It’s a new month and time for a new Mixed Media Art Parts! For those of you who have subscribed to this monthly packet of fun, don’t worry, yours is on its way to you!
The theme this month is INDUSTRIAL/STEAMPUNK. I have been excited about this pack and gathering goodies for quite awhile. I have taken photos of interesting manholes and industrial patterns and printed them off for you. I have lots of vintage illustrations of engines, electronics, equipment, and building plans, and pages from a photo essay of NYC after 9/11.
I used some of these fun papers from my pack to make the skyscrapers on this mosaic art journal page.
I found a super cool napkin that peeled into layers makes a wonderful decoupage accent.
I have added vintage computer keyboard keys and some other fun dimensional hardware: a washer, a V ring, and a zippper.
Here are some ideas of what others have done with some of the dimensional treasures:
How cute is this washer jewelry by scarletrevolution on etsy ?
And if you want to make your own, here are instructions from goinovertheedge.
And so many steampunk possibilities for radio tubes! Like this cute necklace by Momento Inspiracao
Or, these adorable robots by Fobots !
And I can’t leave out the vintage computer keys that can be turned into cute as can be push pins or magnets like these posted on postris.
So grab February’s Art Parts Pack and show me what you come up with!
