I LOVE fall--the weather, school activities, nature, colors. It's just amazing how beautiful the world becomes with all the colors and the crisp nip of the morning air. This year it was as if the world just knew it was time to change seasons...the air this morning was nice and crisp and we've been spending a few days with the doors and windows open!
Today I created this whimsical steampunk necklace...the focus piece is all diecut gears and leaves on the ends--book paper over chipboard and then drybrushed with Hooker Green and Copper paint.
The gears are layered on Buttons Galore and More Buttons and some wired washers and a wee bit of acrylic that provided a base on which to build.
Thank you for stopping by!! I hope you enjoy my projects that help me with the changing of the season! Be sure to check out the rest of the creations from my amazingly crafty friends!! Those with asterisks have a give away! You can find details to my give away at the end of the hop! :)
