Well it is that time again for a new challenge over at ''The Mirror Crack'd'' and the theme this month is to put together a Canvas. I decided to go Steampunk - one of my fave styles due to dark colours lol.
Here is the list of the items used
Canvas
gesso
wooden cogs
chipboard dressform
charms
lots of rusty wire coiled by me
glass bottle with watch parts in it
inka gold
wooden bird, bodyform, numbers, clock hands
lots of chain round the cogs
screw
clock mask and modelling paste
paint and sprays
lace, diamante effect trim for texture
and I ripped the arms from a barbie doll
For the wings I used wire, mod podge and inks

ReplyDeletebut thank you for sharing your canvas with us at SanDee&amelie's Steampunk Challenges. Just curious about which line of our grid you used - could you, please, add that information (alongside the challenge blog links), so we can count your wonderful steampunk project in with our prize draws and top votes?
Hugs,

lol I know what I did now - I started entering challenges and walked away without publishing - got stuck in my craftroom - all published now - sorry and thank you x
DeleteWell....yes... I assumed that that was what had happened, Elaine! Blame it on the heat, loads of mojo and your distractive craftroom...giggle...I do stuff like that too at times. We're way too busy and when inspiration comes by we have to run and capture the moment, right? ;)
DeleteHugs,
