I have been wanting to ....
Post about Time Traveler

Remember this post Steampunk Ladies Free Printable ?... and that little teaser picture of the project I made with it? I have so been wanting to post about my project but I had submitted it to a magazine. So I had to wait until I found out if it would be published. Well the preview of Haute Handbags for Autumn has been posted and my little clutch is in the preview! .... I am published!!!

I thought it was perfect timing that this weeks theme at Mixed Media Monday is "I have been wanting to..."
 

The Artistic Souls of Eagle Idaho submitted several little bags that we altered... I called my little Steampunk bag "Time Traveler" My hubby and I glued old gears and bent wire to a matt board then I used my friends spellbinder to emboss the metal. Then I attached it to the little wooden purse and antiqued it.

 
 
I printed the fabric for the lining and added the little photo of the Steampunk ladies.
 
 
 
The hinge was hand made using links from an antique necklace.

    How exciting for you! Congratulations!! It is a well deserved I must say. I have never seen anything like it. You did an awesome job. You are obviously a very talented lady! I looked at your steampunk ATC's as well and this is the new rave isnt it?
    I came over to see if you had posted the ATC for Sept. But I will come back.

    My partner was Debbie and I posted her ATC on Saturday. I also posted my entry for the ATC Holder Challenge last night if you would like to take a peek at them you can at http://scrappingwithsherry.blogspot.com/

    Hope to see you there! Sherry

    Sooo exciting! That is an amazing purse. It is one of the loveliest, steamiest, punkiest steampunk objets d'art I've ever seen. I am in awe. The spigot was a stroke of genius. Congratulations!!!
