Normal service is resumed

no more naked men and blood.......well not for a while anyway!
I realised the other day that most of my recent blog posts have featured journal pages so I think it's time for something else.
So here is my mixed media steampunk book/necklace/thingy!

I started this piece about two weeks ago intending to make a pendant to enter into the Oh Alice! challenge where the theme was bling but I never got it finished in time! The pendant is now hanging in the aperture cut into the book cover

if you look closely I think (well hope) that you can see that there is a pic of Alice in there, it's on clear shrink plastic cut to fit the metal pendant/locket.............this was so hard to get a decent picture of!

it is suspended in the space by the metal prong thing sticking out the back of the cog, couldn't get it off so thought better make use of it then!

made use of those clock parts I acquired recently!

Oh yes, like the folded page bit at the bottom? I do, in fact I can't stop making them! It is an old book cut in half as in the number of pages and then in half as in height wise, this gives you 4 bits of book. You then fold each page in half and you get this fan effect, this is two pieces stuck back to back so each original book will make two pieces like this......sorry that was kinda hard to explain, I hope you got it!!
I spotted a challenge site I had not seen before over on Hels blog this morning, its called VANILLA SUGAR and the theme just happens to be CLOCKS!!! So I am going to enter this!
