If your child has one you should go get it and
have a go of it, it is soo much fun.
This is a Spirograph and learning to draw face .
In the them of blue!

grab LOTS of black card stock and make a bigger one
and added the silver acrylic paint after it was all put together
to look metalic

3D Hot air balloon Steampunked WITH robot
Then came a Steampunked Hot air balloon with
steampunked Robot to ride in it
After designing in Make the cut , cutting it and making
it up I then took all the scraps of black card stock i had
left over from the cutting and ran it through the ebosser
using as many Steampunk like embossing folders i could
find in my collection. And added to the balloon over lapping
and random as i could get them . Then I put sliver acrylic paint
on my finger and lightly went over all the raised areas .
Felt it also needed a gear boarder around it which i
made with Make the cut and cut 6 layers to give it demention
Robot was designed in make the cut as well by me

3D Steampunk airship ONE
This years festival was to be airships.
So back late last year i set to making a pattern for
an air ship small but to see I was on the right track
of making it .
Before cutting in using the brown card stock i had i
grabbed a orange (that i knew i would not miss if it
did not work)
Cut it out went together so well I was soo pleased
with it that I added trims onto it to get the thickness
look that i was after I layered 6 of the same gears
on top of each other . Did some quilled card stock to
add other trims
It was all about building up the look till I was soo
happy with it (but had done all this work and it is
ORANGE!)
Added the pipe work at the back shapping the pipe
pieces as i glued them together .
So once it was all done I was in love with it that I
then took brown acrylic paint and gave it two coats of
it. After it was dry I used some gold and sliver acrylic
paint on my fingers and used it to highlight the raised
areas.
And sat alongside the small train set at the festival
