I Love Rusty things

Even if I have to make it myself.
Playing more with the New Steampunk Telegraph plate from
 Oxford Impressions
I created this rusty book. Stamped all the gears into Sculpty Epox
Then rusted everything up.
Bits and pieces come from an old cash register.
Added a layer of mica over the text.
So much fun to create!

    Rusty look also brings in the antique look with itself so me too loves it.The arrangements and creations are lovely and diffident considering the glitters that adorn the world of jewelry.
