Steampunk Halloween

 

I'm sharing this Halloween inspired spread with Elle (eotc), who has been a wonderful host this month at Art Journal Journey.  Her themes are Steampunk, Halloween, or Steampunk Halloween.  Since it's the last day of the month, this is my final entry.

I call this Steampunk Halloween.  Detail images are below.

 

 

I apologize that this scan is not what I had expected.  I will get to that shortly.  I first colored a sheet of deli paper with metallic turquoise acrylic paint. I then adhered it to my Halloween altered book.  I colored the pipes with brown dye ink and green dye ink so they would look old.  I then adhered them to the page and added the die cut pumpkin.

The top of the page didn't lie flat when I scanned it.  Therefore, the top pipe looks distorted, although it is not. 

I hope you will join Bleubeard and me at Art Journal Journey.  You still have time to share one more entry.  Once again, I want to thank Elle for being a great host this month at AJJ.
