Altered Lantern Fairy House - Mixed media Project

When you have limited supply and you still want to craft, you alter things 😁
Here I have altered a lantern. 

I primed it with black gesso inside and out after removing the glasses first! (Trust me, not an easy job! But a necessity step if u want your glasses to remain unstained with paints). After the priming was done I used a mix of acrylic and chalk paints to give the galaxy look to the walls. I sprayed on some white chalk paints to give the starlit night effect. And arbitrarily added few sparkly ones. To give texture I added few embellishments.

Replaced my glasses carefully back in and filled the inner floor with some fibres, branches  and pearls to give a cloudy heavenly look 😇

I wanted moon to be my focal point as I dint have anything readily available, I cut a crescent from thermocol coated it with mixed media paste and gave it a coarse uneven surface to match the moon's surface. Shaded it slightly with some blacks, Greys, silver to make it look as natural as possible.

For the Angel👼, I used a resin embellishment I got from Archu's Art World and coated it with metallic waxes that I wanted to color it with.
To finish off, I added few flowers and fillers to enhance the overall look of my Altered Lantern Fairy House 🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️

This can be used as a home decor, office desk decor, add a few fairy lights and it can be a beautiful night lamp too 🎊🎉💃

Hope you guys like it 🥰
