"Geared up in Love" for Leslie Rayhe's Very Steampunk Valentine Bloghop


Welcome to Leslie Rayhe's Very Steampunk Valentine Bloghop. This is where Love and Steampunk have craftily collided. I have to admit I have become enamored with Steampunk and have been working on many varied projects in this Genre {it's pretty easy since I have a lot of old rusty junk}.


The center heart is a scrolled medallion I cast in Amazing Mold Putty then melted UTEE and colored with green alcohol ink to get an Absinthe color and feeling. The gears are gold hologram paper die cut with TH Sizzix Die that are also hit with some alcohol ink and maroon cats eye chalk ink. The centers are TH metal gears and the gems brad centers are Imaginisce. The background is a piece of distressed metal tape background embossed with gears embossing folder layered with a gesso/acrylic primer then colored with various alcohol inks. The center gears are layered on some beaded and embroidered trim and finished off with metal corners. LOVE IT!!!
