Steampunk & Halloween Art Swap

Steampunk & Halloween Art Swap

I have been working on two art exchanges this past week for one of my art groups  inmyvintageroomandbeyond.blogspot.com- trying to get things "in" before the day after the deadline.  One of the challenges was to create a Halloween themed Little Fat Book Page, [a 4" x 4" chipboard based "canvas"]; and the other was to create 3 Steampunk ATC's [artist trading card - a 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" chipboard based "canvas"].  Halloween was not too much of a problem - but, although I love Steampunk, my mind has a hard time creating Steampunk!

The way the challenge's work are to create however many pieces of art the hostess request for a certain challenge.  For instance, Doris is the hostess for the Halloween swap asked for one for one LFB - so each participant will mail her their LFB and she will exchange one LFB for another and send it back through the mail.... the same for the ATC's.  Maura is the hostess of the Steampunk swap and she asked for 3 for 3 ATC's and whoever participates in the swap will receive three ATC's in exchange.  Let me tell you, this group of gals is so very talented....if you check out the blog [link is above] for pictures of the Steampunk ATC's after the 30th of this month you will see some amazing work.  The Halloween swap is not due until the middle of October but if you go to the above link you will see other excellent  creations from this talented group from past challenges.  There is a list of upcoming swaps/challenges on the right sidebar.  This group is always welcoming new artists to join in with us and share their talents.

With all that said, I'll share my exchanges - hopefully the gal who get's one of my "canvases" will like it.....

I'd like to add that there is a group of us from In My Vintage Room who are altering this paper mache witches hat....the reveal will be at our October Halloween Gathering Party on Oct. 29th - I'll post pictures after this event.  The blog has a post of ideas on Altered Witches Hats....here is the "naked" hat.....

good wishes ......
