Steampunk Cuff for Mitform Castings

 

It is my turn as a Creative team member for Mitform Castings to inspire with a project.  I am off to the UK for a 4 day Steampunk event called the Asylum and I needed some accessory pieces to finish off an outfit. My inspiration was my vintage style compass and sun dial, purchased at the Vintage Market which I "MacGyvered"  from a table top version into a watch.  

I took a cuff I had purchased and traced the pattern off it, then added holes with Eyelets and ribbon so I could wear it. 

I started by asking my hubby to drill holes in the steam gauge so that I could rivet it on.

Then glued and riveted everything else on as well

I punched holes in the leather and used my rivet setter to anchor pieces in place.

The clock hands through the 1/4 gear were too tall for my rivets, so I used a nut and bolt to hold them on.

Mitform Casting World globe canvas

 Hello there

Today I have the pleasure of sharing this canvas that I made using the gorgeous Mitform Casting pieces.

The base paper is from Lady Vagabond Lifestyle background pad which I glued ontot he canvas.  The globe is a half a Christmas ornament with loose gears inside like a giant shaker on the A5 world texture impression sheet by Stamperia.

The actual globe stand I 3D printed from a file I found online.

Below you can see the step out photos of the progress as I worked on the canvas.

I planned where I wanted everything and set about gluing it and then painting the greyboard.  I added the art stones and then the castings

Here you can see close up shots of the castings
