Hi everyone, I didn't make as many pages as I would have liked for Art Journal Journey in September, but would like to thank Elle for her great hosting and fun theme.
Now, we have a brand new theme and it's my good friend Neet who is hosting at AJJ for October with another brilliant theme 'In Gear' .
I confess to having a few doubts about how to tackle this as I'm not a great Steampunk fan, but I do have quite a few stamps featuring gears so I think I'll be OK!!!
I used an Indigoblu stamp set alongside some random numbers. I added some of my lovely PET tape flowers and drew in some white flowers among the gears. The quote is from an Alison Bomber Paper Artsy set and I added a few paint spatters to finish the page.I hope you will read the rules here and come along and join us for Neet's theme this month.
Thanks for looking, Chris
Oh Chris, I do hope this does not prove a difficult theme for you to do. You certainly nailed it here with this lovely journal page.
ReplyDeleteI love those white flowers, I need to know more about them, ie what is PET tape? They are gorgeous and look perfect against the kraft page mingling amongst the gears.
Love the pocket watch!
Thanks for joining in with my theme at AJJ.
Hugs, Neet xx
I absolutely ADORE your gears. This is a wonderful way to begin the month at AJJ using Neet's new theme.
ReplyDeleteLove this page! It is so well balanced and almost serene while having such an industrial-like theme... Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteFabulous first page today, love all of your gears, nicle balanced by the white flowers. Hugs, Valerie!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris, love your page today, the industrial gears with the delicate flowers are lovely together. I have some of those PET flowers too, they are great aren't they.
ReplyDeleteI love how you tied together the flowers (delicate nature) with the man made gears. Together those 2 result in a great page. And I hope you had a super trip Chris. Is it good to be home or do you wish you were still in France? I'm looking forward to seeing your photos. Happy October. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI think your page screams steampunk. Love the watch gears and clocks. Well done
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous page Chris! I need to google those PET flowers!
ReplyDeleteHappy October,

ReplyDeleteHappy October to you and yours ๐งก๐
This is pretty!
ReplyDeleteI always think of steampunk gears as "heavy". I love the daintiness of your design. Helene
