Coffee Pot Lady


It is time for another Fantastic anything goes challenge at Bleeding Arts this month. 
This month's fabulous prize sponsor is Creative Embellishments!


The winner will also be invited back as a guest designer! Be sure to check out our fab sponsors page for more info!

DON'T FORGET: Starting 1 September, we're launching a sister blog - Steampunk Challenge Blog!





You can check out the blog now and follow us beforehand to participate! We'll be doing cool mood boards to challenge your creativity as well as Anything Goes mixed in! If you love the Steam ° Grunge ° Industrial style, you're going to love it! 

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.
