Who doesn’t love a sock gnome? They are just so quick and easy to make and they look just adorable. I made some last year to decorate my house but thought it was time to have some steampunk sock gnomes. If you follow my blog you know I am steampunk mad so this just had to happen. Each steampunk sock gnome was given his own unique steampunk hat and styling.
Recently our international blogger group had the challenge to create something out of resin. This was my first attempt at the challenge. I wanted to try and shape resin around an object to get an interesting shape. I knew I wanted to make a bowl of some description but in the end, I was not happy with the colour.
I am in the process of trying to clean up my workshop to make more room for me to work in. Because I never say no to free wood, I have found myself crammed into one small section. To use up some of the smaller pieces of wood I am making a few different wooden Wall Hangings. This wall hanging was so much fun to make and making the design up as I went along made the design unique to me.
I don’t think this project will be a big surprise to people who follow my blog. Because I have been steampunk mad all this year, a steampunk Christmas tree was inevitable. The idea came from a comment on one of my other steampunk projects. A lady said it would be interesting to see what I come up with for Christmas and she was hoping it was a Christmas tree. I saw that as a challenge and after some thought this was what I came up with.
If you follow my blog you will know last year I started doing steampunk and now I am totally addicted to it. So with valentines day coming up a steampunk heart seemed like the most obvious choice of project. But I wanted to take it a step further and try and make a 3D steampunk heart out of cardboard.
Today’s post is our next Int’l Bloggers Club challenge and the theme this week is “Cast in Concrete”. We have to create a project using concrete in any way, shape or form. I chose to make Zen styled garden decor. I have never used concrete before so I did not have high hopes for the outcome. More about IBC at the end of this post.
Do you look at photos from other DIY Bloggers and get photo envy? I do all the time, they have such beautiful stage photos, they put mine to shame. In a bid to improve my photos I wanted to make some photography props for staging. Because I am steampunk mad at the moment, a steampunk prop camera was first on my list.
