Steampunk Faux Book

YES... you read this correctly – I am doing a Steampunk project. This is week two of the steampunk challenge over at ABAC.

Thanks to my friend Adele she gave me some ideas on her favorite style.  

Supplies: gears, embossing powder, doilies, brads, clock faces, frame, modeling paste, ink,map paper, charms,wire, felt, paper machi book, paint, chain and porcelain number plate. Sorry I couldn't give you the brand since most of the items were just found items.

To change the colors of the metal charms I heated the up with my heat gun and dunk them into a jar of embossing powder. The heat set it. Here are some close-ups.

I burned the doily and papers with my heat embossing gun.

The inside of the box is painted gold.
