Life on Kepler 452b: By Zuzu

So I got some of those fantastic new Artist trading Block style cubes from the shop and have been itching to use them. As I had a nice selection and not all the same, I decided to do a stack.
I have also been watching the discoveries of Kepler and this wonderful new planet Kepler 452b that is being dubbed "Earth 2.0".
My stack shows what life on Kepler 452b looks like. Its covered in peaceful, gentle and loving, star gazing hares (If only).

I used Decoart crackle paste on the large cube (here is a close up as its hard to tell from my "rainy day photos".)

I poked some holes in the roof of it and jabbed the Craft Part stars into them. secured with some wood glue.

The grass is another book page (painted with translucent white media fluid.) folded in an accordion/concertina style fan and snipped along the edges.

The middle cube was covered in book pages. I found the pages to be a bit too aged and yellow for the look I wanted so I used DecoArt media fluid translucent white on them. it whitens the paper but lets the text shine through. I could have used a very watered down white but that would have weakened the integrity of the paper and could well have resulted in tears and worn bits.
And lastly, the top cube was painted with crackle paint and has a wee star inside and a crown to reflect the imagery of the crowns the hares are wearing, tops the stack off nicely.

Thanks for stopping by.
