Here is a tag that I made using another wonderful image from the blog Crafty Moments, this one is labeled simply as "Steampunk Lady". I had grabbed this image and the Steampunk Mary when working on the thank you easel card but decided to go with the Mary image. However, I loved this one so much that I had to do a project just to show it off. Again the image came colored and non-colored and I took the non-colored then used the colored as an example to color with my Polychromos pencils. The clock inside was a free clip from the internet to which I added some colors to bring it out and the gears are from the Tim Holtz die "Gadget Gears". I don't know where the bling came from as it was an extra in an ebay buy and had no label. The yarn is from my stash (which no longer has a label and I am afraid I don't remember - do know I got it from Michaels though).
Here is the front of the tag.
Here is a closeup of the lady and the gear.
An even closer closeup.
And here is the back. I don't like leaving backs blank. I read this quote from Edgar Allan Poe and absolutely loved it - seemed to me to go so well with the image. It reads:
"She has halls and she has castles and the resonant Steam-Eagles follow far on the directing of her floating dove-like hand" - Edgar Allan Poe
No idea what Steam-Eagles is supposed to mean but I just love it!
cool tag!
