Things To Alter - SteamPunk - Time Captured

A very good morning to you all and a bit of special news from me.

If you look back to my last post you'll see me "wax lyrical" about a new crafty company on the block

"Things To Alter"

Well, I am a lucky girl, I have been asked to join the DT and am amid the company of many very talented ladies. A trip over to the challenge blog to see their work will prove my word.
My first project was made before I found out what the theme was this month. Maybe I ought to put "psychic" in my C.V. as it just happened to fit. - STEAMPUNK.

I used a number of different items....

just one of the birdcages available

Roman clock face

two of the clock hands

some of the cogs

3 of the Steampunk Dragonflies

Everything was painted first on the inside with Decoart Americana Burnt Orange paint.

The roof pieces were secured together with a bit of wire wrapping after being covered with a green crackled effect paper (got to use those scraps up)

The rest got paints applied to them (Decoart)

also a touch of gold wax on the numbers and some mica dusted onto the dragonflies

The clock fit just right into the birdcage (of course I tested it before all the work painting)

There you have it - 

Time Captured

I'd like to enter my project into the challenge over at
