My Steampunk Attempt

After seeing the great Steampunk art by Ramona Szczerba in May/Junes Somerset Studio, I was really curious to see if I could come up with something.
I really couldn't think of anything original, so follwed the artists lead and this is what I created.
I don't think I fully understand the concept of Steampunk, but, would love to try some more.

Pendant

This is a pendant I made for a swap.

I got the idea from my dear friend Elizabeth.

It is made in the style of Tim Holtz(LOVE the man!).

I used a rusty key, an old washer & some 'things' from a computer motherboard.

Let me know what you think.

A LITTLE BIT OF WHIMSY.

Had some time on my hands today, so found a canvas & painted & collaged this creation.

I have called it "WHIMSY".

I used some Golden paints that I have, can't wait to buy some more, they are so easy to use & I just love the colours.

The image is from a paper by Lynne Perella.

Coloured & attached some gauze, a little bird & some Collections letters.

I am really pleased with it, though, as my DH says"you have a warped sense of humour"!
Let me know what you think.

Well slap me with a wet fish!

Had a lovely day today with Bevlea who came over for lunch... we were talking about the Creative Soul Retreat..and I mentioned I didnt know what Stephanie did.. .Bevlea said 'metal' so I grabbed the latest Somerset Studio to show her something I liked and mentioned that I was off to buy a soldering iron to do....

Well, slap me with the wet fish - because the article I liked was an item MADE BY STEPHANIE LEE LOL... I hadnt noticed the name until then... now I cant wait to do the class LOL (but will be making the bird cage before then, can't wait till March vbg
