Steampunk? Why not?

I don't dislike steampunk

but it's not my favorite style.

However my partner in a recent

altered altoids tin swap

requested steampunk.

So I dug through my stash of "things"

and found old keys

and wings

and gears

and arrows 

and crowns

and other assorted doo dads.

And this is what I came up with.

That's an actual 3 dimensional

copper and glass case

glued in on the left.

Always exciting to step out of the comfort zone

and spread your wings!

I would like to thank all my visitors

who took the time to leave such kind and comforting

words of encouragement.

All of this...

creating, blogging

is a struggle for me right now.

I feel the need to push myself though

to maintain some level of life as I knew it.

Your friendship means the world to me.
