On a creative roll, I’m spending even more time in my art studio adding new artwork or readying larger pieces for introduction at a later date. As I surveyed my inventory, I realized I was low on steampunk works and added this 7″ x 5″ 3D collage – an unusual size for me.

I introduced a new process to my work with this art piece – a sculpturing paste fortified with toilet paper – you heard that right! It’s a technique I learned from Maria Grossbaum-Fondler – better known as Abyssimo – in her online classes (there is a cost). This is only the beginning of what can be accomplished with her unique art methods. I have only the greatest respect for Maria – her work is absolutely beautiful.

And now for the particulars…

Steampunk remains big and here’s my latest – fresh from my art studio. I love building a piece of art utilizing the industrial and Victorian aspects of this fascinating science fantasy sub-genre.

On a 7″ x 5″ stretched canvas, the depth of this piece is 1.0″. The background has multiple coats of paint, spritzes, and wax over a sculpted background. Fabric and then embellishments are added and finished off with spritzes of paint.

Embellishments include clock face, gears, wings, cloth, beads, and a vintage hors d’oeuvre fork.

Dimensions: 7.0″ x 5.0 x 1.0″

Hangers are attached and, while I prefer the no-frame look, this is ready for framing. This piece will also display nicely on an easel.
