I used craft foam, some steam punk gelatos, paint and crystal effects (for the rivets). I think it looks pretty good for my first attemp! I would have liked to add some elements to it like gears or goggles but I left it too late... the day before was probably not such a good idea. If it survives the night, I can always add to it later. I think this ones a keeper. ;-)
This isn't exactly 'art' but it is creative. My 13 year old daughter is going trick or treating (her last year) as a broken steam punk doll. She has an outfit but it needed a little something... I decided to make her a mini top hat. I found someone on YouTube and tried to replicate what he did. I didn't have a pattern so it's a bit bigger than his but it'll do.

My day-to-day hand writing is not the best, so a while back I learned how to do this kind of 'creative writing' from a lady online named Lori Vleigen. I love her artwork and she does a lot of journaling in this 'walls' book. It's page after page of someones photographs of different 'walls'. Turns out, its a cool way to journal. This idea is from one of her pages and I decided to try it for myself. You can get the journal on amazon.ca.
While working on this, I find it amazing how much it pops once you start to add the highlights and shadows. So, when you're doing something like this, don't leave out those finishing touches. :D OOOH, twice in one week. ;-) I've actually been able to get to my craft room a few times this week and finish a journal page. Just playing with the Gelatos again (LOVE THEM) and I bought a few more Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens to play with. Add in some stencilling and stamping, to create a fun journal page. I love the fall colours, too. A 'change' from my usual purples and blues. LOL
Been trying to get out of a 'funk' and making a decision to be happier. It is a choice and I have to make it. |
