Creative Artiste - Anything Goes Mixed Media Challenge

We have another great challenge happening over at Creative Artiste, as always the Challenge is anything goes mixed media. 

The term “mixed media art” is a broad definition that covers many forms of arts and crafts, including collage, assemblage, altered objects, handmade greeting cards, artist trading cards (ATCs) tags and art journaling  as long as you use different mediums.

The “mixed media” used includes paint, paper, pastes, sprays, powders, textural elements, clay, resins, fabrics, found objects, photos, metal, inks, pencils, markers and pastels to name just a few.

This is my project for October - Steampunk man, an altered metal trivet plate.

 This is the metal trivet plate I found at a the thirft store that was the inspiration for my altered picture.

I have been trying to use my stash of art supplies in my projects lately so when I added my rust effects to the metal I used a couple of different brands of paints.

After this pic was taken I added more copper and texture to the frame. 

To create the scene I used a rubber stamp called Steampunkman by Sheene Douglas.  I used wooden gears, clocks etc from my stash and some gear die cuts to create the pattern. I also add so metal findings such as a keys and small clock. The wording was from some designer paper by Stamperia. 

I added a sheet of dark gray paper behind the picture so that the pieces stood out more.
