Hello everyone,
You ever had on of those days when you want to, but don't know what you want to do, so just start doing something and then having a blast and nearly not know when to stop...me too...on this day.
I made a round booklet..and Steampunked it with stickers.
Using my round die I cut some panels in white card stock.
then again in patterned papers, blue again.
Then sorted through my small Steampunk stickers
and numbers and clocks..
Cut brown and gray circles in half for pockets..
Then I started to decorate with the stickers
buttons and layered up cogs, wooden and brass..
Tiny envelopes that gave me a blister!!
Film strips and cut up bingo cards
home made numbers
Tiny little buttons..
scrabble letters
Keys
more ephemera
And back to the beginning..
What a fun and busy day it turned into, so went off a made roast chicken for dinner to celebrate, I'm always ready to celebrate..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
See you again soon..
luv CHRISSYxx
fantastic and great steambook Chrissy.......gr karin

What a wonderful curator of your steampunk goodies you are. You have such an eye for mixing and combining all the parts. An amazing project for sure!
ReplyDeleteYou are the queen of collaging, I love the circle format and the way you added everything together is terrific! Neat touch with the added buttons too, FABULOUS album!
ReplyDeleteOmygosh that's tiny booklet, I'm glad those were your eyes and not mine, lol. But the result is magnificent, you've steamed up the punkers indeed! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe round format works so well for this steampunk theme, and you’ve filled each panel with such an engaging mix of textures and tiny details. The layered cogs, clocks, pockets, and little envelopes create that perfect sense of discovery as you turn each page. The blue and brown palette keeps everything cohesive while still letting all the ephemera shine. It looks like one of those projects where the ideas just keep flowing, and the result is wonderfully rich and full of character.
ReplyDeleteAmazing again! You are the Queen of book making for sure. The way you can even position your little bits and pieces just looks so professional!! I just love this!
ReplyDeleteAnother stunner!!! Love the steampunk imagery and the round format.
