2015 Colour Arte Design Team Submission

Hello

Happy 4th of July

Today's post is my submission for

Colour Arte Design Team Call

I couldn't help but pick up this 15 1/2 inch beauty

Steampunk is a style that I love so much so I pulled out

all the stops!

 

I sat down in front of the T,V, cranking away and watching the first season of

Orange is the New Black. I wanted to see what the fuss was about.  I can say that it has caught my attention. lol

I used dies from Cherry Lynn, Tim Holtz, Memory Box and Inspire by Spellbinder

I like to try to map out my layout prior to gluing down anything

I can say I merely a guide it changes as it goes

Now time to start adding texture

 I use a mixture of modge podge and clear gesso

I used laces, painters taps and Tim Holtz Music Sheet Tissue Paper

Here is dressform painted with the white gesso 

 

 and lightly brused with black gesso to give it that

grunged aged look 

Here is is the best part using all my beautiful Colour Arte Silks Acrylic

I used Ginger Peach, Teal Zircon, Sunflower, Sapphire on Ice, Sky Blue, Spicy Tomato 

 I love the way all the color blend in so smoothly 

 

 

I also added stickles to all the words

.A Woman's Worth

A woman's beauty is not only

In the glow of her skin

But the depth of her eyes

And the warmth of her heart

A woman's strength is not only

In the bow of her back

But the magnitude of her tears

And the softness of her words

A woman's wisdom is not only

In the value of her words

But the knowledge of when to hold them

And the journey she takes to learn them

A woman's courage is not only

In her determination to fight

But her willingness to walk away

And confidence to say no

A woman's grace is not only

In the way she dances through her day

But in the love notes she leaves

And the wonderful meals she prepares

A woman's love is not only

In the kisses she gives

But in the sacrifices she makes

And the moments given to you alone

A woman's worth is not only

In the things she does

But who she truly is

And who she helps you become

~ Mary Costanza -A Woman's Heart And Soul

STEAMPUNK - [steem-puhngk] - Steampunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction, usually set in an anachronistic Victorian or quasi-Victorian alternate history setting. It could be described by the slogan "What the past would look like if the future had happened sooner." It includes fiction with science fiction, fantasy or horror themes. 

Medieval Steampunk: Speculative fiction set during the Middle Ages. 

Victorian Steampunk: A modern Science Fiction work (post-1930s) that is set in the early parts of the industrial revolution. 

Western Steampunk: Science fiction set in the American Old West. 

Industrial/Modern Steampunk: Science fiction taking place in the late industrial age, early modern age; i.e. World War 1, World War 2

steampunk is a growing trend that has taken a form of its own through fashion and in the crafting world.  Either you love it or you don't. Eclectic in it's own right and uniquely beautiful.  I have evolved in mycrafting abilities and now greatly inspired by the steampunk era.

Our theme was
Red-White-Blue Summer


What other way to celebrate but to
recognize Steampunk with American Pride

I designed a card
depicting relaxation at the beach
I must admit that I have not taken the children to beach yet
I had two additional children 2 years apart
so hence my DH working 2nd shift
it made it difficult for me to do it alone

Now that the youngest one will be 2 in a few weeks
I've made it my duty to take them to
CHICAGO
to wiggle their toes
in the sands of Oak Street Beach
near the Magnificent Mile

They deserve to enjoy earth in it's natural form
acknowledge natural life around them
Bontanical Gardens
Brookfield/Linconl Park Zoo
just sitting the park closing their eyes and
listen to the waves crash
birds chirp
animal sounds
(dont forget the traffic sounds lol)

Many things that I didn't appreciate

Summer Fun
is the place to be

 RELAX AND ENJOY
