A Steampunk Collage

Image
By
Hi everyone! Becky here today to share a Steampunk Collage I did recently in a class...
I first created a background by covering a 12x16 masonite board with gel medium & a graphic piece of tissue paper to get some texture. I then went in with a few colors of acrylic paint until I achieved the color balance I wanted. I used some stencils & some acrylic inks here & there. After it was all dry, I began adding the paper elements. All the gears & clock images in the corner are from various Steampunk sheets {HERE}. The larger image was one I found online ages ago & manipulated myself. I REALLY wish I'd had on hand the awesome chipboard gears & stamps from the AP shop! Check them out HERE!! I'm not sure it's 100% complete, but I wanted to share it with you today anyway!
 
Thanks for stopping by!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
