In a sort of
Runic rhyme
To the
tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the cogs,
cogs, cogs
OK, so that’s
not quite how Edgar Allan Poe’s verse goes but this is a Simply Steampunk Challenges' project and features lots of cogs but no bells.
It’s challenge time over Simply Steampunk Challenges and this month’s theme is clocks / timepieces. So of course I needed to make an actual
clock, my lounge room walls needed some Steampunking and how better than with
this awesome image from Simply B Stamps, Rio Portrait, by artist Abigail
Larson.
Head on over to Simply Steampunk Challenges and check out all the details – you have until 4 July to get your Steampunk on, don’t let time get away from you!
I’m also
entering this into the Crazy Amigo Challenge's Distress inks or stains or pens
or embossing powder challenge (I’ve got distress stain and embossing powder
covered), Through the Craftroom Door's Anything goes challenge, Left of Center's LOC theme (Steampunk) challenge, and Crafting When We Can's Punches and/or die cuts challenge (loads of spider web die cuts used).
