Today I am up early - even before the postman - as a friend of mine is coming to breakfast, and then we want to go to IKEA and have a look round. I
Here is a LO I made yesterday, which I am entering into the *Steampunkerie* Challenge over at Three Muses blog.
The middle part has been made with a virtual collage, which I then stamped with different steampunky images in archival black. The small images round about have been taken from a German Ladies magazine from 1899. I have tried to show the fashions and some of the latest technical things of the time. I have mounted them as they are to try to give the feel of movement, then this was an age when inventions and discoveries were moving really fast, taking people into a technical future. The paper used is from my stash, don't know the manufacturer anymore, and the stamps used are from Tim Holtz, Paper Artsy and Stamper Magazine. The digital images were from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff and Dezinaworld.
So, time to get breakfast ready!
Have a great day, take care, and thanks for looking!
Love the steampunk LO Valerie.

ReplyDeleteFabulous steampunkerie piece, Valerie!

ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, it sounds like you'll have a fun weekend playing with all your things from Ikea, especially the brown paper and string...it made me smile that this is the best part of the store for you. Love the LO, Steampunk is something I'd be totally lost with but I can appreciate it all the more when someone else does it. Your gifts from England are fab, lots of nice things there, and your Less Is More cards are so good, I think the pink one with the little girl is just so pretty. Enjoy your weekend, it'll be great to see what you make. CoB
