Hi All
Firstly a warm welcome to Patricia, Sandra and Wax Beach Artist who have all joined me this week. I am pleased that you have seen things you like on my blog and that you can join me on my creative journey.
This is my piece for the Gingersnap Creations Spicy Supply Challenge - gears, cogs and watch parts. It is machines month, focusing on steampunk and this challenge is to bring the mechanics of machines to the forefront. Other inspiration was drawn from Hels Sunday Stamper - make your own flower, Try It On - Steampunk, Stampotique - Flower power and Just For Fun - metal.
The base for this piece is a coaster made of black plastic with a soft black velvety backing to it. The head is from Hampton Art and is the same lady as can be found on the Graphic 45 Steampunk papers. I stamped her on some card which had been swooshed with distress stains and then used DIs over the top of that.
Hope your day is good and thank you to all you lovely friends who visit and to those especially who leave me the most encouraging comments - I really appreciate them all.
luv and hugs {brend

Wonderful flower and beautiful piece! Thanks for joining us at Stampotique Designer's Challenge # 34.
This is amazing! Love the metal flower with the watch parts in the middle. I love this image, Artistic Stamper do it too - I think she might be a Gibson Girl - I think he was married to one of the Astor beauties and she and her sister modelled for him. Love the cogs in her hair. Perfect.
