You can find it and many other great publications at Stampington

The Conductor

This week for my post on Artistic Outpost
I would like to share another Steampunk Creation. Using the new Steampunk plate. I used the Antiqued Glimmers technique from TJ as the base for the train image.

I feel rather connected to these images. You see my Grandfather whom sadly I never met, worked on the railroad most of his life. I can remember my Grandma telling stories on how he would bring hobos who were riding the rails home for dinner for a hot meal. He had a big heart that was full of compassion. I suppose its a tribute to the Great man he was!

Playing with Epoxy Resin and Blog Candy

I've been having lots of fun trying out a new technique using 2 part epoxy resin and some vintage jewelry pieces. This stuff is so cool. It stays crystal clear no matter how deep it is. Its called Water clear. But warning... do follow ALL directions if you decide to try it out. Its very toxic and can cause serious health problems. I've tried lots of others and haven't had the same results as this.
Don't you think its time for a Giveaway?
I'll be putting together some jewelry pieces to go on my Etsy site but will also be giving away some of these as blog candy. I hope to have my giveaway posted on Thursday so come back and sign up and see what I'm offering.
