Topic 13: Time Hi Everyone, Leandra here to introduce a new topic on the PaperArtsy Blog: Time. When I first started getting into this craft caper over 20 years ago, stamps that involved clocks, cogs/ gears, timepieces were among my regular favourites. I love how this images work in numerous situations, and easily provide a focal point. Before we get into the nitty gritty, here is Darcy with the winner for our last challenge which of course was Stencils. Darcy here...Stencils are so versatile, and you have come up with some brilliant techniques over the past 3 weeks. Amazing results have been achieved by reversing the stencil, layering your stencils, bumping, and using the stencil shape to create a transfer. Your finished projects have been stunning, from tags to journal pages, collages with embellies and sunny scrapbook layouts. Sooooo, the winning name out of the hat for Topic 12: Stencils..is...Susan Carol from Faith Words,Faith Expressions Please email Darcy to claim your prize [email protected] It's Leandra back with you to explore Time. First up, here is a short video. As you can see from the video, here at PaperArtsy we have numerous 'time' themed stamps, some quirky, some vintage, and some in the middle. Cast your mind back to 7 days ago, and you may vaguely recollect there was a new Hot Pick with Clocks on it too! Remember this...? But what I forgot to show in the video were these reasonably new stamps from earlier in the year, also Hot Picks. HPXT06 (lots of months/ dates), HPXT07 (large months in various fonts), HPXT08 (days/ timewords). We also have a 'clocks' series in the Ink and the Dog Stamp series. These stamps are 1/2 A4, so that is A6 size, about 3.5" x 5", and are available unmounted or EZ Mounted. These are still some of my favourite images from the Ink and the Dog series. Or if you prefer something a bit more quirky...how about these from Squiggly Ink? Again, there are numbers that are useful on clock faces, but there are also build-a-birds with clocks for tummies! So there are all kinds of stamps, and also plenty of minis that fit these themes already available. So what might you make with these, or any other time-themed stamps you might have to hand? Well here are some interesting ideas for you to consider! Well you could do some simple stamping/ masking and colouring onto AB pages, a bit like the above samples. Maybe you might find some time-relevant words to use in a journal page? Or maybe you will do something very mixed-media style with layers and texture, like these ideas Or this, a submission to Cloth Paper Scissors ? What about some layering of elements for a book cover? Or perhaps a book? I love how the pages are burnt at the edges, this also infers the passing of time, or perhaps how precious and fragile time is? The egg timer and clock are instered into niches, that are also distressed. Really nice book! But this looks like a lot of thought and planning has gone into this wonderful canvas. If you have a load of embellishments lying about, perhaps you might gives something like this a go? More here. There are many more ideas on my Pinterest page . I'll be pinning more over the next 2 weeks while this topic is open. I hope you can find time to join in!

Using Gillian Candler and Ned Barraud's shortlisted 'At The Beach' for inspiration, we made these rockpools full of creatures :) 3 D Fireworks Pictures 3D Fireworks Art! Capture technicolor fireworks in the night sky with a fun painting technique that really stands out! Great for all ages. You will need: White card Bright coloured oil pastels Black paint- I used washable tempera poster paint A thick paintbrush A small sharp tool like a vegetable knife, nail file, craft knife or skewer Scissors Small pieces of foam board or thick corrugated card Double sided tape or glue 1) Colour a sheet of card with oil pastel. Use lots of colours in bold patches. Don’t layer the colours though as they tend to get muddy looking. 2) Paint the whole sheet with thick black paint. Make sure all the pastel is covered. Let it dry thoroughly. You may have to do two coats. 3) Take a sharp tool and scratch back through the black paint to reveal the colours underneath. 4) Scratch the paint back into the shapes of fireworks exploding; big starbursts and cascades. Brush off the little bits of black paint you have scraped away. 5) Make two of these sheets- one will be the base. 6) Cut the out the fireworks from the second sheet- make them into circles of colour. Paint the backs of them black. Let them dry thoroughly 7) Stick small pieces of foam board to the backs- layering the foam to make different heights. 8) Stick them onto the base picture. You can slightly overlap them for a great effect. 9) Get really pictorial and make a cityscape, or dark hills in the foreground using the same technique. Gross Out! here's a little one for Halloween...cut out a few circles from bubble wrap. Stick double sided tape to the back of them. Stick 'em to your hands and face. Use a bit of face paint or makeup to make them pus coloured and finally a little red lipstick blended around the edges to create inflamed skin. Nice!!! Corker! Whilst you were drinking... Steampunk I've been making Steampunk outfits for a party on Saturday and because I don't want to spend anything but a bit of time squeezed in between projects, I googled how to make goggles, but they all required too much in the way of materials so I came up with my own version using my favourite ingredients; coffee and biscuits!

