Here is my take on the theme.... now blogger has finally allowed me access to my blog....
I used TH embossing folders/dies....brown and orange paint to do a faux rust look..... TH distress embossing powders mixed with a bit of gold and copper powders.... brown ink... an image from DE-STEMPELWINKEL.....some chain and a small watch charm.....oh and some diddy screw head brads...
Heres a close up as its hard to see the texture of the faux rust..... but it does look pretty good in real life.... honest! I hope you'll join us.... i really do like all this industrial/steampunk/grungy stuff....
I'll enter the following challenges....
