Hi all. Over at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge this week, they want to see masculine!
I am also entering this into this month's challenge at More Than Words. I usually don't combine challenges, but this fit the theme of father and steampunk, with cogs and mustache well.
I am also going to use this to enter into A Vintage Journey challenge this month as well!

I decided to make an 8" x 10" mixed media canvas for my son.
I added tons of texture (fibers, drywall tape, modeling past), covered it all with white gesso... then sprayed with black and blues.
After adding metal, wood and other embellishments, I gessoed the whole thing again.. and sprayed and rubbed until I was happy. Then I added the photo and some journaling.
Hope you like it!

Thanks for taking a peek!
