The Clock Cousins

Cousins are wonderful (the first friends we have as children) and these two Clock Cousins are relatives of the Boo Sisters from an earlier post.  I used some of my gelli plate prints as well as the digital sheets from paperwhimsy and added some glitter, rhinestones and clock parts to give them some fine ‘clothes’.

I used some of the paper made by the Gelli Plate technique as the background of the angel. There are plenty of paperwhimsy background papers available to use that would work just as well.

After I glued on the paper, I trimmed carefully around it with an blade.

METHOD:

  • Spray paint the angel banners.
  • Add paper and trim around the edges with a blade.
  • Cut out the text from the collage sheet  for the shield and glue on. Put some clock parts on top of the shield.
  • Add a steampunk face
  • Add some glitter to the the wings and crown, along with some rhinestones.
  • Some millinery leaves at the bottom give the piece the feeling of it being a bird, which is a bit of final fun.
  • These can hang on the wall with a wire added to the back.
