AN AUTHENTIC STEAM PUNK BOUQUET

Our Etsy Team Gift Exchange was this week.


I decided to try something out of the ordinary for me, so with "Steam Punk" in mind and an empty chili sauce jar I went a bit crazy.


At first I thought I would just make it a pencil holder.


The more I thought about it the more I added.


There are actually three of my collages on here.
This is the bottom of the piece.


Then I thought of making it a flower pot and adding flowers.......
used copper wiring works really good!


Adding some old washers and bolts....This is what I ended up with.




It was so much fun watching this evolve into an actual bouquet :)

I will be choosing a name for my new Etsy Shop this weekend.
I will pick 5 and then choose 3 out of 5 and post them here for my readers to vote on.
I have many to choose from and I thank all of you for your help.
The winner will be posted the day after Thanksgiving.

I have lots of work to do. A new shop means a new Icon with a new business card and then I have to go set up my shop.

Gotta get busy!
