I’ve never tried my hand at the art form called Steampunk but while Lynn was here on Sunday she told us about a contest going on right now at Oxford Impressions using Steampunk images so I thought I would give it a try. Here is the result! 
The way I see it (and I’m definately not an expert) is that steampunk art is a combination of images from the industrial revolution, especially images of steam engines, other images from that era and pieces of hardware.
Hardware is kind of where I had a problem since I don’t have that kind of stuff around. So I went for a hunt around my house. First of all, I had the little bright gold colored frame (from Joanns) so I sponged it with some Stazon ink. Then I went on a hunt through my tool box. I found a nut and a washer and sponged them with Stazon as well. I saw a tiny black rubberband on my craft desk so I added it since it looks kinda’ link a rubber washer. Then I took apart an old watch and added the crystal on top of the “S” on steam engines.
All images are from Oxford Impressions except the black top hat (Graphics Fairy freebie) and the sentiment which is computer generated.
That’s it. My little doggie ran of this morning and while chasing her down, I fell down. I’m okay but I think I might have bruised a rib or something. It’s really quite sore when I move around. So, I’m just sitting here. I get up every once in awhile and color a bit on the stuff that I’m working on for Digital Two for Tuesday. I can’t wait for you all to see this great project!
Have a great evening!
Blessings,
Christine
