Finding My Mojo!

So, today, I finally found my mojo again....cleaned and organized my craft area in anticipation of getting back into the creative mode. Traveling and a bout of addiction to reading the last month or so...oh, well, no more excuses!

Spine details with charms

Challenges times 3!

CC3C challenge information can be found here. Can you believe we are on challenge #13 in Tim Holtz's Compendium of Curiosites, using the worn cover. It is a lot of fun, pushes your creative bounds and has a ton of great inspiration! You can still get a copy of the book and join in. This challenge is being sponsored by Inspiration Emporium, and they have a lot of cool stuff you can buy, or win!

Used my distress inks to add some color inside and out. I am always surprised to see what I end up with.

So over at Simon Says, the challenge is "Anything Goes"! Love when they have this challenge, it's like a license to play! Information here.

Take the airship over to SanDee and Amelie's Steampunk Challenges here, where the challenge for October is "Steampunk Couture".

Makes it fun, fun, fun to roll these challenges into one!

So with my worn cover ready, it's now time to go steampunk! Added some gears, sewing pattern, jewels to the background and worked on my gal. Added a skirt, goggles and a few more bits and baubles. She is ready to climb into the nearest dirigible and fly the skies in her high fashion ensemble.

They say behind every good woman is a man, so the back cover is devoted to the gentlemen, whether they are posers or high fliers. (Love that little propeller) inked up some Tim Holtz papers, added gears and jewels, stamped and drew on the handlebar mustache.

I made the book into a photo book, did not have the right size binder, so experimented with waxed thread and rings...seems to work ok.

Details, details...

There you have it! Steampunk Couture book done, and the creative spirit is working again! Hope you have enjoyed this little journey, thanks for flying in. What's that I hear? My airship is here, gotta go!
