This is one that I did as an extra and decided to publish today rather than wait a couple of days for the next one for my theme at Art Journal Journey where I am guest host.
It is an image by Stampendous and reminds me of a wooden bird I once did with Tim Holtz years ago at CHA. I am afraid my wooden bird has lost lots of his bits and only seems to have a little propellor and a measure stuck to his tail left. Maybe now is the time to resurrect him. Here is the page:
He is a Stampendous image, as I said, and he was coloured in using Inktense watercolour crayons. I tried to get as close to a rust colour as possible and went with grey and some other orangey colours as well. I don't know where the words came from but I thought they were quite apt. The cogs were a diecut cut in a beige coloured cardstock and the stencil is from Lavinia, again a second image where the stencil had been used and the ink left on, was spritzed and placed ink side down on the card.
Maybe I should find some feathers for my Tim Holtz bird, I'll certainly be looking at some of my wooden gears to place on him now I have got him down and dusted him off.
Would love you to join us at AJJ with your 'In Gear' creations.
