Compendium of Curiosities Challenge 7 - Painted Industrial - 'Steam Punk Dragonflies'

I was very happy that the Linda and her Curiosity Crew over at Studio L3, had dipped into Compendium of Curiosities 3, and pulled out Tim's Painted industrial Technique. It's a real favourite of mine. The Compendium of Curiosities Challenge this fortnight, is sponsored by the lovely Inspiration Emporium who have donated a whopping $50 gift certificate for one, randomly chosen,  lucky winner. There is also a package of goodies donated by Tim and Mario, for the Crew's favourite entry. Now in fairness to Tim, I can't share the Painted Industrial technique, you'll have to grab yourself a copy of his CC3 book if you fancy having a go. I can, however, show you a couple of close ups of my dragonflies sitting on their lily pad.....
I used  the Jumbo Tattered Florals die to create the lily and Tim's  Layered Dragonfly Die for my dragonflies..... I know...I know....I used it on my altered Burlap Panel for the last challenge, but I just can't stop making dragonflies and they've got to go somewhere ! 
So that's it for now. I wonder what the Crew will tease out of  CC3 for the next challenge....Can't wait ! x

  8. Toni, Toni, Toni! Where to start?? This piece is AHHH-Mazing! Your conglomeration of gears that you've used the painted industrial technique with to create your base is beautiful and beautifully done. Your tattered florals flower and lily pad on top are beautifully done as well. Love the embossing on the flower and again, your painted industrial technique. Now...those dragonflies! TOTALLY AWESOME! The wings are fabulous! I can almost see them fluttering! Thanks so much for sharing your inspirational art with us at CC3C. <3 Candy
