This is awesome Mike! I love how it turned out! Thanks for asking me to take part in another collaboration. As always I have had a great time! Thank You xxx Hugs Linda xxx
I particularly like your projects with gears and various metal whatnots with that rusty patina. i like how all the elements came together. This has got me looking at wrenches in a new way. Now, what can I do with screwdrivers lol.
This looks fabulous. I like the way it goes from Blah (said with love-all black) to WOW! just with the addition of another colour or two. The composition and found objects are great, too. Now I'm off to watch Linda's video. Thanks for sharing x
Catching up with some of your older videos this week Mike and I have to say this piece is incredible and very inspiring. I'm attending a workshop where we will be making a mixed media piece and this has given me plenty of ideas to kickstart my grey cells in to thinking about what sort of things I might like to attach to my piece. Creative Blessings.
I love this so much Mike! You really are the king of detail and putting just the right amount of shading, accents etc. on your work! I watched Linda's as well and I liked the theme of hers very much. Fun collaboration - thank you for sharing it with us!!
Hi Mike, I really love what you have done here, love love love it. Can you please do something like this that will suit an beneath the sea theme. I am painting dolphins in water colour for my daughters birthday and would to be able to put it into an awesome frame like what you do. Thanks for your generosity in sharing your skills. 👍👍👍to you Kind regards. Oh and I have subscribed 😊
Just watched yours and Linda's. Loved them both. It was interesting to see that you chose the FELLA tools and Linda chose the Lady tools. But as artists, there was no gender. Except for the challenge which was the choice of tools, your techniques were certainly different. I took a break from watching the videos, and my mind took off thinking of all the different professions and the tools that they use. Doctors, dentists, plumbers and on and on. You could wind up having a wall full of frames!! If that is not isnspration, I don't know what is. Have a happy upcoming year in 2018 and look forward to seeing more of your videos
I love SteamPunk designs and just found your TH-cam channel. You have a New subscriber & Fan. I truly enjoy watching you create. I hope to learn and apply towards my projectd. TTFN
Like this a lot except the green highlights, would prefer the blue. Like the rust paint. Just discovered you today and subscribed. Will have to watch your other videos and check out Linda's. Thanks for sharing!👍❤😁
Hi Mike, I like it so much that I will try to make something similar as my first ever mix media project. I plan to use a scissors and I'd like to ask you if the gel medium is strong enough to hold into place the metallic pieces that have certain ammount of weight or if you reccomend me to use something else instead. Thank you for sharing this project and inspire me. Big hug! Madalina
Mike, great project! Hey, I stumbled on a place you might want to visit for some inspiration that you might like for your new helmet project. The Royal Amoury Museum in Your town, Leeds. They showed some wonderful 16th century jousting helmets and other metal pieces, that I thought you'd love. Saw it on the Travel Channel here in the US. Cheers!
Yay, steampunky. Great project Mike. I followed everything you did but the close up shots show a dusty-gritty-type surface. Is that effect achieved purely with the paint combinations you have used and the way you applied them? xx
This is awesome Mike! I love how it turned out! Thanks for asking me to take part in another collaboration. As always I have had a great time! Thank You xxx

Absolutely brilliant I love the effect that dry-brushing gives. Thank you for sharing this video. Hugs 🤗 and take care of you and yours.
Awesome piece of art Mike.
Great idea for all those bits and pieces. I think you are having entirely too much fun! Thanks for sharing.
Oh you have no idea......lol
love both of your piece!! ~ Dana
Gorgeous
Fabulous piece!
fab piece might have to go and have a hunt in hubby's toolbox lol tfs big hugs Caroline xxx
Don't let him catch you! Thrift stores and yard sales are great for these kind of bits! XO
That is so awesome.
Streampunkalishous! Love the dried brush effect. I do like a man in a bow tie.
I thought I'd bring it out one of the ties again..lol
Awesome, love it!
I really enjoy your artwork, thank you for sharing. I like your channel.
Two of my favorite things: tools and art....Splendid!
Love the colors and how it all works to magically make the piece look old and rusty!
So cool 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This turned out really awesome Mike. tfs
Mike, you've done it again, and gotten me to think "outside my box." Thanks for this great project!
Very cool piece, Mike. Love the rust paint! TFS
Yes, love the steampunk look. Awesome work!!!!

I LOVE it! The finishing touches of the green paint look amazing.
stunning, Mike. it really 'popped' when you began the dry brushing. I feel like raiding the old tool box now😊.
This is so good I have an urge to dust it off and clean it. You got that dirty rusty effect perfectly.
Fabulous! I really enjoy your mixed media pieces.
love your work Mike, thank-you for your videos xx
You're welcome XO

I love this. Apparently you can also dust cinnamon with mod podge if you want to get a real dusty build up in the corners. Fab!

this is gorgeous😊
AWESOME!!
Perfeito 👏👏👏👏
Yes! Love it! Great job!
Sooo Beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Do you have any other pic frame crafts?
Great Piece...
Very nice Mike. I don't know all the various mediums and was wondering why you used black gesso instead of paint.
The gesso gives the rusty paint more of a tooth to grab on to. Normal acrylic may not have covered quite so well on the poly resin frame. XO

Judy awesome and beautiful

That's the Rusty paint Dorothy. It has the grainy texture in it. XO
It's brilliant stuff Mike. I have to get me some of that paint. xx
Forgot to ask, Mike, what is the make of the rusty texture paint please? xx
Awesome
Are you sure that you found those spanners at the bottom of a drawer, and not in Ian's workshop? :-) Beautiful project, Mike.
BlaizC lol
❤️❤️❤️
I love your Neglected Tools of the Trade piece. Unfotunately, Linda's video is 'not available' for me to watch.
СУПЕР!!!!!
