Full Steampunk A Head

That's right a Steampunk Head, at least my version of one. I have been trying to get this finished up to play in two challenges. Studio L 3 for Grungy Monday.  The challenge was to do texture fades and distress a technique by none other than 

Tim Holtz .

 Followed by the challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show 

to use a Tim Holtz technique.

See the Bow tie, Ta-da!!!!!

The hat I constructed from heavy card stock.

The stamps are from Oxford Impressions

Tim's large clock face, and various bulbs from my private stock.

I covered one of those Styrofoam heads with torn music paper and gel medium,

followed by a wash of Gesso and sealed , The brows  (or wings) are from Oxford Impressions and the eye is from I brake for Stamps. The other eye is Tim's key hole plate and various other hardware!

It feels good to be A-Head of the challenge deadline this week.
