As an avid reader of Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Historical Fiction, it's only natural that Steampunk imagery appeals to me. Here's some info for you about Steampunk that I found at online. (http://www.ministryofpeculiaroccurrences.com/what-is-steampunk/ )
"Steampunk is an inspired movement of creativity and imagination. With a backdrop of either Victorian England or America’s Wild West at hand, modern technologies are re-imagined and realized as elaborate works of art, fashion, and mechanics. If Jules Verne or H.G. Wells were writing their science fiction today, it would be considered “steampunk.”"
My challenge to you is to create a Steampunk project using your stamps and your imagination!
I must admit I did go through a little steampunk phase a while ago, so I had some idea of what I wanted (not that I stuck with the plan of course)
A painted background to start with, then some stencilling with metallic PanPastels.
I then stamped
Steampunk Border and
Tree has been stamped onto patterned paper and cut out
Owl With Wings has borrowed a hat from Mad Hatter for a steampunk look, and Wee Owl one from Gentleman Fox. Unfortunately this makes him look more like Al Capone than HG Wells lol.
Jo's Small Butterfly has been stamped and cut out and has been given a few bits and bobs.
I think her sentiment World All Her Own perfectly describes this wierd gangster/steampunk world :-)
This was great fun to make, and I'm now exactly half way through my Stampotique MDF album. Who says I never finish anything - oh that would be me lol.
I hope you can join in, and unleash the punk! Hope you like it, and thanks very much for looking x
Pure genius, Sue! There is so much going on here, but I love it all. You have so cleverly used the own and given him the greatest eyes! Just love that element. I have a lot of these same stamps and marvel that you were able to put this together, when I couldn't even have imagined it! I am impressed and awed, my friend!!
ReplyDeleteAl Capone looks very at home on your fantabulous Steampunk page Sue! Love how you put this together, all the colours and the doodled edge is amazing!