I have been creating some items for the Steampunk display we are making for the library. The theme for the teen summer reading program is "Beneath the Surface". Below are a few items that will come in handy while Zombie hunting. First is a Steampunk Journal. It's made from an old book I had saved from a discard from the library. The black hose is actually a plastic straw from a Six Flags cup. I made the gauge from a Powerade bottle cap and a downloaded print. I got the watch piece from my local jewelry store. They were happy to give me old watch pieces and gears. The larger gear I got from my local bicycle shop. They also had a big box full of old and bent gears and were happy to get rid of them. The other pieces I found in my mom's basement. One of my co workers raided her son's stash of NERF guns. Her son said I could use it if he could have it back after it had been transformed into a Steampunk gun. I found the brass pieces at Goodwill (total $2.67) I made the gauge, and part of the plastic straw again. The silver and gold color is Rub 'n Buff I found at Hobby Lobby. Another gun using and old tungsten tube, gear from the bicycle shop, and other bits and pieces I had around the house. The small gears are from the Dollar Store and came in a spirograph package. I knew these Tropicana tops would come in handy some day! With a little Rub 'n Buff, a downloaded gauge photo and topcoat of varnish, I transformed it into a pretty cool gauge. This is a 12" x 12" canvas I prepainted with green, cream and rust acrylic paint. I used several sizes of gears from the bicycle shop, old watch parts from the jewelry store, curly cue plastic straw, springs, and a few buttons. I really like how the helmet turned out. I found a yellow kid's construction helmut at Goodwill for 26 cents. I spray painted it silver, added upholstery studs and a copper painted plastic straw on top. I bought the goggles from Home Depot for $2.00. I just spray painted them and used a little Rub 'n Buff for the details. With just a little imagination, found items around your house or the Goodwill, spray paint and some hot glue you can create all sorts of Steampunk items.

Its been a while since I was at my desk creating... I was inspired by a recent acquisition of Snip Art Chipboards and some Finnabair molded items as well as some clock hands that I purchased at a vintage market. The photo above is my finished canvas, the photo below is how it started out! I first took out all my chipboards that I thought I might use, as well as the laser cut clock faces I was gifted. I set about laying everything out how I wanted it... then the painful part of gluing it all down... I used the 3D matte gel...this is not my favourite part of any project, but taking a photo of it before I start helps as sometimes you have to lift off so many things to glue the bottom item, that you forget what you had where... The photo below is of the glue drying... once again I have to leave the studio or I want to start painting it... this just causes frustration on my part if I do start painting, as the parts move around until the 3D gel has dried... Finally the glue was dry and I could gesso the whole thing followed by adding some black paint and spraying it with water so that it settles in the hollows... I added some vintage photo distress paint as I was heading towards a rusty look... but changed my mind when my eyes fell on my Sparks paints... so I used Ginger Magic and Raven black together with Brushed Iron Metallique Wax for highlights. Here is a close up of the finished canvas

Here we look at some of the great Steampunk journals available from inndependent artists in various price ranges and categories.

I am going through a steampunk phase at the moment, and what bedroom would not be complete without a steampunk lamp. The structure of the lamp is made using gal…

I've been challenging myself lately to come up with cheaper & easier crafts that still look amazing, since I know John and I tend to get a little (or a lot) crazy with the power tools and complicated builds. SO, even though this is hardly new territory in the craft world, I thought it'd be fun to show you guys a simple, mega-cheap raygun build that just about ANYONE can make, no power tools required. In fact, if you already have the paint and glue, this build will only cost you two dollars. Yep, just two bucks to go from this: and these: ... to this! Want one of your own? Then head to your local Dollar Tree and buy that pop gun and mini trophies. Plus, You Will Also Need: - hot glue or epoxy putty (available at any hardware store or Wal-Mart), plus E-6000 - Plastic spray primer, preferably in black - Rub N' Buff or other metallic wax in both gold and silver - sparkly nail polish in your choice of color(s) - (optional) Bead In A Bottle craft paint, for rivets First use some small cutters to cut the trophy handles away from the top of the trophy. As luck would have it, these clamp perfectly over the barrel of the pop gun: See? Now cut the bottom stand off the plastic trophy, flip it around, and glue it back in place. This will act as the ray gun barrel's tip: This gun has a plastic rod sticking out of the barrel that held the foam ball, so you can glue the trophy cup to that rod by filling it with either epoxy putty or hot glue. Cut apart a second trophy and use its handles to make two more brackets on the front barrel. If you're able to cut the second trophy's upper rim off, you can use that for the "dial" on the side of the gun, and the rest of the body as the little cap on top. (I say "if you're able," because the plastic is quite thick, and requires some serious sawing. A small hacksaw works great, or of course a dremel or scroll saw makes quick work of it.) Glue everything in place with E-6000 EXCEPT the "dial"; it's easier to paint that separately. Spray the gun with a plastic primer, then a black base coat, if the primer isn't already black. Now the fun part: Rub N' Buffin'! Start by covering the whole gun in a rough coat of gold wax. A small stiff paint brush works great for all those nooks and crannies. Next accent some of the raised sections with silver, and use nail polish to paint a few of the rivets to look like gems or indicator lights. You can also add some rivets to the handle with Bead In A Bottle Paint. This is the fun artsy part, so go nuts! The only extra material I used was a small strip of brass mesh around the top cup, since it looked a little plain. You could use craft foam, string, or even paper for a similar accent. This raygun is perfect for steampunk cosplay, of course, but I think it's pretty enough to also be a display piece! Hang it in a shadowbox frame or on brackets on the wall, or maybe later I can show you how to make a simple cardboard display stand, so you can set it up on a bookshelf. I hope this gets some creative sparks flying! And as always, if you do try this, please share pics on the Epbot FB page so I can see! (Psst. Want more? Then check out my Crafts Page to see ALL my geeky projects in one place!) ***** For my fellow Pinterest users - thanks for sharing the love!
