Steam Punk Altered Box

This is my project for May's Altered Eclectics, an Altered Art/Mixed Media Challenge Blog. 

This is the box I started with.

I fell in love along time ago with the stamp art of Chris Stern of CS Designs and have this digital stamp in my collection for many years.  This round box seemed to be the perfect place to use it. 

I coloured the image with Copics and pencil crayons. I used several metal findings as assect on the top of the box.  I used acrylic paint to paint the edge of the box and and lid.  I also used a celestial design stencil on the side of the box. To complete the altered box I added a couple of gears and a clock with wings.

Altered Fairy Clock

It is the first of March and time for another great mixed media/altered art challenge at Altered Eclectics. The theme as always is anything goes. 

This month  I decided to alter a clock.  

This is what I started with.

Once I gutted the small electric clock from my stash, I gathered my materials for my fairy house.  I used many die cuts from different companies, paper from Graphic 45, Lavinia fairy house digi stamp, Copics, flowers, acrylic paint, gems. wink of Stella, posca pen, and a white gel pen.  I layered my many images to create the house and gardens.

Altered Guess Gift Box

It is time for the first challenge of 2019 at Altered Eclectics and I have decided to alter a Guess gift box to make a box to store my postage stamps.

This is what I started with.  

This is another couple of views of the altered box

To decorate my box I added postage stamps, beads, ribbon, travel rubber stamps,  inks, rubber stamp letters, acrylic paint and a metal butterfly.
