Coffee Pot Lady

It is time for another Fantastic anything goes challenge at Bleeding Arts this month. 

I decided to alter an old fashion peculator coffee pot for my project that was in our camping box. 

This is what I started with.

I had my husband help me remove the handle from the pot and I saved the inside parts for another project.

For my colour I was inspired by this variegated brightly colour wool that I have in my stash. 

I found this child's hat at a thrift store, painted it with Gesso, then added different colours of waxes and added a metal flower, and metal trim that I also coloured with waxes.

For my coffee pot I added coke bottle eyes, buttons for the eye balls which I painted,  and part of a spoon for each of the ears. 

I added some old funky glasses which I added some small flowers to. 

This was a fun project for me and a little bit crazy. 

Hope you will join us this month at Bleeding Arts. Create your anything goes/mixed media project and enter it here. 

Have a creative week.

Gone Fishing

Time for another great  Anything Goes challenge at Through the Craft Room Door.  

I have chosen to do a fishing scene for this challenge.  I have someone special I would like to give this card to for their birthday. I used a digital image by Power Poppy for the card, the image is called Fly Guy.

I coloured the image with copics, added a fly rubber stamp and a die cut net to complete the card.  I hope my friend will enjoy the card.

Make Your Own Background Challenge

Time for another challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and the theme this week is make your own background.

To create my background I blended several shades of Distress Oxides on watercolour paper and then sprayed water on the paper.   

The flowers were stamped with VersaMark and embossed with gold embossing power.  The flowers were coloured Mungyo Water Colors.  To complete the card I added a happy birthday die cut.

Steampunk Blog Hop

  I am excited we are having a Steampunk Blog Hop and this is my altered steampunk mannequin I made for this event.  Hope you love steampunk art as much as I do. 

 A friend gave me this mannequin bodice that I added lace to, then painted with gesso and purple and blue fabric spray paints to give the dress colour.

Along with the paints, crackle mix, acrylic paints etc I used metal pieces from my stash.  The belt is a metal belt from a Thrift Store, the buckle is part of a drawer pulley system, the chain around her neck was off of the belt, the necklace piece was part of a drawer system also. 

The top of the straps on the dress were kitchen cupboard door hinges and the straps and buttons were made form some  gears that I added a rust affect on them.  

Some closer looks

The necklace is made from  door lock mechanism and part of a metal belt from a thrift store.

The metal belt and key are from a local thrift store that I used a rust techniquic on them. The center of a belt is part of a mechanics for a drawer.

The straps of the dress are made with gears and a couple of door hinges.
