Collage box collection

After discovering that I had a reasonably big stash of interesting flyers, greetings cards, guidebooks and other bits of ephemera, and seeing this tutorial, I was really inspired to use it all for something.

This was helped by the fact that recently I've found a lot of really nice wooden boxes in charity shops for very cheap - all the ones pictured here were £2. Either I've been extremely lucky, or these things turn up very often and I just haven't been looking for them.

I've posted about some of these previously (here and here), but they were only half done and these pictures are better! Plus there is one new one.

First was this wooden chocolate box. Before...

And after!

You can tell this is my first one as I oversatured the paper with Mod Podge, leading to it bubbling and creasing, but for a first attempt I don't think it's bad at all.

All the pictures I used were taken from an exhibition guide for an event I went to called "Exploring the Gothic" which contained a lot of beautiful pictures. The floral parts were from a pad of scrapbooking paper, which I also used to make the individual compartments (they are origami boxes, see a tutorial for how to make them here) and I then filled them with pieces from my collection of beads, charms, and broken jewellery.

I also had a guide to a William Blake exhibition I'd been to, and since there was an entire plate from "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" I had to make it into a miniature wall plaque.

I did this one at the same time as the first, and again you can kind of see that I oversatured the paper which caused it to tear slightly, however thankfully it wasn't in an area where there was any writing.

(BTW, if anyone is interested in the meaning of this section, Blake is describing his creative process, albeit in a fantastical way. This blog post gives a good analysis)

The next one was a beautiful little cabinet with a broken handle.

And here is what I did with it. I kept the collaging to a minimum, only on the inside, though I might add something to the outside in the future. The replacement "handles" are a pair of my earrings!

I used some more of the gothic exhibition guide and scrapbook paper, and also a flyer for a ballet version of Dracula. I need to find some more interesting things to fill it as it currently only contains my resin crow's skull and a miniature book of Tennyson poems. Also my Cthulhu candle gets to sit on top and be worshipped by the skeleton on the right door.

I did much better with the collaging process on this one. I was a lot more patient, used less Mod Podge for each layer and allowed them to dry fully in between, resulting in no tears, bubbles or creasing.

The final and most recent is this plain box. I noticed it originally came from somewhere called "Palmyra Hardware" which instantly made me think of the Palmyra Wolves (I'm a fan of MrBallen and saw him tell the story on his YouTube channel) which gives a pleasantly creepy angle to this one before I even did anything to it!

After collaging

The central image on the outside is another William Blake painting, an illustration to Dante's Inferno, which includes the famous quote "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here". The writing saying "The way, the truth, the life" came from a religious leaflet that a friend of mine was forcibly given, and which he ripped to shreds, but I saved this part because for some reason I liked it.

Inside we've got a very famous Blake painting called "The Ancient of Days", the praying skeleton again as this image was reproduced several times in that guidebook, and a block printed demon from a handmade birthday card that a friend gave me several years ago. I'm very pleased to have finally been able to use him for something!

I've enjoyed making all of these immensely and no doubt I will do more in the future as I collect more papers and find more nice boxes 😊

has anyone here used any type of like, acrylic sealer before? like mod podge stuff? im looking to find a way to waterproof my stickers before i sell them, and i was wondering, can you still colour on top of the sealer? like can i still sell these as a "colour-it-yourself" thing if a sealant has already been applied? will markers and pencil crayon even stick if its not bare paper? am i fucked????

i know i'll probably just have to buy some and try it out, but id really like to know if anyone has an experience before i spend 40$ on testing it lol

so a few months back me and @bigyetimane got some canvas boards and mod podge to goof around with our stacks of old mags. And they just tickle me--

His is so nice and well staged with dramatic black spaces and color coordination and mines like HEE HOO CARTOONS AND A BAND STICKER FROM 2008

Bonus: I did manage to carefully remove this bad boy from an ancient, wrinkly gameinformer. So I got that goin for me.

Such a nice way to pretty-up a plain drum shade with decoupage. I do like the combo of white with dashes of bright colors. Tutorial by Hannah Bruneman at Better Homes & Gardens; photo by Jay Wilde.

I made these bottle cap and Mod Podge Dimensional Magic memorial pins for my animals last night. I made one for my childhood dog Jake too but I dropped it and cannot find it so I'm remaking it. I'm remaking the one with Mohsen too because the first one had bubbles in. My printer sucks despite being a photo printer so the images aren't the best quality, but whatever.

[Image Description: three bottle caps with photos of animals in them, filled with a clear resin-like coating. In the first one, a small orange cat with yellow eyes is sticking his head out of a plastic toy barn. In the second, a fluffy multicolored dog with his tongue blepping out is laying on a couch on top of a colorful quilt. There is a group of small bubbles on this photo. In the third, a small tabby cat with green eyes is cuddling a hand. End I.D.]

#Everest was going to go in my locket but the printer was really struggling to handle black and his photo is all streaky #I have no glue that will adhere metal to metal so for now I'm just duct taping safety pins on and hoping for the best #pins and buttons #buttons and pins #Pyewacket #Mohsen #Nerys #image described #mod podge #arctic's art adventure

Homemade Beholder

I didn’t have a beholder mini at the time so I made one using Sculpey Air Dry Modeling Clay, toothpicks, sewing pins and a clear decorative glass rock for the eye. The image on the left shows it unfinished. I started out with a ball of clay a little bigger than a golf ball. The toothpicks around the head were just to create the holes for the eye stalks. I ended up using large-headed sewing pins with different colored ends for them which I bent and wrapped in clay. The tongue is secured into the mouth with another toothpick and glue. The main eye was also glued on at the end after painting. The image on the right is the finished mini. I’m happy with how it turned out! It’s painted in layers of brown and bronze with earth-tone washes and sealed with glossy mod podge to give it that gross wet look xD

OH BOY! I’m making a sketch/ideas book out of an old agricultural manual from the 70’s. Found this thick book at the local thrift store and some mod podge and said why not?

Tested with various ink pens including Higgins ink and it’s working gooooood. Pretty happy with it honestly.

I’ll keep posting the progress and what I put inside it for y’all!
