The Gift of Time

This is the final week of the steampunk-inspired challenges on Gingersnap Creations.  This week was a color theme, "Leather, Iron & Brass" and this wall hanging is my contribution.  I have had a lot of fun doing these and it's been a real growing experience.  Each of the challenges will remain open for awhile so hop on over and join in the fun.

Assemblage Art: Train

All aboard for another week of steampunk-inspired assemblage art for the Gingersnap Creations challenge.  The challenge this week was "Planes & Trains" and I had a lot of fun making this train from all of my swap meet junk.  This abandoned engine has become a home for some cute little birdies.

If you feel inspired to try some steampunk-style art, I encourage you to check out the Gingersnap Creations blog and take a go at some of their challenges for this month.

Assemblage Art: Time Heals All Wounds

I have been waiting for weeks to be able to show you my newest steampunk creation.  The Gingersnap Creations blog challenge for this week was to use gears, cogs, and watch bits so I created this assemblage, which was a lot of fun!  I may have found a new art addiction  =)   Stay tuned because I have another assemblage to show you next week...

The Gingersnap Creations challenges are fun and anyone can play along so come and join in the fun!

On the Road

The Gingersnap Creations blog challenges for July are underway!  I am honored to be a visiting artist for this month... and now I can show you my first contribution - a mixed media art card for this week's theme "On the Road."  The challenges are fun and anyone can play along so come and join in the fun!

I'm a Gingersnap Creations Visiting Artist for July

I am very flattered and excited to be asked to be a visiting artist on the Gingersnap Creations blog this month.  I'm not sure why they picked me but maybe it's because the overreaching theme this month is machines with a focus on the steampunk style and I did get a lot of positive feedback on my steampunk valentines awhile back.  Whatever the reason, I am really very honored to have been asked!  So now you'll all get to see what I've been doing with all that swap meet junk I've been collecting  =)

The challenges will be announced weekly on Wednesdays so be sure to check back each week to see my newest creation.  And don't be afraid to jump in and join the fun!
