some white glue, which dries clear, on the edges of the butterfly below, and also on some of the spots. I then sprinkled the gold mica flakes and glitter mix on top of the glue and set it aside to dry.

For this butterfly, I used the same glue and some pink glitter on the butterfly, also setting it aside to dry completely.

Now it is time for some foiling! I am using the Adhesive Rub Ons from Prima for this. I chose several images and stentiments for this, making sure to do the front and the back.

These Rub Ons are so easy to use, just remove the paper backing and rub on your surface using the popsicle stick that is provided in the package.

Once you have your adhesive rub on down, then place your foils, coloured side up on top of it, and again using the stick rub it on, and voila! You have a cool foil image on your project.

Now it was time to add my embellishments. I started with the crown from Tim Holtz and gave it a little foil treatment as well. I also used a vintage heart applique in the middle.

I then glued down my collage sheet images to the front. I cut up one of the butterflies and made them into wings for my fairy lady from the collage sheets. I also added a metal sentiment from Tim Holtz and some twine.

Below here you can see the finished project!

The final touch was some gold micro beads for texture, and a few gold sparkly enamel dots as well.

I hope you will give this project a try, it was super easy to do, and so much fun to make as well.

Please remember to check out the Joggles Store for all these items I used.

Have a great day!

Wonky Wood Houses A Joggles DT Project

Hello Joggles fans! I am so very excited to share with you my very first design team project for Joggles! This month I was asked for my take on some of the famous Wonky Wood Houses from Joggles.

I love these wonky houses, they come in many different shapes and sizes and are open to interpretation to each artist. Here is a list of all the things you will need to make houses like mine.

Joggles Products Used:

Wonky Wood Houses
Silks Acrylic Glaze Iridescent Blue
Silks Acrylic Glaze Guatemalan Green
Mod Podge Matte
Joggles Stencils - Branches [30-33714]
Dina Wakley Media White Gesso - 4oz Jar
Inkssentials Glossy Accents 2 fl. oz.
Stampendous Crushed Glass Glitter - Oceanic
Tim Holtz® Distress Spray Stains - Evergreen Bough

To start off your houses, I prepped them with gesso, and then when that was dry I added some fun scrapbook paper from my stash, in some colours I liked and used Mod Podge to adhere them.

Once the mod podge was dry, I got out my Branches Stencil from Joggles and some texture paste and added some pretty stencil images to my houses in a few different areas.

Next, I got out some Silks acrylic glazes in Guatemalan Green and painted the sides of the houses. Joggles has a huge selection of Silks, they are my some of my favorite items to use on my mixed media projects!

Once everything was dry, I got out my Evergreen bough Distress Spray Stain and gave some random shots of spray on top of the houses. This is where the texture paste comes in handy, as the spray collects in the crevices drips down the houses for a fun and shabby look. Use your own creative eye to see where you want to add the sprays to your piece.

I wanted to give the image of a roof on top of the houses, so I got out some my paper clay from my stash and used some molds I have to create the pieces for the roof and the little medallion at the top. I also painted the medallion in some silks acrylic glaze, in the same colour as the sides of the houses, and gave the longer pieces a coat of the Iridescent Blue. This gave the clay a lovely shimmer.

I glued the clay pieces down with hot glue and added some pretty flowers, metal embellishments and some word sentiments, which I glued down with Glossy Accents. I also used glossy accents to glue down some Glass Glitter to some areas of the houses to give them some sparkle. Where you place your embellishments is again up to you, see what looks good and what doesn't, its good to play around with things before you commit and glue them down.

You can see above the finished pieces. You can decorate your wonky wood houses anyway you like. That is the beauty of these, they can transform into anything. I plan on making more of these little houses in the near future. I hope you will make some and share your wonky wood houses with me!
