A Couple of Steampunk Panels and a Handmade Journal

Hello creative friends.  Hope everyone is having a good week.  Mine has been going well.  This week I have a couple of steampunk panels I made using a couple of wood panels, die cuts of gears, modeling paste, a stencil, metallic paint, and ephemera from my stash.  I had my husband cut up a pallet into wood panels that I could use for painting on or mixed media. I also got a new large gears die cut from Sizzix and a Stampendous Gears Stencil that I used for this project.  After adding modeling paste through the stencil onto the panels and cutting out some gears with the die cut, I used metallic paint to color the panels and the die cut gears.  I attached the gears to the panels with dimensional dots and then add a quote from my stash.  Here are pictures of the panels I created.

And here is the video showing how I created these panels.

I also posted another video this week showing a flip through a Hummingbird journal that I made and have in my Etsy shop for sale.  Here is the video of this journal.

I really like the steampunk panels that I created and have them displayed in my living room.  And I really like the journal I made as well.  I love all of the journals I make and enjoy making them and sharing them with others.  I hope you like the videos and if you have any questions, please leave a comment.  If interested in this journal or any of the journals I created please visit my Etsy shop at https://www.etsy.com/shop/JoysArt360 or You can connect with me on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/joysart360/ if you have not done so already.  I hope you have a great week.  Until next time, happy creating.
