Bicycle Clock

Welcome friends,

It's time to start a new challenge and this month we want you to incorporate anything that can be connected to "eyes" with your steampunk projects as our theme is 

Goggles, eye charts, dolls eyes, stamped, painted or drawn eyes, monocles....you can create whatever makes you happy - a tag, an art journal page, a card, a mixed media canvas, some piece of altered art or altered art jewelry,....well, and anything else I just couldn't think about right now...lol. 



I needed a special gift for a good old friend and I bought this bicycle clock. 
I have pimp up  it to an eye-catcher fit to their equipment on a shelf in her flat.










 And you don't need to show us the "pure steampunk only" attitude to get eligible for our Top3 or the prize draw - if you are for example new to steampunk or simply just don't want to have your project be too industrial looking, a hint of steampunk will do too. But your entry definitely has to be visibly "steampunk-ish" to make it count. 







                     
   Go to the websites of my very talented teamies 
and let your creative self go wild

Happy crafting

Anything, that reflects the Spring rains and/or Spring flowers

May I introduce Miss Spring :-)


I decided to make a new art journal page to this topic.
Fabulous theme, here it's also said - Alles neu macht der Mai - therefore  I had to try something new. It's a puzzle from various spring flower stamps tulips, daffodil, cherry blossom... and cheerful bright colorful spray paints in Mixed media style.
