Altered gumball machine

Dear crafting friends. 

At last I found a gumball machine, and the first I thought about when I saw it was: I must make it RUSTY! 

This is the finished gum ball machine. I just love Finnabairs rust pastes. 

This is how the little sweet machine look like when I bought it. 

I started with coloring the blue parts with Finnabairs heavy black gesso. 

After I colored it black I covered it with Patina Effect Paste Brass. And the brown rust effect paste  I like how it makes the surface look so dirty and ruff. 

I added some red rust effect paste. 

Last I took the patina effect paste brass and made all ruff edges a bit shimmering. 

Stamperias Alchemy papers are darling. 

I colored some sunbeams direct on the transparent part with the patina effect paste brass. I cut out this sun and swirled some of the sunbeams a little bit in the edges before I glued it. 

I added some pearls from my stash at the sun and around the knob on top and colored them as the rest of the gum ball machine. 

Thanks for watching!
