I started off with this old wood frame.
It soaked up the paint and inks. I also added some stencilling for added texture as well as some Frantage embossing powders.
I stuck down some die cut wheels and cogs etc.
They were also inked and smeared with gilding wax. I had the metal bits and pieces sent by a craft friend ages ago, they were just what I was looking for to add a bit more detail. Mr Frog is a digital image [Mischief circus] and the words were added with the help of the computer
A few splatters of black ink and I decided to call it a day.
This is one of my work in progress photos with the cuppa close by as usual.
Thank you all for calling in , your visit and comments are always appreciated.

The steampunk frog looks terrific. I'm also impressed as to how you made the die-cuts look metallic-rusted.
ReplyDeleteNice frame too - and not forgetting the owl.
Fabulous Steampunk project, I love Mr Frog and the metallic inks and embellishments.

The froggie in his top hat is super. It really makes the piece unique Yvonne. You did a great job making all the gears look old- well actually how the whole piece looks like a cool old metal piece of art.:) Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWell, considering that it's a frog and I really don't like frogs, this is pretty awesome! I love the texture and the way you combine your original with digital! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteI love that frog Yvonne! fab steampunk piece and its so clever how you combine the two techniques

This is both beautiful and very different. I really like the colors you chose and the gears and cogs. Your texture shows up well, too.
ReplyDeleteYour wood frame is a fabulous base layer for many projects. Love the cute frog, and your new header.
ReplyDeleteI love Mr Frog and he looks fabulous against that lovely metallic background. A great piece.

I saw this awesome page at TioT and came here in search.
ReplyDeleteMr. Frog makes me smile ... every time I look ... :D The background with gears and grunge is stunning. I do digital too and am really impressed at how 3D Mr. Frog looks! I had no idea this was a hybrid page.
Stunning Steampunk piece!
