These were fun and easy.I had the little cardboard squares sitting on my art table for months now and a week or so ago I had an "Ah!" moment and Steampunk Ornaments were born.
I painted them with beige acrylic and then used Mary Beth Shaw's gear stencil in red iron oxide. Metal and wooden gears (Tim Holtz and Small Studios) were adhered with matte medium. Then two squares were attached back-to-back with heavy gel medium with a length of orange twine between for a hanger.
A fun project for a holiday afternoon!
Ooo, those are awesome!
ReplyDeleteBronwyn - Thanks, I was quite pleased with the way they came out.
