PanArt - Altered Clock!

Hello!

Today I'm going to be altering a alarm clock base. I started by gluing down some metal embellishments I just looked around my stash for some fun stuff -- tiny bottles, zipper pulls, a fan from an old computer part -- you name it and it's fair game. Glossy Accents is really tough and perfect for this. Once I had them glued down I set the base aside and started working on the background. 

For the background I fussy cut an image from 7 Dots Studio Fortune Teller "Soul" and the 7 Dots Studio Fortune Teller Word Stickers  and used matte medium to glue it to the background. I love all of the imagery in the Fortune Teller collection so much! 

I also embellished the background with a little bit of Art Alchemy Metallique Steampunk Copper, Art Alchemy Metallique light patina and some rust mica powder. 

To finish up the clock base, I also added layers of Art Alchemy Metallique Emerald Green and more of the Steampunk Copper. 

I just love my clock base! I kept the back removable so I could change out the treasures that I place within. This was such a fun project and makes for such an interesting decorative piece in my home. I hope you love the project and find inspiration to start your own!

Mixed Media Place supplies:

Gearing up!

Currently I'm working on getting things ready for another art adventure next month!
I'll announce it soon, but in the meantime here's a little bit of what I've been working on as of lately.

This morning, coffee in hand, I finished this one:

I tore apart an old watch, removed the inner "guts" of the piece and replaced it with miscellaneous watch pieces, parts and bling. Then I removed the sides, and added my own steampunky chains. It's a very metal-y piece with gold, silver, copper and bronze. 

After that, added some fun little charms to go along with it. 

This is a really, really fun piece and I had a lot of fun making it. But now, what should I name it?

Any ideas?

As a part of another art adventure yesterday, I completed a couple of inky pieces. A button tree and a mixed media flower. 

And just in case you need reminding:

Signing off for the day.

Cheers,
Pan

On the table...

I've been busy creating today!

It's been awhile since I've made any new jewelry pieces, and since I'm gearing up for something next month, I figured now is a great time.

Introducing --- Found Objects & Toasted Lizard!:

"Found Objects" is an adjustable steampunk'd charm bracelet.

And....

Toasted Lizard is a steampunk'd locket style pendant on chain. The locket part opens up, and you could put a nice photo inside if you wish.

I was sifting through a very old (read: brown, crumbly pages and old book smell) book of children's poems. While sifting, the two works "toasted lizard" jumped off of the pages and it just seemed right. That's why it all happened! This one is an old, revamped pendant that I had lying around. I used a bit of black Golden High Flow paint to help bring a focal point to the steampunk pieces and parts.

Until next time.

Cheers,
