This months theme over at the Happy Daze monthly challenge is right up my street - steampunkery!!
I decided to make a small canvas (5" x 7"). Covered the background with Stewart Gill translucent chocolate brown. Used matte medium to glue down the clock face and the tape measure papers. I used a Tando cog mask with texture paste to create the depth of the cogs bottom right. Painted them with a mixture of acrylic metallic dabbers, luminere and Stewart Gill paints.
I added a couple of T!m cogs, a charm which started out gold, so got some distressed treatment and a key!!

Everything was assembled using glossy accents.
Don't forget to be eligible for the £15 voucher to spend in the shop, you have to use at least one product that Moira sells, which isn't difficult!!!

All that steam is powered by coal - this really makes me think of all the soot that was about in real and steampunk Victorian London.
