Here's a layout I did of a museum exhibit we saw last year in Springfield, Mass. They have a little complex of museums you can go to with one price and in the courtyard is a Seuss Sculpture Garden. It was worth the price and time to visit the complex.
When we were there, they had this amazing steampunk exhibit with clothing, jewelry and animatronics. Here's a page with just some of the pics I took. I used Bo Bunny steampunk die cuts and the film at the bottom is theirs too. I just mixed some of my alphas for fun.
Do you like Steampunk as a thing? I've read some novels (mostly Young Adult) and enjoyed them and I love the mix of the gears and clocks and history with fantasy. The clothes are fab in my opinion, although when I told my daughter she ought to get one of the gowns, she said, "yeah, that's your style." sooooo....I guess I like everything about it!
Here's a fab example of a steampunk gown from the Socialbliss blog. Yeah, I'd wear that, y'know, twenty years ago.
Happy Monday,

I'm entering this in the May Challenge over at Bo Bunny here. You have til the end of the month if you want to join me! I'm using the sketch and lots of Garden Journal paper and buttons (both paper and regular buttons) from the collection.
Here's the sketch.
Here's my page with my daughter.
I used red and black cardstock and a handmade blue textured paper as well. The word is from Heidi Swapp.
Here's a close up of some of the buttons and paper. I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink on some edges.
Fun sketch with lots of layers...thanks, Bo Bunny, for the inspiration.
Happy Wednesday,
Chark
