Mucha: The Moon and the Stars: The Moon

Here is my rendition of Mucha's The Moon and the Stars. The poster in the middle was produced in 1902. In this collage piece I have used melted scented wax that has been impressed with various stamps. These have then been adhered by modelling paste onto the board. The middle has a light dusting of glitter with black sand, and some of the melted wax also has added glitter and black sand. I have used Prima Marketing's Bindery paper and Graphic 45 Kraft to add the ephemera look, and the final touch is dry painting a wood glaze over the modelling paste and parts of the collage.

The Old Curiosity Shop

And here we have Graphic 45s new Old Curiosity Shop papers. I have added various embellishments to kind of turn this shadow box into a curiosity shop. Little bottles, gears, jade tokens, coins, sea glass, lots of metal bugs, beetles, butterflies, dragon flies, ... the wonder of actually owning such a shop.
